Making yet another phone call to (my) Sen Schumer's Office. This time I suggested doing press conferences several days..

a week not every day. They do have other things to do.

Say: Mon, Weds, Fri; one week. Tues, and Thurs the next week. The back yo M,W,F, etc.

Obviously things happen and it might change up.
Will MSM carry it? Maybe?
PBS might.
Local Public Radio might.

Imho, It's worth a try.

Schumer needs to hand off the press conferences... ultralite001 Feb 18 #1

Actually, I don't disagree. I Did say Other Dems should be with him. He wouldn't be the only one speaking. electric_blue68 Feb 18 #2

Keep Schumer out of the spotlight . Have him delegate that to Sen Murphy, Sen Whitehouse, Ars Longa Feb 20 #3

This is a great idea. For too long our voices in Congress have been quiet. LET'S DO THIS! CTyankee Feb 25 #4

to the younger party firebrands... Schumer can't muster the enthusiasm,
drive, spark that the party needs -- + the MSM craves...

Schumer can help craft the message... Someone w/ spirit + love of our country
needs to drive the message into America's ❤❤❤...
