I love her doing it right now, but if she becomes POTUS/CinC, I will bet she will understand that reality. She is a decent enough person to realize the difference once POTUS (not like the person we have in office right now).
Now with that said regarding a sitting POTUS. There is no doubt the PR side of the GWB WH was awful at taking on the MSM from 05/08 once Karen Hughes left.
Is the current occupant of that office acting presidential? We either fight fire with fire or get beat like a rented mule. It’s not 1976 anymore.
