Sanders, a senator from Vermont who lost his presidential bid to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, took to Twitter with 26 tweets during the debate. He sporadically used the hashtag, #DebateWithBernie.
To get things going, Sanders posted a photo of himself watching TV:

From there, his posts all directly mention Trump in some way or another.
"I don't know if it's a world record but Donald Trump has been sued more than 3,500 times over the past 30 years," he wrote in his 11th post while the debate was happening.
But it was his 18th and only tweet of the night that mentioned Clinton:
.@HillaryClinton is right: Private prisons are a disgrace. Corporations should not make profits off the imprisonment of fellow Americans.

The other 25 criticized Trump. Here's a rundown of his rant, of which each post was shared and 'liked' thousands of times:
I hope Trump tells us tonight why, amidst huge inequality, he thinks we should give huge tax breaks to billionaires. #DebateWithBernie

I hope Trump tells us tonight why despite all the scientific evidence he thinks climate change is a "hoax.” #DebateWithBernie

I hope Trump tells us what happens to the 20 million he would throw off health insurance. How many will die or become much sicker? #debates

Glad Trump is concerned about manufacturing jobs going abroad. He might want to start making his clothing in the US not low-wage countries.

If Trump is concerned about companies going abroad maybe he should move his plants out of Bangladesh where workers are paid 30 cents an hour

Here is Trump's tax proposal: $3 trillion in tax cuts to millionaires. Exactly the wrong policy at exactly the wrong time. #debates

Trump’s tax plan includes eliminating the estate tax which provides a $353 billion tax break to the top .3% & $4 billion to his own family.

The Walton family of Walmart would get a $53 billion tax break if the estate tax is repealed, which is what Trump wants. #DebateWithBernie

Many of these lawsuits were filed by working class americans who worked for Trump and never got paid.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
Oh yeah, Trump will stand up for working people. 7 of his 13 top economic aids are Wall Street bankers. Just what the country needs more of.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
The US has more people in jail than any country. 2.2 million people. This is a disgrace. We need real criminal justice reform. #debates

One of the great disgraces of Trump's behavior has been his leadersip in the "birther movement" - a racist effort. #DebateWithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
Absolutely disgraceful! #debates

I don't often agree with @MittRomney but he's right: Trump is a "fraud" and a "phony." #DebateWithBernie

How dare Trump express concerns about African Americans when his birther efforts attempted to delegitimize @POTUS. What a hypocrite!
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
This is crazy. After trying to delegitimize Obama's presidency now Trump says he did the country a favor. #debatenight
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
Speaking of generals, four-star General Colin Powell referred to Trump as “a national disgrace” and an “international pariah.” #debatenight

The difficulty of discussions with Donald Trump is that he lies all the time. That's not my view. That's the view of media that covers him.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
NBC has documented at least 117 times Trump has switched positions on immigration to guns to abortion since he announced he was running.

Millions of young people are leaving school deeply in debt, impacting their future. Does Trump have anything to say about that? #debatenight
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
Trump wants more tax breaks for billionaires, won't raise the min. wage & denies climate change. This isn't someone who should be president.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 27, 2016
And he ended with this:
I am going to work as hard as I can to make sure Donald Trump does not become the next president. Register to vote. https://t.co/IoDsHhbM4R
