My advice to the President is to discontinue the practice. Dont repkace Sanders with anybody.
My advice to the First Lady is to her her go concentrate on the president’s press secretary needs. A far bigger and more challenging job than that for the FL—and she ought to be able to go focus on it.
Go back to what worked: special invitations to a handful of reporters (no more than 5), five minutes of questions/answers, and the president was not to be quoted without permission or peril.
Oh, how the heads would explode!
