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?”

more time to develop her message, policy and organization???

She has been campaigning since at least from 1992
Maybe the plastic surgery did not go well? Or the democrat party finally has had enough of the clintons?

I’m wondering if her fundraising is lagging and she doesn’t want to spend money yet.

She is running.
Her plan is to pretend not to so her Sugar Daddies throw more $$$ at her to try and keep her in the race.

Strippers do the same thing.

" BOOK: HILLARY HAS BAD HEART
Sun Jun 22 2014 18:01:30 ET
*Exclusive**

A new provocative work by bestselling author Ed Klein claims Hillary Clinton's health problems are much more severe than she has publicly revealed!

"She had managed to keep her medical history secret out of fear that, should it become public, it would disqualify her from becoming president," writes Klein in BLOOD FEUD.

BLOOD FEUD hits the street this week [it ranked #89 on AMAZON Sunday afternoon.]

Page 193

The true story of what happened to Hillary, which is being recounted in these pages for the first time, was radically different from Reines’s version.

To begin with, Hillary fainted while she was working in her seventh-floor office at the State Department, not at home, as Reines told the media. She was treated at the State Department’s infirmary and then, at her own insistence, taken to Whitehaven to recover. However, as soon as Bill appeared on the scene and was able to assess Hillary’s condition for himself, he ordered that she be immediately flown to New York–Presbyterian Hospital in the Fort Washington section of Manhattan. When Reines subsequently released a statement confirming that Hillary was being treated at the hospital over the New Year’s holiday, it naturally intensified speculation about the seriousness of her medical condition.

While she was at the hospital, doctors diagnosed Hillary with several problems.

She had a right transverse venous thrombosis, or a blood clot between her brain and skull. She had developed the clot in one of the veins that drains blood from the brain to the heart. The doctors explained that blood stagnates when you spend a lot of time on airplanes, and Hillary had clocked countless hours flying around the world.

To make matters worse, it turned out that Hillary had an intrinsic tendency to form clots and faint. In addition to the fainting spell she suffered in Buffalo a few years before, she had fainted boarding her plane in Yemen, fallen and fractured her elbow in 2009, and suffered other unspecified fainting episodes. Several years earlier, she had developed a clot in her leg and was put on anticoagulant therapy by her doctor. However, she had foolishly stopped taking her anticoagulant medicine, which might have explained the most recent thrombotic event.

“The unique thing about clotting in the brain is that it could have transformed into a stroke,” said a cardiac specialist with knowledge of Hillary’s condition.

Page 195

According to a source close to Hillary, a thorough medical examination revealed that Hillary’s tendency to form clots was the least of her problems. She also suffered from a thyroid condition, which was common among women of her age, and her fainting spells indicated there was an underlying heart problem as well. A cardiac stress test indicated that her heart rhythm and heart valves were not normal. Put into layman’s language, her heart valves were not pumping in a steady way.

When the author attempted to contact the Clintons’ cardiologist, Dr. Allan Schwartz, he refused to comment, which made it impossible to determine the exact nature of Hillary’s medical status or its long-term significance. However, sources who dis- cussed Hillary’s medical condition with her were told that Hillary’s doctors considered performing valve-replacement surgery. They ultimately decided against it. Still, before they released Hillary from the hospital, they warned Bill Clinton: “She has to be carefully monitored for the rest of her life.”

I still will be surprised if she ran. She has been out of the limelight for a couple of months, so she may be getting some things done to attempt to recapture some of your youthful appearance.

They could also be working behind the scenes to draft whom they would like to run and get things set up for that. So is the Obama wing, so it will be an epic struggle.

I believe they are just trying to keep her away from the news because it is obvious she doesn’t have a clue. At this point what does matter anyway?
The people who will vote for her won’t change their minds and the rest might if she puts her foot in her mouth again.

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.

or (3) She is hoping the Sex Fiend Island scandal blows away by then.

She’s going to run third party, or as the Clintons call it “Third Way” or “Triangulation”.

She’s going to run against both Obama’s radical left and the republican radical right and present herself as a moderate running on Bill Clinton’s “moderate” coattails.

Chemo and radiation take a while. If she is sporting a ‘daring and chic’ ultra short new hairdo when she reappears, we’ll know for sure.

or (3) she’s going to wait to see if she can get past the Benghazi hearings with minimal damage.

A total face lift takes a long time to recover from. You look like someone else for months afterward. You don’t automatically turn into your young self immediately.

I am sorry to say I believe that this is all wishful thinking. She can delay because no one is running against her on the Democrat side. She is the front runner without spending ANY money. The longer she can stay behind the curtain, the better for her. When she announces, she actually has to present some kind of so called platform and message. Then she opens herself up to attacks.

A Hillary presidency will be like the third term of obozo thus continuing his destruction of America. They are both Alinski worshipers. It's perplexing why so many Americans support such liars and criminals, unless of course they too are liars and criminals.

Be real....she's not getting funding and/or party backing. Don't forget, they scre*** her over royally with Obama.

The Dems are going to pull someone out of their ..... again, just like they did with Obama.

Translation: Hillary is getting overexposed so she needs to pull back to develop some "mystery".

Plus...She's got to also work hard behind the scenes to fix some things i.e. Benghazi, the rivalry between the Obama people and her people, how to reconcile the mega donors and the platform she's running of the disparity between rich and poor.

Everytime she gets on her soapbox people don't like her so she'll hide for awhile.
