There are hours of candidate videos in a variety of cattle calls, Q&A interviews, and forums that, minute per minute, have far more information than any of these celebrinewstard gotcha shows will offer.
Heck, in Iowa you can hardly get a coffee or go to the state fair horse barn without running into one (except Jeb and Hillary) that you can talk to yourself.
Not once have I ever met a presidential candidate. Living here in ND, I doubt I ever will. Doesn’t matter tho because meeting one isn’t all that important to me. (unless it’s Sarah Palin)
