In reply to the discussion: This is how to handle the reporters that frame questions to put Democrats on the defensive... Great job Joe Neguse! [View all]ForgedCrank

did I say to ignore the Trump factor. In fact, I very specifically said that it needs to be a PART of the answer. "Re-framing the question" isn't what we need, we need the question answered, and it wasn't. He can add all he wants to it, but answer the question first.
In fact, this has been the standard method of handling questions for a very long time, and yea, look where it has gotten us.
Actual details of why Democrats are handling this the way they are consist of a minute portion of what reaches the public, and I find that to be unacceptable. He blew an opportunity by giving us another wheelbarrow full of what we already have plenty of.
