"Mrs. Clinton … may I have a word?"
Posted on 07/06/2015 10:17:02 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Hillary Clinton has decided to make herself more available to the media and will begin doing national television interviews in the next week.
She reached this decision after an internal debate and the move is supported by many top campaign officials, along with her husband, Clinton insiders say.
“She’s all on board,” Jennifer Palmieri, the campaign’s communications director, told me in an interview. “America will see more of her.”
Palmieri played down the notion that the interviews, along with plans to take more questions from reporters on the trail, amount to a risky strategy. “She does fine,” Palmieri says. “That was not a concern.”
The danger, Clinton insiders tell me, is that in today’s Twitter culture, a single misstep or badly chosen phrase can be taken out of context and go viral, drowning out anything else that Clinton is saying. They are also worried that some reporters, given Hillary’s global fame, might try to boost themselves by creating a “gotcha” moment.
But a consensus has formed around the notion that allowing more routine access will drain the drama from each encounter. “The more media interviews you do, the less any one interaction matters,” Palmieri says.
The former president and first lady, as well as campaign chairman John Podesta and others, are said to recognize that keeping the press at arm’s length has damaged her campaign. They concede that her long periods of silence in the face of swirling questions about her private email, speaking fees and Clinton Foundation favor-seeking have hurt her on the crucial issue of public trust.
By not doing national interviews until now, Palmieri concedes, “we’re sacrificing the coverage. We’re paying a price for it.”

What happened? That rope thing didn’t play well?...
Oh I get it...the latest plastic surgery scars have healed.
Oh, my eyes...noooooooo...
“Jennifer Palmieri, the campaign’s communications director, told me in an interview. “America will see more of her.””
Now there’s a frightening thought! Small breasts, two left wings, and a couple of fat thighs!
Hillary will be interviewed by George Stephonopolous, Gayle King and Nicole Wallace (all her sycophants).
“Let them eat cake”....
I liked it more when she said nothing. I’ll only listen to her when she gives her “final statement” before heading to the electric chair after being convicted for all her crimes.
Oh,Thankyouthankyouthankyou. She seems to have her image broadcast to the homes of the throngs of the little people so she can talk about the war on women, income redistribution, gun confiscation, and the like while those dirty terrorists to which she sold arms are plotting to kill more and more and more. I, for one, say FIE on you....
Let's get real. No one wants grandma for President.
“She’s all on board,” Jennifer Palmieri, the campaign’s communications director, told me in an interview. “America will see more of her.”
From what most of the US has seen, they no longer want to see any more
"Mrs. Clinton … may I have a word?"
To paraphrase the old 60’s hippie anti-war mantra.
“Suppose She gave an Interview and no one came?”
The truth is, that Hillary is neither ready nor able to stand on her own two feet against the withering but legitimate charges coming from an inflamed press. She is not the candidate of 2008.
She is hiding for a reason. Think pathetic UN presser on the personal server. A disaster. What kind of a personality make-over could her handlers have imposed on her, in such a short time since then, to get her competent enough to meet the increasingly unfriendly venues awaiting her?
What’s encouraging is that the PIAPS campaign is in a reactive, not a proactive, mode. They’re back on their heels, responding to one gaffe after another. Watch out for “Bernie-mentum,” with two worn out, shriveled up Commies battling it out. Pass the popcorn, please!
Yea, she’ll let the reporters ask what her favorite color is now after they were able to determine her favorite ice cream. Talk about progress and openness, she’s all over it!
What was her favorite ice cream, Ben & Jerry’s “I Dough, I Dough,” celebrating SCOTUS’ seal of approval on sex perversion?
