      Replace “Intricacy” with ridiculously simplifying Presidential campaign history, leaving out decades worth of candidates/Presidents who did personally campaign, and cherry picking partisan news articles that were attacking the candidate they disliked not focusing solely on campaign practice. Crazy how an underpaid journalist would get almost everything wrong when rushed to churn out pReCiOuS CoNtEnT.
