Hillary Clinton, rarely seen, rarely heard
The Politico ^ | September 3, 2016 | Annie Karni

The Democrat lets reporters trail her but tucks them away to keep them out of sight and herself out of reach.

Hillary Clinton has never felt comfortable with the traveling political press.

As first lady, she would sometimes arrange travel for herself and Chelsea separate from her husband, partly to avoid the protective pool of reporters assigned to the president. In 2008, she “fought tooth and nail,” former aides said, to avoid sharing the plane with her press corps and relented only when her campaign was running out of money and had to either bring the reporters on board or downgrade to commercial.

And in 2016, with plenty of cash and a winning position in the race, Clinton has managed to keep the press at arm’s length – preserving her private plane as a refuge where the only people around are her trusted campaign aides.

That changes on Labor Day, when the reporters and their press-leery candidate will for the first time board a “Stronger Together”-wrapped 737 from New York to Ohio to Iowa, and remain flying companions for the final stretch of the campaign....

“The speed with which her health is declining, is shown by the fact that she ran a real campaign against Bernie earlier in the year.”

Very true, and that was when she knew the fix was in. Now she doesn’t know for sure, desperately needs to campaign, and can’t.

Hillary’s entire life has always been about Hillary. She has not shown an iota of interest in the U.S. or its people except what can be done for her.

She has lusted after power, and she has used it extravagantly for her own benefit.

Now she is failing, and she has no beliefs or princlples beyond personal power to fall back on. She would rather go down, pulling down the temple with her, than benefit anyone else.

Someone will likely get it out.

Covering up is getting harder and harder.

Not everyone who works for the old media is a true believer. There are technicians and cameramen, maintenance people, and others who have at least momentary access to footage.

There are conservative sleepers in many places.

_Most_ will not report Hillary’s health problems, but her problem is that it only takes one leaker and she is in trouble.

It took one (now murdered by Hillary) leaker to expose the corrupt Democratic National Committee.

Reporters live in the world of leaks and favors—and they cannot be trusted regardless of their ideology or their editor’s marching orders.

Allowing them near her is a roll of the dice.

Yes, Bill Clinton’s wife has avoided answering questions from the press for more than 10 months, but I can sympathize with her. After all, with as many lies that this old, corrupt woman has told and with her present mental infirmities (how many times did she tell the FBI “I can’t remember”?) it must be REAL hard to keep all those fabrications straight...

Not only old, sick and of possibly serious state of mental deterioration, but fast becoming invisible and almost mute. Any addresses given to a specific gathering are measured, perhaps against a focus group, and with little visible energy.

Fewer and fewer redeeming social benefits to the potential installation of Herself in the Oval Office. There is still the robovoter and low-information voter out there, and a very good probability that extensive tampering of the vote count will occur, some of it naked and right out in the open.

We have it on good authority that George Soros has already called the election for Herself.

Why does George Soros still have a US citizenship? There are several countries that would like to bring him before their courts and try him for various crimes he has committed in their jurisdiction.

The more questions she gets from the press the more lies she has to remember. She has no memory left so, shes SOL and coasting to defeat.

The press is owned outright by six progressive leaning entities. Nobody involved in the ownership of the MSM is of Conservative, or even moderate bent. The press “journalists” have their marching orders. IF they want to keep those great salaries, perks, etc. they will do as they are told by the progressive owners. Otherwise they are just like MOST everybody else, out of work, and owned by the government.

illary is the best possible candidate Trump could run against. No energy, corrupt, lousy speaker, liar, inept campaign management, you name it.

Bernie, the communist, was at least out there and active and not afraid to attack.

Hillary and Obama together are destroying the Democrat coalition -- and it deserves to be destroyed.

How many times during a flight will the “press” literally kiss her a**?
