Jim notes the illogic of Donald Trump’s campaigning schedule. With that in mind, it is worth pointing out that the Clinton campaign’s focused approach is providing a marked contrast. According to the New York Times, by dialing selectively into the blue areas of swing states — and by appealing to young and minority voters to get out the vote with whom he remains popular — President Obama is playing a key role in maximizing turnout for his party in a year in which the its candidate is a good deal less exciting than he was. Clinton campaign officials told the Times that Obama’s “visits are likely to be concentrated in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Nevada and Iowa” — exactly what the president should be doing to help Clinton get out the vote in November. Your move, Mr. Trump.
