Hillary Clinton Struggles to Find Footing in Unusual Race
NY Times ^ | May 28, 2016 | AMY CHOZICK, ALEXANDER BURNS and JONATHAN MARTIN

Posted on 05/28/2016 2:20:14 PM PDT by Innovative

Democrats could hardly believe their good fortune last month when it became clear that Hillary Clinton was headed to a general election showdown with Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump carried so much baggage and had insulted so many voting blocs that some Clinton supporters began to imagine a landslide.

But early optimism that this would be an easy race is evaporating. In the corridors of Congress, on airplane shuttles between New York and Washington, at donor gatherings and on conference calls, anxiety is spreading through the Democratic Party that Mrs. Clinton is struggling to find her footing.

Hillary is corrupt. Her defenders are willing to corrupt themselves.

She ought to go back to downtown Little Rock to re-charge her campaigns, but “the bimbos” might greet her there; won’t do.

“Mr. Trump carried so much baggage and had insulted so many voting blocs”

It’s refreshing of liberals to admit that illegals will be voting in the election.

The trial balloons are going up like flak over Hamburg.

SHE IS FINISHED. WaPo knows it. The NY Times knows it. The Boston Globe doesn’t, yet, but they get everything last.

Start following Biden’s schedule closely.

In general I try not to take pleasure in the suffering of others but she is too evil
and too set against everything I believe in to have any sympathy for her.

May she end up tripping in and out of a 5X9 cell
for the rest of her life.

I got a little over halfway through. I don’t have the time to list all the misstatements of fact. I don’t know how people can read this drivel.

The very first sentence is so full of lies it "NY Times" under the title renders the rest of the article INOPERATIVE.

There, fixed it for ya! :-)

UNUSUAL— now perhaps we finally know what the journalistic opposite lexicon is for “unexpected.”

The article describes numerous tactics the Hillary campaign is considering to counter Trump. Tactics, spin won’t do them any good. Hillary is just too unlikeable in the first place. No charisma. No political talent. Can’t get away from her baggage because people just don’t like her.

“Mrs. Clinton has a campaign that employs many methods of communication, including videos, respected surrogates and bilingual outreach.”

And barking like a dog!
