Hillary Clinton Sets Record, Longest Presidential Candidate To Dodge National Press
Breitbart ^ | 4/27/15 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 04/27/2015 5:56:44 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton holds a dubious record: she’s gone longer than any presidential candidate in modern history without appearing on a national television news network or conducting a sit down interview with national media.

Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, announced she would run for president via a recorded two-minute video message on Twitter Sunday April 12th. Following the announcement, Clinton dashed off to Iowa in her “Scooby” van without giving any time to the national press, and very little time – if any – to local reporters.

It seems to me that the GOP strategery would be to let her continue with no criticism or deep oppo research, if she really is that much of a trainwreck. Don’t start the dredging of scandals and transparency until two months before the campaign, if you want to win.

Is GOP trying to eliminate her now so that someone they can’t beat will declare?

Right -The GOP should ‘keep their powder dry’ until the day before she has to debate Ted Cruz on national media... then HE can deliver the broadside, she so richly deserves! :)

I almost prefer underplaying the scandals until after she gets the nomination.
Except that did not work with B0stevedunhambarrysoebarkahbathhousebarryhusseinsoetoro. The R candidates tore each other apart in the primaries but never had any fight to go against the D.

The press never laid a glove on B0. And R “play nice” candidates never raised issues that demanded attention.
Even worse, the press acted like a ring of musk oxen to prevent any disclosures, while others viciously attacked anyone who did raise inconsistencies with the narrative.

Even now, I am amazed and appalled by how little the average voter knows, or cares to know, about the president. Same thing with Clintons.

Let’s see now:

She announced her candidacy by twitter, flew into Iowa on a gulfstream, has the scooby mobile waiting for her with a detail of 6 SS guards, had paid staff from the DNC as her “Simple Iowan followers”, she avoided the press somewhat in Iowa while no one recognized her there, she has been running from the fund issue, the server issue, the no transparency issue, and has no platform or policies established. It seems that the only thing she’s running on is her husbands last name, and the MSNBC/ABC/CNN/MediaMatters/ThinkProgress people are starting to realize they’ve been fooled about her. Now the tax issue and the donor issue with the fund is rising like the tide, the issue with the inferior HIV drugs the Clinton fund was putting out from India, the tiny portion that actually went to charity out of the fund, etc are rising like the sun on a hot august Arizona morning, blazing out the heat of the scandals Hillary has created

Americans who care about America need to continue shining the light on these leftist cockroaches. The state-controlled “media” sure isn’t going to do it.

After this fiasco a year ago - and not being able to improve on this all around the mulberry bush saying nothing - she isn’t going to risk it.

What the press - ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, PBS, and the New York Times, Washington Post, and LA Times will buy from a democrat:

1.That the accusations are “old news.”

2.That the accusers are funded by right-wing conspiracists.

3.That everyone does what the Clintons did.

4.That the media pick on the Clintons.

5.That there is no hard evidence (because they have destroyed documents) that would ever lead to a criminal case. And:

6.That they are moving on, to work on behalf of the folks.

She will be out of the race in 3 months.
