Hillary Clinton hasn't held a press conference in 180 days. That fact hasn't been lost on reporters who cover her, nor has it escaped the notice of her Republican opponent. "I am getting great credit for my press conference today," Trump tweeted, referring to the Trump Tower fiasco on Tuesday in which he scolded reporters for doing their jobs. "Crooked Hillary should be admonished for not having a press conference in 179 days." Likewise, political reporters have hinted that they'd really, really like Clinton to hold a press conference of her own, if only to counterbalance Trump's.
But Clinton, who's so far confined most of her media appearances to televised interviews, knows public speaking isn't her forte. "This isn't easy for me," she said during a debate in March. "I am not a natural politician, in case you haven't noticed, like my husband or President Obama."

Imagine being a journalist whose instinct is to rationalize politicians' evasions of accountability https://t.co/lNrvou9Iy5— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) June 2, 2016
“I am not a natural politician, in case you haven’t noticed, like my husband”
TRANSLATION: I’m not quick enough on my feet to be able cover for my criminality.
knows public speaking isn’t her forte. “This isn’t easy for me,” she said “ ???
Hmm, then WHY did all those Companies pay you MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to “PUBLICLY SPEAK””
Oh, look! Claire Landsbaum just had elective surgery!
She just got her face sewn to the rear of the Hillary Clinton Human Centipede!
“I am not a natural politician,”
You sure are a natural shyster.
Translation: When you tell as many lies as I do it's really, really hard to keep track of them.
In my best John Bender accent... “Claire!”. Liberals and ugly women are named Claire. She has both covered.
I don’t recall that she gave REAL press conferences when she ran against barry either.
I seem to remember that when Pres. GW Bush had been a few weeks since a press conference the MSM would start going crazy with allegations that he was hiding, avoiding accountability etc.
Get Shrillary’s ass to a press conference every month, at least, and ask her the real questions....
So much for “transparency” and “democratic accountability” according to our DemocRAT and media betters....
But Trump didn’t give any press conferences in 1991 according to an audio tape.
Her public speeches were a one way conversation. And she got paid for it. She won’t get paid for a press conference.
And she is above all that. She is a queen dontchaknow.
So, what is Hillary going to do if she becomes President—not hold any press conferences?
These failed journalists are real pieces of work.
But Clinton, who’s so far confined most of her media appearances to televised interviews, knows public speaking isn’t her forte . . .
For once she tells the truth. Only she left out the part about being terrified of the questions that would surely be asked. Not to mention having to keep all the lies straight in order to give an answer (without slitting her own throat live on tv.)
If she speaks without a script she gets into trouble because they talk a long time to use words that won't incriminate them.
It’s really sad...no, it’s really BAD, that there are millions of people who will lap up Claire Landsbaum’s propaganda. And that’s why our country is such a mess; not because of criminals like Hillary Clinton. It’s because they have a willing propaganda complex that services them, and a foolish public that votes her into office.
Hmm, then WHY did all those Companies pay you MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to “PUBLICLY SPEAK””
Good point but in those instances she is guaranteed not to be asked any questions.....
there will be only 15 questions permitted
8 will get a cackle response
3 will get a 15 minute response that will provide 0 information
2 will be declared sexist
2 will get a can’t respond during the law suit
1 will result in an emotional melt down as she speaks of being a grandmother
They won’t do it because everyone in the MSM knows what a potential PR disaster it would be with Hillary in a press conference.
TRANSLATION: "I don't want to answer tough, legitimate questions that aren't provided to me in advance. I will, however, participate in a carefully staged, carefully scripted "Informal chat" with a few hand selected "orindnary citizens" who just happen to be long time Democrat campaign workers and supporters of mine."
“...scolded reporters for doing their jobs.”
Actually, he called them out for lying and shilling for the Democrats. You know, like you’re doing in this article.
