Eleven Republican candidates running for president gathered at the Ronald Reagan library in California for the second GOP debate on Wednesday night.
Staged in front of Reagan’s Air Force One, the debate covered a broad range of topics, including marijuana, immigration, same-sex marriage and Planned Parenthood.
Front-runner Donald Trump and other candidates, including retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and businesswoman Carly Fiorina, debated for three hours, providing endless fodder for social media commentary.
Here are the top 10 tweets from the night:

Not one question at the #GOPDebate tonight about the 800 police shootings this year or about #BlackLivesMatter. pic.twitter.com/ffTX9gCbWH

I remember Kasich once asked me how two black people could have a different opinion on an issue. Dead serious.

Was Reagan a Demi-God? Was he the second coming and no one told me? That’s just rude. #GOPdebate #TWIBdebates

Carly Fiorina goes for irony, says don’t put a woman on the $10. It’s just a gesture. Recognize women’s contributions. #GOPdebate

Did @carlyfiorina just give @realDonaldTrump the #ByeFelicia look with that weak ass “she’s beautiful” compliment? #GOPDebate
