Yeah..for a more conventional candidate it does make sense to limit your media appearances this early. It's hard to sustain your momentum and you increase the opportunity for committing career defining gaffs.

Bernie is basically a radical whose brand is built around flouting conventions. Buttigieg was a candidate from nowhere who basically had to build a brand. Plus he is the first openly gay candidate so he gets some coverage on that which he has been pretty savvy about strategically using. He has preached understanding toward those uncomfortable with homosexuality to make him look moderate while also picking fights with Pence. Plus, it helps him make the case he is a barrier breaking candidate.

So it makes since they are out there all the time while other more conventional candidates are keeping their media powder dry.

To your other point, it would be interesting to see how many offers vs acceptances each candidates gets.

If you want to talk about the 528 people who make up the electoral college, you should have said so, but you didnt. You said "voters"

The voters chose Hillary, the electors chose Trump.

LOL. And, what Trump has, his twitter tirades, temper tantrums, crazy mannerisms, hyperbole, using the same simple phrases over and over is anything resembling charisma? Thanks for the laugh today.
