My question would be why is his mom even with him? If he walks in ahead, he looks inconsiderate. And he sure doesn’t want to make every campaign stop pushing her ahead of him.
He just needs to go away. He’s an empty suit and we’re all tired of seeing him.
I hate to post this on an open forum where he might get some advantage from it, but here goes:
If he had a professional staff (instead of folks just wanting to get rich and party off the contributions) they’d pre-position his mother at key stops - maybe one in 3 or 4 to give time for setup - and he would come in, warmly greet her, kiss her on the cheek, and then swing into the shaking and gabbing. In other words, look like a dutiful son that puts mama over the campaign rhetoric. And she could use the extra time before he shows up to go mother-to-mother with some of the women. Then she should watch him as he works the room, displaying a maternal smile.
Instead, you see a selfish son who leaves his elderly mother to slog through the snow without him, and comes across as a spoiled mama’s boy.
