They do nothing to help us find good leaders. Probably the opposite. People who think and listen before speaking are penalized. Yet this is what we need from a leader.#
Has Bernie Sanders ever listened? To anyone? Ever?#
Biden is even more pitiful. Please if someone loves him tell him to quit. He lost.#
I were on the debate stage last night, I would have done what Bloomberg did. All these people yelling about crazy nonsense, a lot of it at me, should I join in the yelling? Fuck no.#
People say Bloomberg didn't respond to the accusations. I listened to what he said, this is what I heard.#
Yes, I made a lot of money, and I'm giving it all away.#
What his critics really mean is that he declined to partake in the food fight. #
I was shocked when I realized that lots of people were going to vote for Trump. But that's nothing compared to the gobsmacking realization that enough people want Sanders that he might actually be the nominee.#
I guess the way to win people's hearts is to yell at them and over them, wave your hands in their face, and never listen to anyone.#
Sanders has a slogan for everything, except it's always the same slogan.#
I think Sanders would be great on Crossfire. As president. Oh god help us.#
Sanders is so awful he must be a Putin plant. When the oppo research comes out, obviously after he's nominated, I feel certain we're going to see pictures of him at dinner with Putin in Moscow with Jill Stein and Michael Flynn.#
Felt sad when I realized Buttigieg is by far the youngest person on the stage, but Sanders is getting the support from young people.#
Bob Bierman: "Man. Dems are going to have to do better than spend the evening taking easy razzle-dazzle shots at a billionaire who lacks theatricality and defensiveness but is giving all his money away to progressive causes. Where were the redirects to core issues?"#
Brendan Greeley: "Bloomberg is an organization where journalists fly business class. I want to say that didn't matter but I also don't want to lie to you people."#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
