9/11 fell the day before debate night, and the campaigns were scrambling to make up for it. Instead of the usual day-before email blasts, they had to pile them all onto that Thursday, and then the weekend had a looming MID-MONTH DEADLINE just before the FEC END OF QUARTER DEADLINE!
To say it was a busy week is just a little bit of an understatement.

Day 115: 9/12/19
Debate night. How bad could it be, right? There are only 10 candidates on stage…
Let’s just say I skipped all watch parties just to keep on top of my emails, and I still fell behind. How dare I need sleep on a Thursday night?

Where to even begin with Thursday’s emails? Julian Castro repeated his gun-violence email from earlier this week, still without a trigger warning (though slightly improved since the last time). Kamala Harris is still struggling with her funding. Bill de Blasio has a plan to fight automation. Bernie Sanders has never changed, while Pete Buttigieg says change is necessary.
And despite this packed day, nobody managed to upset me as much as Michael Bennet early in the morning.

Over the weekend, Kirsten Gillibrand was begging for donations, Cory Booker had a new mug, and Amy Klobuchar wanted to show John Hickenlooper some love.

Over the weekend, Julian Castro was totally not distracted, Bernie Sanders revealed his baseball card, and Elizabeth Warren is running for President “because that’s what girls do.”

Week 13 marks the 100th post on But Their Emails! I need to give huge kudos to Tirra, who designed my logo and managed to pull it straight out of my brain, and BroadCityChessClub who suggested the name. For the 100th post, I thought I’d give you a fun fact: the original Twitter handle I got when I signed up for this blog was @their_but. I decided to change it for… reasons.
But it did make me laugh.
In Week 13, John Hickenlooper dropped out, Kamala Harris really wants money, and Beto O’Rourke has a heart.

On Wednesday, Michael Bennet launched a book with a truly attention-grabbing email, Julian Castro was clapping back at Trump, and while Bernie Sanders kept his subject shorter, he doubled down in his email length.
