Surely, Surely, with all the $$ we could hire a better spokesman than MOOK?

When Chuck Todd just pressed him on turning over the deleted emails
Mook - just kept repeating a canned, "we are moving on" answer.

Surely, the campaign could get someone else to defend against this constant
question.

Like, "Attorneys performed the analysis of all the emails and determined which were personal and which were State Department related. The personal emails were deleted."

You tell me any person alive - whether working for government or a private citizen who would want all their private emails released to the public? That is insane.

Would Mr Trump release his private emails? No. He won't even release his tax returns or a list of people he claims he donated to.

The right needs to keep the scandals alive. We do not need to play their game.

"Just look away" answer - they are helping to perpetuate the whole thing.

We need some OFFENSE !! some turn the tables. Who in the world
would want all their private emails made public. be OUTRAGED !!! reinforce over and over again that were PRIVATE. Say it for every time Trump mentions 33,000 emails. It's repetitive mind-gaming.

Of course you can disagree 1000% or 1,000,000%.

He is winning the campaign as a campaign manager should.

This is a subject on which he will not freelance with his answer. Everyone on the same page. Campaign discipline.

answering just fine for herself. Who should she put out there as her spokesperson, DWS?
