Rallies are usually planned on relative short notice, so they wouldn’t show up on a long-term schedule, so there will probably be some. Having said that, if you look at her primary campaign, her rallies were rather limited, with far more fundraisers, and “organizing events” where she would meet with local “activists”, and give them a pep talk. Like now, she depended on the media to do the heavy lifting that she can’t or won’t do for herself. The media obliges.

When she does have “rallies” they are tiny compared to Trump’s, averaging less than 1,000, whereas Trump routinely gets 5, 10, 15, and 20,000, depending on the venue he pays for. Most of Clinton’s rallies are held in small high school gyms, and she has a hard time filling them, so often they have to mobilize high school students to fill them up, or bus in union members.

We all know that the last time she’s had a press conference was about 250+ days ago. Considering that almost all the media is in the tank for her, you would think that she wouldn’t mind answering their softball questions, but she is deliberately hiding. She does do softball one on one interviews, but not very many.

Essentially, she is hiding, not only from the media but from the voters. How long she can continue to do this, and allow the media to campaign for her, without people noticing and asking questions, is anyone’s guess. She seems to think she doesn’t have to campaign, and just coast to a coronation on election day.

Her attitude makes me wonder just how she will do when she is confronted by a combative, take no prisoners Donald Trump during the debates, if she can’t even withstand the adoring fawning of the media.

My question is, will she debate, or will she someone weasel out of them?

No, she will not debate.

She cannot stand for two hours. Trump should make standing for two hours an absolute non-negotiable. Hillary will not agree to that, and Trump should advertise that that is why Hillary refused to debate.
