20. It could have something to do with the lack of Clinton press conferences

Mar 2019

263 days is a long time to be out of the spot light. Interviews, yes - 300 according to Mook.
I hope the press and the candidates will be focusing on platforms this time. I think every one is done with hearing about Trump's antics. Not that they should be silent on his blunders, just that they don't need to ask every Democratic nominee what they think about him - every one knows! Would be nice if they could separate the stories. Not make Trump THE story every time. They really hurt Clinton that way.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
