and we will do what? Silently sit by or tsk tsk?

I actually agree with them. We have to do things outside the box this year and do it especially well. People aren’t bored this year; they are ANGRY, and if we don’t take this opportunity to turn their anger into votes, then shame on us. If news organizations are going to send reporters and cameras to the Republicans, then we must demand equal time. And yes, I challenge our leaders to gather us all together and show the country who can bring the biggest crowds.
