2. As someone who has been in the newspaper biz

I worked in the newspaper business over three decades, though not as a political reporter. (I personally know people who are political reporters, though.) I did, however, write and edit stories during my career (and still write now).

Here's my take: Walking out is OK, but it really doesn't accomplish that much, in my view. Writing and exposing him is what's important. As soon as you don't, some of his allies (aka Fox News) will take up the gap. In my view, Fox (and idiots like Hannity and fake judge Pirro) comprise the biggest danger to this nation that we have outside of Trump.

But we need to keep the information flowing. I wish the walkout thing would accomplish something meaningful. But it won't. That won't shut Donald up.
