The fact is that Cortez is getting swamped with media right now, far more than her peers. Its at the point where its become a distraction at certain events. Youd think she was running for President for the amount of media coverage shes getting. Theres nothing wrong with sparing the community some of that heat so that they can ask open questions without being the next meme on ABC News.

Too bad, she needs to learn how to deal with it.

Its not about her. Its about the community there asking questions. Its not like she doesnt do interviews and press conferences all the time.

Any socialist is going to be all for freedom of the press. This woman is displaying the opposite attitude.

No, a socialist would do exactly this

I already noted the problem I had with this above, and this kind of thinking is why I believe it is worth while to point this kind of thing out even when the actual decision isn't particularly egregious.

That kind of discretion to manage to who and how you get to deliver your message is, IMO, one the reasons we get the politics and politicians that we have, even with a relatively free and open press.

Thats why it was good that someone blew up Romney's 47% spot. What he said wasn't actually incorrect in the narrow terms he was speaking about it, but its an obviously gauche way of thinking that he would never divulge in general.

Of course I realize the presidency is not a congressional seat and there are lots of other things to be said too but Im not gonna just buy it because she's available for interviews. I sincerely hope her campaign manager was being honest when he said this would not continue to happen.

Apparently no one gets the irony, because people who would be freaking out if Trump did this have no problem with her doing it.

idk what topic you're looking at but ppl itt are giving her plenty of criticism for it

It's honestly a kind of baffling decision. I really don't see what she stands to gain. I mean, maybe the members of said community will see this as a show of support for their community's privacy, but doesn't she already have a pretty significant portion of their support already? Making it public would be the normal way to present herself to the rest of the country. Maybe she's not confident in her ability to answer the communities questions, but that would be a much more fundamental problem that should have cropped up well before now.

I just don't get it.

I mean, I even understand the desire to defend her. Her rationale is very understandable, and she gets attacked unfairly all the time.

I don't go out of my way to attack her, though. I have defended her from critics on the right more than once here.

But given the current political climate it doesn't seem wise to me to let this pass without note. Politicians will behave as badly as we let them.

I just don't get it.


She's way ahead in terms of polling and popularity, but keeps making really embarrassing unforced errors in interview. I wouldn't be surprised if her campaign has decided that her best strategy at this point is to ride the publicity of people talking about her while minimizing the number of people talking to her. If she can ride it out without saying any more stupid things, she has a solid chance of winning, but it's her race to lose if she keeps opening her mouth and inserting her foot.

That's why I don't believe for a second that this is "logistics." She's been caught too many times saying stupid things, and so she's reeling her exposure back in.

Anyone have poll numbers by chance? Not saying the people are wrong who said that, I just am having difficulty finding them.

It's a district that voted like 85% Democrat last election and the GOP candidate seems mainly concerned with getting angry at his family court judge.


Thanks!

That proof is weaker evidence of his affinity for marxism than your numerous posts deflecting criticism and attention away from white supremacists being proof that you're a neo-nazi.

But you're not a neo-nazi, so maybe quit it with the hysterical accusations; especially in the same topic where you missed the mark on who was Thermite.
