Letter: Democratic candidates should ignore Trump

(Charlie Neibergall | Associated Press file photo) 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, right, speaks to local residents during a house party, Thursday, April 11, 2019, in Des Moines, Iowa.

The myriad Democratic presidential candidates for 2020 is interesting. The spectrum is fascinating and the way in which they will sort themselves out by election time will be telling.

Perhaps the most significant caveat for them is to ignore President Donald Trump’s diatribes. Getting into a semantic battle with him at an early date is counterproductive.

The time for political campaigning is months away.
