"Do you think your tweets turn people off?" "THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING IS OUTRAGEOUS, I WILL NOT DIGNIFY IT ANY LONGER WITH MY PRESENCE" — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, the questions were fine. But this was not some kind of wildly hostile grilling that should have triggered a presidential fight-or-flight response. — PolitiTweet.org

@ibflorea @jonlovett hah, thanks! though I have to give credit to @katherinemiller for the headline on that piece. I remember she'd been using it as a placeholder and then when we tried to brainstorm real headlines we were like "eh, this one actually works" — PolitiTweet.org

@ibflorea lol thank you for remembering this all-time headline https://t.co/V8wtrLH6Ed — PolitiTweet.org

I watched exactly five minutes of that World Series game, and it was the right five minutes. — PolitiTweet.org

@literaryeric @MattZeitlin @michaelbd Yeah, I'd say Clinton, McCain, and Gore all *clearly* took it harder than Romney. Not sure about Kerry. — PolitiTweet.org

PSA to my friends in New York: You don't need to use Donald Trump as an excuse to post those videos of people playing classical music in the park or whatever. If you want to post them, just post them! https://t.co/mtTYfZs06V — PolitiTweet.org

I was going to text all the Regular Americans to find out what they thought of the debate, but my 2yo made off with my phone earlier tonight and now I can't find it. Anyway, let me tell you what I *think* they would say... (1/62) — PolitiTweet.org
