Between September and Nov 1, Hillary was making 3 (sometimes 4) closed-door, high-expense, no press fund-raising “events” per week, and only 1 short campaign “speech” - and that always to a small crowd in a small arena.
There NEVER was ANY enthusiasm for her, for her campaign, nor for her “message” except “I am the first woman” EXCEPT among her national press corpse!
