2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt is August, and every August the Democratic Candidate for President disappears from the News
It seems like Every August the Democratic Presidential Candidates take a break. Instead of pushing and fighting tooth and nail for more voters they disappear for vacation.
Hillary Clinton better get back out there and keep pushing her ideas and agenda in the media.
Where is her next big rally anyway?

(14,167 posts)But I do understand what you mean. I do want to hear about Clinton's ideas and her plans for the first 100 days.
But the Trump thing -- it feels like we need to see how this plays out. If the Republicans choose another candidate to run, we'd have to develop oppo and re-tool to campaign against that person.
We shouldn't lay all our cards on the table just yet.

(14,572 posts)pretty big deal, that is the one thing that can take the air out of the press coverage of political races a bit.
That said, Hillary has been busting ass from PA westward since the end of the convention.
