2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHonestly, I Don't Know Where Any Of These Candidates Find The Energy
It's exhausting watching it on TV. How do the candidates - D or R - find the energy to do the rallies, the TV shows, the appearances in small venues, the hopping from one state to another on a daily basis?
I mean, both Hill and Bernie were out of NV within hours of the caucus ending, making appearances in other states the same day. And these are people who aren't exactly spring chickens. And they're never allowd to have a day off. One bad appearance or sign of fatigue and they're crucified on social media forever.
It's sort of amazing and inspiring when you stop and think about it.

They do not just show up and talk. Every waking moment they spend being engaged with their campaign, whether it is meeting with their staff to discuss strategy, trying to keep up with the media cycle and statements from other candidates, etc..
