Hillary Clinton, expecting no major challenge for the Democratic nomination, is strongly considering delaying the formal launch of her presidential campaign until July, three months later than originally planned, top Democrats tell POLITICO.
The delay from the original April target would give her more time to develop her message, policy and organization, without the chaos and spotlight of a public campaign. A Democrat familiar with Clinton’s thinking said: “She doesn’t feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.”
Advisers said the biggest reason for the delay is simple: She feels no rush.
“She doesn’t want to feel pressured by the press to do something before she’s ready,” one adviser said. “She’s better off as a noncandidate. Why not wait?”
A huge advantage to waiting would be that Clinton postpones the time when she goes before the public as a politician rather than as a former secretary of state. Polling by both Democrats and Republicans shows that one of her biggest vulnerabilities is looking political.

Translation: It’s harder to get her cured off the booze than we thought it would be.
Waiting to see what comes from the Benghazi hearings?
On the plus side, everyone across the political spectrum will be equally disgusted with the rigged game.
the work scars are not healing well and she has started heavy drinking again
I wish she’d just delay it until she goes room temp.
She’s a murdering, thieving, lying pig.
Qadaffi was trying to surrender and she wouldn’t allow it. She’s not the goddamn President. She didn’t control the military.
Where did Qadaffi’s fortune go?
These stupid Democrats have royally screwed everything up just so they could line their pockets with gold.
The American Press better get with the program on this before these dipstick Democrats get them killed, too. The dumbass American Press will be sitting there thinking, “Man, the Democrats pay me. How can I go after them?”, and there’ll be a bright flash and they won’t be able to spend the money the Democrats gave them.
I’d like to hear her tell everyone how she thinks her Libya policy (”we came, we saw, he died. Tee-hee”), the one she insisted upon against the advise of the intelligence community, has worked out so far.
What an old bat! And she’s only SEVEN years older than me? Holy crap!
Martin O’Malley, Andrew Cuomo, Bernie Sanders. Front-runners this far out are seldom there at the end.
This is the last facelift and/or cosmetic treatment she’ll be able to get for a long time so its gotta last. She’s putting this off until the very last minute because once the campaign starts, that’s it. There’s no more going back for re-work.
There were obviously other attractions for Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton – the private island in the Caribbean described by former staff as “like a five star hotel where nobody paid”, the pretty girls offering massages, the on-tap chat about theoretical physics.
It will be her slush fund for the rest of her life.

another signal she is not going to run.
The more she is in the public eye the lower her ratings.
That's my guess. Not healthy enough.
