Exclusive: Hillary Clinton may delay campaign
Politico ^ | 01/29/2015 | Mike Allen

Posted on 01/29/2015 5:54:21 AM PST by GIdget2004

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 will 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 non-candidate. Why not wait?”

Very interesting. Something tells me that one or both of the following is going on here: (1) she’s got a major health issue, and/or (2) she has no intention of running for the White House anyway.

Is this the best America can do?

Her message is simple to the have nots that want what the haves have but won’t work for it...We will continue the wealth distribution started by Obama.

I cringe everytime she speaks. This is going to be the biggest flop campaign in the history of our nation.

What the hell is Politico talking about? Hillary has been campaigning since Slick Willie left office.

They’re drying to dry her out.

What's to develop? If you like 0bama you'll love Hillary. A "stay the course" campaign should be easy to put together.

After 25 years on the national scene, she’s still trying to develop her message?

“develop her message”?

It’s already developed —

1. “From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.”
2. “Allah Akbar!!”

Why does she bother? Apparently, the US government is run akin to a group of drug lords, all carving out their own territory and doing their own thing.

BTW, now that the furor over Michelle’s bare head in front of Saudi royals has died off, can we ask this:

What did Obama and his 26 minions discuss with SA and give away? Her lack of headcover was a fantastic distraction jumped on by every journochimp.

The plastic surgeon is still on vacation.

The liposuction machine is out for repairs.

She wants to see if Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi investigation makes a difference.

All of the above.

Yes, detox is a slow process. When you add the diet and exercise program, plastic surgery and trying to say two sentences without swearing, she’s still pressed for time.

She's not running, she's earning - millions and millions.

She's going to leave the Dems holding the bag late in the game when she declines to run "for health reasons" (drunk, old and too rich to give a damn).

They're going to throw in the towel and run Warren just to get that over with. Pair with some other sop to the left - maybe Martin O'Malley or Corey Booker if they need some color (beside fake indian).

The Dems’ modern-day General McClellan wants to prepare some more before she launches her campaign. It won’t matter. Her campaign will still be a lumbering, creaking slow-motion disaster.

Why would hope she has a major health issue?
