The acclaimed creator of Hamilton/sunshine in human form Lin-Manuel Miranda live-tweeted the First Presidential Debate. And it’s all kinds of wonderful.

Got my mojo risin'.

When "I have the right temperament" gets the biggest house laugh, it's not going your way. pic.twitter.com/mRLKUR60UR

I'm embarrassed by how long I looked for a gif of a police officer grinding with a judge for "A very against police judge."

The only thing it’s missing is Hamilton references. But it’s cool. Hamilfans got his back.

"Don't modulate the key and not debate with me!" May @HillaryClinton channel her inner #Hamilton tonight (well, her inner @Lin_Manuel)

“pray to God we never see Donald Trump's presidency” @Lin_Manuel I'm easing my stress over this debate with Hamilton lyric changes.

I'd just like to remind everyone that Rosie O'Donnell has seen Hamilton at least 12 times so she actually won this debate.
