Hillary Clinton is facing questions about her campaign strategy as Donald Trump laps her on the trail and tightening polls show an increasingly competitive presidential race.
The Democratic nominee nearly vanished from the campaign trail in August to attend high-end private fundraisers and to prepare for the first presidential debate on Sept. 26.
At times it has appeared that Clinton believes she can run out the clock against Trump, who fell in the polls after a disastrous stretch following the Democratic convention.
But while Clinton remains the heavy favorite, Trump has rebounded in some national and battleground polls taken in late August. In that time, controversy has exploded over Clinton Foundation ties to the State Department. A steady drip of developments surrounding Clinton’s use of a private email server also persists, punctuated by Friday’s release by the FBI of documents pertaining to its investigation into her email set-up.
Those controversies have dragged Clinton’s already-dismal approval rating to new lows and have kept her from slamming the door shut on Trump.
“It used to look like Clinton should just spend the fall at the International Space Station watching Trump implode, but it raises the question of whether you can disappear from the campaign trail without it having some effect,” said Marquette University pollster Charles Franklin, whose Wisconsin survey found Clinton’s favorability declining across every metric.
Clinton has gone days between events in some cases and hasn’t given a press conference in more than 270 days, a fact that Republicans have been eager to highlight.
The press has badgered Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine and other top surrogates, Vice President Biden among them, about Clinton’s whereabouts and why she has kept such a low profile with the election only two months away....

How do they figure? Polls are tied or Trump leads in some.
Clinton can’t remember that her clock stopped months ago.
All part of the narrative to depress Trump supporters. Even NBC declared that Clinton already has 270 and the race is over.
In the media's minds for the most part.
>while Clinton remains the heavy favorite,
Two reasons for such a retarded decision...those who want her and those that don’t feel Trump is conservative enough.
We are surrounded by retards.
Hillary has to rely on the Ministry of Propaganda for her campaign because she is physically incapable of campaigning.
TIMMAY! is proving to be a dud as a VP choice, he can’t carry her across the finish line.
She’s keeping a low profile, because she can’t handle a really tough campaign. She is the ultimate Low Energy Candidate, having less energy than Jeb. She didn’t show up in Louisiana, didn’t take Mexico up on its invitation to meet with their president, has very few, low attendance rallies, and most of her campaign fundraising events and “organizing events” are actually hosted by others. Even Kaine is seldom seen anywhere.
It will be interesting to see how she handles an aggressive and playing to win Trump, when she can’t even handle her lapdog media and their softball questions.
I don’t think Hillary remembers ‘time run out’...her concussion is really making things impossible for her, she can’t remember a speech, she freezes while giving the speech; she forgets she’s wearing ‘moomoos’ instead of the type of clothes that business women wear, she forgot the make up, she forgot the wig and the comb...
Yeah, I’d say her time is way past ‘OVER’!!!
...and another one bites the dust...
She’s a heavy favorite among the press. The crooked want to elect one of their own.
Don’t forget Hillary is a Democrat so she can hide all she wants and still win , Oh Boy
This is written for the Pundit class in DC, nobody else. That is groupspeak.
Pray America wakes
They figured he would use the power of his one supercharged eyebrow to lift Hillary!'s sagging poll numbers
I’m getting a little suspicious of ‘The Hill’
Less is more when you have high unfavorability. She has the MSM and a “D” behind her name on the ballot. I think she will lay low and hope for Trump gaffes.
Notice how his upper and lower lips are always so tight? A sign of a desperate liar trying to speak very carefully.
Bagdad Bob would be proud.
From now on, much like William Shatner would say “Denny Crane” to punctuate his awesomeness, our new mantra should be “eleven eight landslide”.
