about Democrats finding someone to do a "daily press conference" (they mentioned Buttigieg but it could be anyone) - and in that case, they need to stop relying on mainly the House and Senate Minority Leaders' pressers (which do happen but only occasionally get reported on by anyone beyond CSPAN and Roll Call).

And IMHO, they should continue to do it even if no media shows up (record it and post it yourself) and eventually someone might do it. It would be a "Standing Press Conference" and if Reps/Senators want to chime in with their own updates to include in the speaking agenda, then the more the better.

It could even be done at the same time that 45's loon Press Secretary is giving her presser, which could provide an alternative that is actually based in reality and presents FACTS. Since AP has been kicked out of 45's looneyverse, they should be invited to OUR info sessions.

We don't seem to want to give ideas time to "catch on". The GOP spent DECADES getting where they are today.
