Disagree. The jackels in the press and their allies are already doing that for *everything* she says. If she actually took on Obama where it hurts, she would regain the support of the people (like me) who are starting to get very excited about Trump. I dont think letting the press define your platform works out very well.

I don't know your background, but here's a little of mine: I worked (as a minor spear carrier) in both the Carter and Reagan White House, while in Army intelligence and later worked in a presidential campaign, in Iowa. It's unbelievable the control the media has over the messaging and the meme of day-to-day and campaign issues. For example: President Nixon had the biggest win in history over Senator McGovern in 1972 and was hounded from office two years later. That was the press. Yes, he did some things wrong, but compared to LBJ, JFK or FDR, they were Sunday School shenanigans.
