Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic Party nomination, criticized the candidates for talking tough on foreign policy:
Can these guys talk about anything other than their desire to go to war? #DebateWithBernie— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1442450847.0

And for seemingly ducking a discussion regarding climate change at the same time:
Still waiting. Will they ever talk about climate change as a foreign policy issue? Or talk about it all? #DebateWithBernie— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1442450663.0
Rubio knows California has a drought. Will he have the courage to connect that to climate change or reject the science? #DebateWithBernie— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1442448970.0
He also hit individual candidates on various issues throughout the evening:
Kasich. You don't know ANYBODY who doesn't think we should defund Planned Parenthood? Really? You apparently don't know the American people.— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1442451464.0

He also had the same question that other viewers may have shared during the three-hour debate:
Does anyone know... when will this debate finally end? #DebateWithBernie— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1442456552.0
