Dickerson: There’s More Shenanigans with Campaign Launches than Ever Before

‘Campaigns want to milk the exposure they get from multiple announcements so that they can create drama, excitement and bumps in the polls’

DICKERSON: "Tomorrow Jeb Bush is officially announcing he’s running for president, too. But he’s actually been campaigning for so long, some 44 campaign events in 17 states already this year by our count, that we’re now hearing about a staff shake-up in his campaign. So Bush is in the middle of a do-over of something that hasn’t even started. Officially, that is. There have been more shenanigans with campaign launches in this campaign than ever before. And there are two reasons for that. The first is stage management. Campaigns want to milk the exposure they get from multiple announcements so that they can create drama, excitement and bumps in the polls."
