Tweet-Cap: UT Democrats v. College Republicans Debate

March 31, 2014

Last Wednesday, The Horn hosted a debate between UT’s College Republicans and University Democrats, which was moderated by The Horn and ORANGE magazine (that’s us). The debate covered topics of economy, education, healthcare and immigration. Overall, the deliberation was a success; a full house packed the Texas Union Theatre, and debaters led substantial arguments with interesting viewpoints. The real action, however, took place on the live Twitter feed rolling in the front of the room with the hashtag #UTdebate. Many questions were posed by the audience, and some brawls even broke out among select handles.
