Running out the clock is a term often applied to the Clinton campaign as Election Day appears on the horizon, now only 68 days away. And with a lead in the RealClearPolitics average of polls once at an almost-insurmountable 7.9 points on Aug. 9, playing not to lose perfectly taps into Clinton's best strength.
But some funny things have happened in the past three weeks, including this one: From a media optics perspective, Donald Trump is winning each of those weeks since that low point of his candidacy earlier in the month of August. And he's doing it with basic hustle over his opponent....

I seriously doubt whether Hillary can even get out of her sickbed.
Trump has the ball. Hillary has the pickles. And she has Huma.
So, when will they start calling Trump the "comeback kid?"
I saw a video once of an event where Bill Clinton was speaking to a group of college students. It was either in his last year in office, or in the months immediately after the end of his term as President.
In answer to a question from the audience, Bill Clinton said "sometimes you win by just being the last person standing."
Better description: Trump is playing Grandmaster level chess. Hillary Clinton is playing tiddlywinks. And the Clinton campaign ends up “feeding the troll” way too many times with disastrous results. We may be seeing a Dukakis-style quick fade by Hillary very soon.
TRUMP is a BATTERING RAM! He’s killing it out there. He is going to make the opposition BREAK, sooner or later, because HE.WILL.NOT.STOP!!
He runs his race as if Hillary were out there all day long and yards ahead of him. But she isn’t out there. She is bed or seated at a fundraiser because she can not stand up, or conjugate, at all.
It’s a mirage being painted by the media that she is running at all.
TRUMP is going to race every day, all day long, until these polls turn to ash.
Patton is going to win, despite the espionage and treachery of the Cruz, Beckers and Levin’s out there, all singing the praises of the lemming, Amanda Carpenter.
Hillary is in prevent defense.
Hillary can’t run the clock because she can’t run. Period.
...and Trump has our wall to build and 10s of millions of illegal aliens to kick out.
Hillary wants to play a Casey (those from PA know what I am talking about)...
She knows the more she’s seen the less she’s liked and lower she polls, but ain’t going to work.
Meanwhile, as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches....we know ILLary wants to not just continue, but INCREASE the number of dangerous ME *refugees* coming in to our country.....
A very good analysis of, “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach administrate.”
Trump gets in his plane and does it. He doesn’t need weeks of research, opinion polling, staffing it out, or smelling salts and medication to be able to get out of bed. While Cankles is making speeches to private organizations instead of “public”, appearances, Trump is in three places seemingly at once. For Hillary to show up anywhere requires weeks of planning and making sure the press in with her in pull-toy fashion, Trump makes it happen NOW and the press had better find a way to show up, and if they don’t, he still makes it happen.
Trump meets the Mexican Il Presidente on less than 36 hours’ notice, Hillary manages a two sentence “statement”.
I was told eons ago that someone saying that something can’t be done should never allow themselves to be interrupted be someone actually doing it. Hilary issues a lot of statements, and Trump just does it. It’s the epitome of “administrate”. America needs leaders, not commentators. Hillary still hasn’t visited New Orleans, 20 days after the face. Trump was all over it to the point that the sitting president had to catch up. Hillary Clinton has jet aircraft standing by and doing nothing, Trump has to pay for his and the thing is getting wrung OUT with all the travel he’s doing!
Trump is doing exactly one thing: BEING PRESIDENTIAL. Or, more accurately, BEING PRESIDENT. Hillary is doing one thing: Making statements of how wrong Trump is. And that’s the difference between them. The quarterback or the lout at home in his easy chair berating the QB.
The millenials are starting to wake up. The blacks are realizing that the same path will lead down the same road that’s gotten them where they are.
Hillary will be woken up by her handlers on November 9th and told she lost and lost huge. Followed by the handler’s resignation. The campaign is over, and Hillary is left with huge debts, no gig, a “foundation” that’s been found out and the rest of her life to sleep 18 hours a day and badmouth others, and nothing else.
Well, except Huma.
And one wonders how long she’ll be hanging around when Hillary no longer has any way to pay for her services. Huma, jobless and without her Weiner, will be lucky to get hired by CNN to bash Trump for the next eight years.
"I seriously doubt whether Hillary can even get out of her sickbed."
We'll know just how sick and carefully managed she really is if the media start with dropping opinion pieces full of reasons why she shouldn't "lower herself" to debate with Trump. Something I think there's a 50/50 chance of happening in the next week or two.
JMHo
And Huma doesn't have a Weiner.
oh crap....that was good
I read where he was walking around crowds asking people if they wanted his Weiner!
Oh, wait, that was at the Cubs game.
Hillary has a lot of issues:
Hillary Has to Answer These 25 Questions Under Oath By Sept. 29
By the end of September, Hillary Clinton will have to answer – under oath – some very interesting questions about her use – and abuse – of a private email server while Secretary of State.
“Trump has the ball and Hillary can’t run out the clock”
Very good description of what’s happening.
