President Donald Trump is an around-the-clock, all-consuming presence in American politics. He is one reason the contest is drawing so many Democratic contenders. Yet the word Trump often goes unspoken on the campaign trail."We have got to understand this is not about him, it's about us," Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey told voters here during a weekend South Carolina visit, where he spoke for more than an hour without so much as a mere mention of the name Trump.
John Hickenlooper, who formally jumped into the race on Monday, told voters on a recent trip to Iowa that"talking about Trump a lot is a waste of time.""I recognize the gratification: When people are really angry, talking about Trump somehow is a release," Hickenlooper said."But it's not solving the problem, right? If anything, it's playing into his hands.
