In a strange turn of events, #VotersFirst was the No. 1 trending topic Monday night as viewers tuned into C-SPAN to get a potential preview of Thursday night’s big GOP debate via the Voters First Presidential Forum. Oddly, George Pataki was the only candidate who appeared at the forum who managed to trend as well (at No. 10).
Was it Pataki’s dynamic presence that took America by surprise?

Surprised to see George Pataki trending when only 3 people in the world even know who he is.

I just learned that George Pataki is running for president. That's not a good sign for a presidential campaign.
