On one hand, I agree with going back and send a letter.
On the other hand, in an era of real time media, I would find it difficult for a POTUS of either party to pass up the opportunity because of its political advantages. We got to see clearly that the sore loser demonkraps looked so unhappy and really have nothing of substance to offer to the American people. But for gerrymandered districts, many of them wouldn’t be there.
It's become nothing but a pitch to the Presidential base. Trump could do better at one of his rallies.
