Governors Jeb Bush and John Kasich joined Vine — during the CNN Republican debate

Gov. Jeb Bush joined social network Vine at an unusual time on Wednesday: while he was debating Republican candidates during CNN's live debate.

This screenshot, provided by Huffington Post's Ryan J. Reilly, is as hilarious as it is slightly misleading. A social media campaign manager likely joined Vine on his behalf, which Reilly saw when Bush's Twitter account was connected to Vine under the same name. It seems that Gov. John Kasich joined Vine at the same time, too:

Kasich's first Vine was a moment from the debate:

While Bush's new Vine account already collected 369 followers just minutes after it was created, it had posted no Vines. What Bush's first Vine will be? No one knows.
