But did they watch the debate?
While a record primary debate television audience was watching Republican presidential candidates appeal to the average Joe in Thursday night's debate in Cleveland, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton was yukking it up with the usual Hollywood liberals.
The likes of reality television star Kim Kardashian gushed over the one-term senator and former first lady and secretary of state, tweeting, "I got my selfie [which included husband Kanye West]. I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country."
The event, held at the home of Scooter Braun, manager of singers Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, cost $2,700 a head to attend.
Vanity Fair reported the usual liberal suspects showed up, including "fellow everyday Americans" such as film studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, actress Jessica Alba, actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, and singer Usher.
Men must remain silent
Men, according to Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., shouldn't have anything to say about Planned Parenthood and its sales of fetal tissue and parts because they haven't borne children, she told Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., last week.
"I gave birth to two premature kids," she said on the Senate floor, "and I just don't like lectures by men about what it's like. And thank God they made it. I'm pro-choice, and I just have to say using pregnancy as a political football doesn't sit well with the people I represent and the people of this country. Keep Uncle Sam out of my private life!"
However, Lankford properly put Boxer in her place, telling her the Planned Parenthood kerfuffle "is not just a women's issue" and, in fact, "is a family issue" and is "extremely important to all of us."
"I am a dad of two daughters," he said. "I had something to do with their birth as well. I was there during the sonograms. My wife and I are extremely close. And to be a dad of two daughters, I am very passionate not only about my own wife, but about my mom. I'm passionate about my daughters having every single opportunity."
A spokesman for the Oklahoma senator said the dust-up wouldn't keep him from continuing "respectful dialogue about the miracle of human life."
"Senator Lankford values the ability to have a civil debate about the millions of taxpayer dollars funding Planned Parenthood, and he looks forward to continuing this important discussion," the spokesman said.
Just answer the question
The Obama administration is getting a little tense over the blowback about the nuclear arms agreement it negotiated with Iran, the world's leading terror sponsor.
During a Senate hearing on the agreement and its undisclosed side deals last week, key negotiator Wendy Sherman, the undersecretary for political affairs, would not directly answer a question by Sen. David Vitter, R-La., as to whether it was "appropriate" that he not be allowed to read the deals made between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"I have to vote on this agreement," he said. "You don't think it's appropriate that I would get to read it?"
Sherman said she would have to share details of the agreement in a "classified" session with lawmakers.
When Vitter asked again, she said he'd "have to make your own judgment about it"; then, when he pressed again, she said it was her opinion "it's in the United States' national security interests for there to be a comprehensive safeguards protocol and that those protocols remain confidential."
When he asked a fifth time, she said she "didn't have those agreements to give to you, sir."
With negotiators like Sherman, it's no wonder opposition is mounting to the arms deal.
Walking 'with a purpose'
The sight of a Confederate battle flag now is apparently cause for calling the police. That's what happened on Lee Highway in Arlington, Va., recently when "concerned" citizen Wayne Jaing called police because a man was walking "very deliberately" down a sidewalk with a hybrid Confederate flag over his shoulder. The flag had the Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" snake in the middle.
Jaing also tweeted a photo of the man, who he said was walking "with a purpose."
"[He was] not yelling anything, but [you] could tell he was walking with pride in his step," the concerned citizen told ARLnow.
The news outlet later announced such was "highly unusual for Arlington," forgetting perhaps that Virginia was a key state in the Confederacy, that it has a Confederate flag license option and that the Stars and Bars is flown at the national cemetery.
Upon the call, police dispatchers quickly determined "the man was exercising his First Amendment rights and not violating the law," according to WTOP.
