Full Title: Hillary Clinton delays online launch of presidential campaign for hours to 'build anticipation' and will hit the trail quietly in Iowa

Announcement to come via Twitter and an online video

Was expected at noon but party insiders now say the suspense is intentional

Hillary will start her 'listening tour' in Iowa and New Hampshire without huge fanfare

Wunderkind campaign manager, 35, was a child when she was first lady and didn't live through her defining White House scandals

Tough road ahead fighting with other Democrats as her poll numbers begin to slide and liberals question whether she's 'inevitable'

Hillary Rodham Clinton was expected to launch her long-awaited presidential campaign on Sunday during the hours of the day when she could expect the least immediate pushback – while most Americans were in church.

The campaign's internal schedule had called for a 12:00 noon tweet linked to a video revealing the worst-kept secret in America to more than 3 million online followers.

But shortly after noon, Democrat operatives in Iowa began telling reporters that there would be a delay. 'She's taking her time,' one told Daily Mail Online, 'trying to build anticipation.'

Since she is announcing while airborne, she wants to her announcement to coincide with her descent from the heavens.

Like the opening scene of "Triumph of the Will?"

Overheard at Hillary headquarters: “Oh damn, black coffee! More black coffee!”

In fact, Hitler was the one who invented the concept of arriving late to build up anticipation.

The only “anticipation” I constantly entertain concerning old piano legs is how soon we will be totally rid of the ****h.

Kinda funny, but much more antagonistic than any previous depiction of a Democrat candidate.

#2 Who the hell is sitting around on Twitter waiting for this?

Several million "bots" waiting to be activated by her commissars.

"THE WITCH IS IN THE AIR. LAUNCH ALL BOTS COMRADES!"

There’s baseball on everywhere. The Masters is in its final day. There are NBA games on. The weather appears gorgeous nationwide, especially in the recently defrosted North East. Hildabeast should have waited till tomorrow. Oh wait Rubio announces then. Well maybe after five pm this Friday.

Remember 2008 when again every one thought Hillary had the nomination until an obscure inexperienced Senator from Illinois got into the race? Hillary is a weak candidate and must ride Bill’s coat tails. I do not think she will get the nomination

“Triumph Of The Hill.”

Excellent. It would probably be disturbingly easy to parody “Triumph Of The Will.”

She’s doing another listening tour? When does the hearing or learning tour begin?

I guess she has the same computer staff that Obama had when they tried to launch Obama Care sign-ups.

Plane descending from the clouds but as the fog clears, NO adoring crowds awaiting her grand entry into Iowa.

'She's taking her time,' one told Daily Mail Online, 'trying to build anticipation.'

There was so much ridicule of the idea of launching her run via the Internet that her advisers have told her to take some different approach. They're still trying to figure out which approach might be most effective... it'll probably be some prime-time speech on the boob-tube.
