She has an ass as wide as two ax handles. I agree with the “heavy” adjective.

In the polls Hillary and her team believes, she is winning by a lot. That’s sufficient for them to decide to run out the clock, and I like that strategy.

Hillary’s staff knows that she is exceptionally unlikable, so hiding in the dark appeals to them, but I like it for a different reason. The good part is it prevents her from trying other strategies, since she thinks she doesn’t need to take any risks. If her lead is an illusion, that means she’s accepting a losing status quo.

Bingo. Hillary is a poor campaigner for large crowds. They tried small venues; these were so poorly attended, with optics so bad, that they had to photoshop crowds into the pics. Given this and their fear of a “health” incident, the campaign decided to focus on raising money for attack ads to drive up Trump’s negatives. She has no positives.

The OLL' prevent defense. I have watched TOO many Pro football teams with a two or three touchdown lead at the half do this to only loose the game. Sometimes by as many as two touchdowns.

The KC Chiefs where famous for doing that.

“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.”

Here’s just another example of the countless worthless BS articles put out by the lying MSM that somehow believes that any lie, repeated often enough, will become accepted “truth”. The claim that Trump was ever behind Clinton at any time before, during, or after the farcical Marxocrat convention is now, was before, and always has been absolute, pure, unadulterated bullshiite and must be rejected now, then, and forevermore. What will it take to wake people up to the truth about the lying, deceitful, treacherous media?

She’s not running out the clock, she’s getting an infusion of Baby Blood so she can continue to live. Like in Snow White.

At this point in time the Democrats are screwed. Most states have a cutoff date by which all names must be ready for the fall ballots. If Hillary drops out they will have to run a write in candidate in many states.

“Blah, blah, blah...this will be a freak I disaster.”

You are absolutely, utterly, and totally delusional.

Clinton as the nation's conscience...
I was waiting for the punchline, because it would be a total howler if she wasn't serious.

Yeah, it’s like Marty Schottenheimer is her campaign strategist.

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.

There will be no direct debate. They'll both appear back to back w/o being together at the same time. Check out the story below:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/18/clinton-trump-agree-to-square-off-at-a-commander-in-chief-forum-next-month/

This is clearly cheating!

This is sort of a pre-trial debate. Remember in 2008, 0bama and McCain went to that megachurch in CA, and each was questioned separately for 30 minutes or so. This is where 0bama came up with his famous “above my pay-grade” comment abortion.

I think this forum will be a good one for Trump. He’s popular with the military and veterans, and is good with national security, defense and veterans issues. Clinton, not so much.

I don't remember that one. I am worried Killary will find a way to con her way out of a debate. Are all the moderators #NeverTrump morons? To quote Star Wars: "It's a trap!"
