Campaigning is seperate from governing. He governed less.
Not me. As I said, all presidents start looking toward reelection on Inauguration Day or sooner. No reason to think Trump would be different.JonNC:
Thank you.Yes, it is different
More curious was the reluctance to own it.But since it is Trump, it is easy to see why some reject would reject the virtue of it.
The Democrats certainly didn’t need them. They had the DNC media every evening on the news doing it for them. Reagan went around them with his radio and tv addresses. Elder Bush naively thought he’d get a fair shake, and W was fortunate enough to run against Kerry.None of those president’s held televised campaign rallys in their first and second year. None.
As I said
None of the Presidents mentioned formed reelection committees on their inauguration day.Obama did the same. So did “W”, and Clinton. FDR did it 3 times.
Do you think that means they weren’t thinking out, keeping one eye on re-election?None of the Presidents mentioned formed reelection committees on their inauguration day.
Are you defending the communist Chinese?I thought the buck would never stop with him and I was right. There must be someone else to blame for everything
No. neother did hey set up a scheme for fund raising and campaigning.Do you think that means they weren’t thinking out, keeping one eye on re-election?
Trump’s campaigning has never interfered with his governing.Campaigning is seperate from governing. He governed less.
Please explain why this bothers you so much?JonNC:

I have said no such thing, nor does it have any relevance. The party is a different organization than the candidates campaign.So you are saying the democrat party never sent letters to registered democrats asking for money until it was time for re-election?
I have said no such thing, nor does it have any relevance. The party is a different organization than the candidates campaign.The party still raises money for the candidates. And you are saying there were no letters sent out to democrats asking for money for Obama?
There was no re-election campaign started at inauguration day for presidents apart from Trump.So the campaign could have been raising money
Please explain why this is a problem.7_Sorrows:

What promoted me to post, as I noted several posts ago, was the suggestion that Trump was not doing anything that other presidents had not done.Please explain why this is a problem.
I rarely had the sense that President Obama was working on my behalf. His policies increased my healthcare costs, decreased my healthcare rights and those of tens of millions of Americans, imposed regulations that required people of faith to contribute to practices their religious faith opposes.Beyond this, the problem of eternal campaign include the drifiting into Hatch ACT violations by the WH and the further deterioration of whatever sense id left that the POTUS works for justly on behalf of all Americans, not just those who vote for him. This deterioration hampers his leadership in a crisis - like the pandemic where he seems to favor some states over others,
