"Don't ask about ISIS today" Takes Campaign Incompetence To A Higher Level [View all]

[KittyWampus]

Any campaign that would state to the press "don't ask about Topic X" pretty much ENSURES they will ask relentlessly about Topic X.

It's self-sabotage.

After the fact, any good experienced national campaigner would be able to either steer the press in whatever direction they want OR be flexible enough to deal with them and not appear testy.

The problem isn't that Bernie shouldn't have focused on Baltimore residents and the economy.

The problem is that his campaign staff and campaign skills, outside of speaking to his supporters, need some serious upgrading.

AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET HARDER.

I get Sanders supporters need to defend him. But you better hope his campaign figures out how to deal with the national spotlight 24/7. And Sanders better start appearing more flexible.
