We slog through the Twitter streams of the 2016 Presidential candidates and give you a weekly roundup of the more entertaining ones.  

Another head-spinning week, as Trump racked up victories in South Carolina and Nevada (and every other time and place ever according to him), and America was treated to another free-for-all "debate." (Best line of the night: Ben Carson pondering the "fruit salad of their lives," when asked about potential Supreme Court picks.)


And we lost Jeb(!). He sent out this sad farewell tweet. Not even a rousing exclamation point see us off.

Thank you.https://t.co/UWuRQccifU

I know I'll miss his truly terrible Twitter optics, like this one him posing awkwardly and alone in a green screen.



The word-nerd part of me loves this: Used like a GOAT, fired like a DOG.

Wow was Ted Cruz disloyal to his very capable director of communication. He used him as a scape goat-fired like a dog! Ted panicked.

Clinton shamelessly co-opts this viral moment, and also misses the point of it all.

If this team wins the White House, Virginia is invited to come by and dance any time. https://t.co/K0YclxQQbv pic.twitter.com/QPdB1NjE21

The Sanders playlist expands: Killer Mike, Red Hot Chili Peppers, now Woody Guthrie.

Woody Guthrie is one of the greatest musicians in history. His songs spoke to the reality of working-class life.https://t.co/ijqcxdZY5d

Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney jumped in the fray, using some of that fancy-person talk that helped torpedo his 2012 campaign.

Methinks the Donald doth protest too much. Show voters your back taxes, @realDonaldTrump. #WhatIsHeHiding

Marco Rubio picked up endorsements, including highly coveted ones from wrestler Kurt Angle, Mr. Proud to Be an American Lee Greenwood and "the other Wahlberg."

Glad to have @DonnieWahlberg's support in this campaign! Welcome to the team! https://t.co/0JlelRiPMp
