Hillary Clinton, rarely seen, rarely heard
The Politico ^ | September 3, 2016 | Annie Karni

Posted on 09/03/2016 8:56:41 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Democrat lets reporters trail her but tucks them away to keep them out of sight and herself out of reach.

Hillary Clinton has never felt comfortable with the traveling political press.

As first lady, she would sometimes arrange travel for herself and Chelsea separate from her husband, partly to avoid the protective pool of reporters assigned to the president. In 2008, she “fought tooth and nail,” former aides said, to avoid sharing the plane with her press corps and relented only when her campaign was running out of money and had to either bring the reporters on board or downgrade to commercial.

And in 2016, with plenty of cash and a winning position in the race, Clinton has managed to keep the press at arm’s length – preserving her private plane as a refuge where the only people around are her trusted campaign aides.

That changes on Labor Day, when the reporters and their press-leery candidate will for the first time board a “Stronger Together”-wrapped 737 from New York to Ohio to Iowa, and remain flying companions for the final stretch of the campaign....

“Press-leary”???????

No press conferences AT ALL for 290 days!
No campaign events in public!
Pre-packaged, on-TV one-on-one cozy interviews with a fawning and adoring self-selected anchors?

And thsipolitico writer STILL writes an “adoring” and “adorable” “look at how cute she is! (for wanting her privacy, right?) as she has “campaigned for this since 1992.

This half corpse Hitlery thinks she is Franklin Roosevelt in his fourth term? When Pres. Roosevelt was re elected half dead to a term in the presidency that the founder of our country never contemplated, at least he was already President and a very competent war leader. Hillary is just a media propped up entity who thinks she is entitled to the presidency. It is every annoying to contemplate.

A Hobson's choice, indeed.

“the protective pool of reporters”

That is not a Freudian slip. That is the writer describing reality as he sees it.

Something is wrong with Hillary. I guess it is a combination of factors. She is a coward. She has health problems. She is a puppet whose strings are pulled by Human, Soros, or others and there a glitches with the programming. She knows her agenda would cost her votes. She has a lot to hide that includes high level of corruption.

From the caption of the picture at the source:

Trailing Hillary Clinton since she has become the Democratic nominee has been less about developing a relationship with the candidate and more like a sensory deprivation experience.

Sounds like a plea: Hillary, don’t you know we are on your side? Give us something to work with!

Does she really want to win? Is her whole purpose to bait someone, now Trump, to take on rough times in the U.S.?

Do the Dems KNOW she is going to win because they plan to cheat enormously?

reminds me of the old slogan: Children should be seen but NOT heard.

The speed with which her health is declining, is shown by the fact that she ran a real campaign against Bernie earlier in the year.

So if she has another seizure while she’s among her reporters, will ANY of them actually record it / report it??

Or will it just be quietly buried so the public never knows the truth?

Make's ya' want to barf doesn't it?

Trump needs to make time at every rally to question where his opponent is? No one's seen her. Maybe she's napping? But we're in the middle of an important presidential campaign and she seems retired already. What's up with that? Why won't she come out of hiding? Maybe we'll see her at the debates. Who knows?

Or some other facsimile along those lines. Remember the Wendy's TV commercials three decades ago, "Where's the Beef?" ?

Trump's new line ought to be, "Where's the hilLIARy?".

It seems pretty clear that Hillary’s intelligence is rapidly declining. Even with the mafia of hers trying to hide this decline it’s pretty clear.
