    You say he was not a journalist, but we’ve never seen good evidence of this. At worst, he was a bad journalist.

    Anyway, maybe Democratic presidents and candidates could have considered the impact of their actions on his life. Did they think he would be sympathetic to them, after all they did or failed to do? This is common sense.

      Never said he wasn’t a journalist, just that some of his correspondence with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election was not journalistic behavior. I don’t think it’s the singular reason Hillary lost the election, but it did negatively affect the campaign and helped Trump.
