In only the second day on the general campaign trail, Clinton-Kaine are already cancelling appearances in key battleground states.
CLEVELAND – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her running mate Tim Kaine will no longer be visiting Cleveland on Sunday.
Clinton’s campaign tells Fox 8 that the event was canceled due to time constraints. The pair will still be stopping in Youngstown on Saturday night before heading to Columbus on Sunday. (read more)
The event cancelled was originally billed as: “Cleveland Manufacturing Event” scheduled for: 12:00 p.m. EDT, Sunday, July 31 Where: APOC (A Piece of Cleveland), 1310 E 49th Street, Cleveland, OH 44114
Yesterday, in Johnstown Pennsylvania the Clinton-Kaine rally could only attract a few dozen, heavily vetted/controlled, supporters. The Clinton-Kaine campaign have kicked off their general election efforts by traveling via buses through Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Some, given the history of how the Clinton campaign deliver misleading information, may speculate the Cleveland cancellations was due to lack of interest, ie. bad optics. Perhaps this is a possibility.
However, there’s a very solid argument to be made that Hillary Clinton is not physically healthy enough for the rigors of general election campaigning. It is entirely possible the decision to use large buses for travel is more attached to her health condition.
Time will tell.
Oh you gotta hit Ytown the armpit of the nation.
I have news, they are wise to you.
Obama and Biden hit Ytown heavily, they made a million promises, they delivered nothing.
Low on energy, I guess.
This boggles my mind. Crazy Bernie filled arenas, while Hillary could barely fill a high school gym...yet she won?!?!? Its almost as if her ‘supporters’ can’t stand to hear her speak.
Excellent point.
Hillary will have to pay for more rent-a-mobs.
Trump needs to compare that to his rallys
Cuyahoga County is NOT going to go GOP.
Was there an ambulance trailing the bus?
I’m guessing the bus IS a fully-equipped ambulance.
It would be an opportunity for fun and profits for some Trump or Bernie fans.
I was in Cleveland yesterday. It was the city "thank you" celebration for residents. It was joyous, safe, and a diverse array of locals were enjoying the police presence. There's a lot of admiration that Trump "showed respect" by calling the police chief after the convention and thanking him. Law and order is actually quite important here. Folks are very proud that we aren't Baltimore, Detroit, or Ferguson.
Then there's the Slovenian population that LOVES Melania.
Just a hunch. I'm not sure this is Clinton Country in the numbers they need.
Most of these people no doubt media.
Cuyahoga is pretty Conservative, Ytown is a deep mix that leans Dem, They think the mills will come back.
Pittsburgh is a similar thing
Bernie’s minions were very passionate about their cause. Hillary’s minions are robotic. When trying to have a conversation with them, they are filled with canned responses that often have nothing do do with the questions being asked. Unfortunately, I think HIllary’s robot minions will vote for her no matter what she does or says. She could burn puppies alive on live TV and they would still vote for her, even the dead ones.
Read my #13. It doesn’t have to. Trump can cut into the majority here, by a lot.
Ha! This is rich.
Johnstown is the home and stronghold of the deceased Dem John Murtha and Hilliary could only draw a few dozen people.
