SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - After former Senator Mike Gravel failed to make the Democratic debate stage this week, the two teens running the 89-year-old's long-shot U.S. presidential campaign used their spot on the sidelines trying to attract new supporters through social media.

David Oks and Henry Williams, both 18, spent Wednesday firing tweets from their seats in the debate's Miami audience, attacking the candidates speaking on stage.
