Cory Booker's tweets read like bad dad joke to me. About as Goofy and harmless as a dad joke too.

Gillibrand has some really good talking points. I saw that Franken was trending on twitter while she was talking and wanted to hulk smash my phone. People are the worst.

I feel she did a pretty good job with both. I don't get that she went into either situation with a "burn it down" mentality that seems to be out there. Her explanation on Franken was much better than her explanation on her own staff but to be expected since she's had more time to polish it.

I am going to need Booker to be less creepy about his coffee. I felt this way too at first, but then I realize that my love for coffee is borderline creepy, so I decided that I'm glad we have that in common. He totally needs to keep it off twitter though! haha.

Hahahah I think we're going to see more and more of this as more younger people run for office. Social media archives are a weird and emo place.

CNN to hold town halls with Hickenlooper and Booker.
Hickenlooper is tomorrow, Booker next week.
I hope Hickenlooper decides to drop out soon, because typing his name is tiresome

I booked my summer trip back home (IA) and looked up my hometown brewery and last month they had Booker give a talk there! THat would be rad if another another candidate would speak at it while we are back! Maybe I should send an email to Pete’s Campaign and suggest it! 😂

Read this tweet from Bernard's press sec and then ask me again why I think he's bad for the country
"@realdonaldtrump is right. The dems pushed the "Russia did the hacking" angle b/c it was politically advantageous for them. #debatenight"

This is about to blow wide open SCOOP @davidsirota, just hired as Bernie Sanders' speechwriter and senior adviser, has been quietly writing speeches and advising him for months without disclosing it but while bashing pretty much every candidate in the field: t.co/VBSp7dBbyx

It should.

Was just at a neighbors house for a thing and they had mayor Pete’s book on the coffee table. I got really excited and at least one other person there had seen his town hall. We are far from IN so it was amazing to me!

I just found out that chasten's original surname was Glezman. He gave up an easy to say and spell name to take on Buttigieg. Now that's love.

Yes, I've seen that reposted too! And I think he is genuinely someone to be excited about, and I'm glad he is in the race.
