Feb 2019

I've been tasked with going through my candidate's closet to pick out clothes appropriate for XYZ event. I've also been tasked with doing things like making sure her cell phone was charged.

The campaign trail gets very hectic. Sometimes staff are needed for little things like charging a cell phone (as the candidate might forget to).

Why? Because they don't want to subject themselves to criticism by admitting they do it too. pnwmom Feb 2019 #15

So, if this is the status quo why not just admit it? jalan48 Feb 2019 #17

It's common, not necessarily the status quo, and they don't want to admit it pnwmom Feb 2019 #18

Didn't Reid rebuke Klobuchar for mistreatment of staff? Plus there is a letter dating back to 2006 Quixote1818 Feb 2019 #23

So HuffPo says. MineralMan Feb 2019 #25
