That is discouraging to hear. Yet I think it remains on Ted to manage his own messaging, which he is entirely capable of doing. I am hoping to see him pivot toward the media's trivializing the process as so blatantly illustrated in both debates.
And I believe he has the skill to do that w/o appearing to be whining.
With the campaign, thus far, being more about sound and fury than substance, he needs to weigh in with something to compel attention.
Oh certainly - you and I agree on that. I was giving a theory based on some inside baseball information I had, NOT NOT NOT exonerating Ted from this. In fact, there is no excuse for hiring this guy, let alone listening to him. Ted's instincts are FAR BETTER to this guy's instincts.
Then again, this is just a theory. I have not, and never would, say I know it to be a fact. That is, unless I get some inside confirmation - which is possible but not likely.
