I can call a press conference to trash Trump but no one would care. If Those guys call a press conference, or do an interview with a local tv station, and in it use the incendiary language appropriate to this election, that makes the news.

I’ve heard it said that legislators in the house and senate are forced to use half their time raising funds. So it’s not that they don’t have time.
