10. Better to get this stuff out now rather than in October of 2020.

It can be debunked or at least become old and uninteresting news by the time the primaries heat up if it's handled correctly now. I'm sure that as all the others, male or female, become official candidates, whatever skeletons they have or are claimed to have in their closets will be brought out too. That's politics. I'd rather have them vetted and proctoscoped now than later. I really don't think Warren's ancestry claims or Klobuchar's personnel management problems will be deciding factors once all 30 candidates or however many there will be are out campaigning. We probably won't even be able to keep track of which "scandal" belongs to whom.

Wouldn't it have been better if somebody had discovered Northam's yearbook photo before he ran for governor?
