A few dominant narratives emerged from Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate in Boulder, Colorado. One: The GOP and it’s supporters hate the media. Two: Donald Trump polls well with the GOP base regardless of his debate performance. And three: Jeb Bush’s campaign might be toast.
But there’s also something to be learned from Google, the company that seems to know what we’re thinking before we even think it. The folks at Google Trends compiled a mound of data during the debate, looking at real-time searches of the candidates, what people are trying to learn about each candidate, and the sheer dominance of Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina during the night’s undercard debate that preceded the main event.
One Google interactive looked at which candidate people searched for after searching for another candidate. In other words, after people Googled Trump, who did they search for next? The answer: Ben Carson. Click on a candidate below to see the related candidates.
