Where was Hillary Clinton during the debate?

Where was Hillary Clinton during the first 2016 GOP debate Thursday night?

Asking donors for money and taking selfies with Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West, attended a sold-out Clinton event where tickets cost $2,700 per person.

Clinton, who is vying for the Democratic nomination for the White House, said in a statement during the debate,“I’m not watching, and I don’t need to be.”

Then she added, "I'm on the road tonight, but I wanted to take a moment to ask you to chip in $1 or more right now to fight for the vision you and I share."

Earlier in the day, Clinton met with home-care aides in Los Angeles, where she said she was "constantly in a state of disbelief" at what she hears from her 2016 rivals.

Clinton never mentioned any rivals by name but has been sharpening her criticism of some of the candidates in the GOP field.

"We've got people, well let's just say we've got people running for president, who I don't know what world they live in. I don't understand it. It's truly amazing to me," the Democratic front-runner said. ", "This is serious. Because it really is about people's lives. And we make it just about as hard as we can imagine for women, in general and women with families in particular, to be able to work and take care of their families. We make it so hard."
