It's like they've never seen an election before. Elections are close and scary sometimes! Grow up! This kind of public bed wetting just makes you (and the candidate) look weak. Don't do it.
I don't get the argument here. If you're saying this election is MORE important than usual (something which I agree with!) then it's all the MORE important not to collectively look like a bunch of cringing cowards sprinting away from the candidate whom we NEED to win this thing.
This exactly!
Like I know why my side is like this, I know to expect it—we have been here almost exactly before after Obama’s 2nd debate—but it’s still just beyond maddening how bad this is today. No one is helped by it. Quite the opposite!
