There wasn't much discussion on small business in last week’s Republican Party presidential debate. Here’s how the small biz community responded to it on Twitter.
Republican hopefuls in the 2016 presidential race took the stage for the second time last week. While the candidates weighed in on issues ranging from minimum wage to climate change, this GOP debate was similar to the first in that it didn’t cover enough of the economy’s backbone: small business.

The big winner of last night’s GOP debate? @HillaryClinton. The big losers? The American middle class, women, small business, the climate

Economic growth is anemic. #smallbiz doesn’t see sales going up anytime soon, but no one is talking about that at the #GOPDebate.
