Hillary Clinton Has Been M.I.A. Lately -- and Here's Why
ABC News ^ | Monday, 26 January 2015

Posted on 01/27/2015 9:20:51 AM PST by presidio9

At a time when many potential 2016 presidential contenders appear to be starting the ignition of their campaigns, Hillary Clinton has pressed the brake pedal.

Or so it seems.

Clinton’s calendar, which was jam-packed throughout most of last year with paid speeches, award ceremonies, fundraisers, book tour stops, campaign appearances and official Clinton Foundation business, is now virtually empty.

Over the past six weeks, the likely Democratic presidential candidate has made just two public appearances -- both on the same day, and both in Canada. She doesn’t have another event scheduled until late next month.

Although Clinton still insists she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run, it is widely believed that she will, and an announcement is expected this spring.

Until then, Clinton appears to be lying low and staying out of the public eye. Meanwhile, much of the focus has turned toward potential Republican candidates like Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and Rand Paul. A dozen others tested out their possible stump speeches at a summit in Iowa last weekend.

A Clinton spokesman declined to comment on reasons for her light public schedule. But, according to Democratic strategists and Clinton insiders, this is exactly how it should be.

Here’s why:

Playing It Safe

After a rocky book rollout last summer and a few flubs on the midterm campaign trail, some see Clinton as politically rusty. Keeping out of the spotlight now lowers the chances of making mistakes that could come back to haunt her later.

“Why take the risk?” said one prominent Democrat with ties to Clinton, who requested anonymity in order to speak candidly about Clinton’s vulnerabilities. “The more you’re out there -- I don’t care how prepared you are or how experienced you are -- she’s going to slip up.”

But, the source added, it’s about the optics, -SNIP-

Hillary is undergoing a mind enhancement program supervised and performed by the aliens that live among us.
Whatever humanity she had before will be removed and put in a very, very, very small containment type device.
She will then be programmed to complete the preparation for the subsequent invasion by the alien force.
All humanity will be killed and our earth taken over by these other world-ers.
Well......this may not be true.....but with the destruction of our county and with the provocations by the west in Ukraine it sure seems like humanities best interest( survival ) is not in the plans.

Like I said - she’s probably not going to run. It’s either run and have a stroke or pass away, or don’t and have a few more years.

“she had a cerebral episode and is staying at trembling hills till she gets better”

LOL! And if Billy were out of the way she’s a widow & there’s no chance of “buy one get one free” like in ‘92.

Huma Abedin will then sub as 1st lay-lady-lay.

she will be a worthy successor to Joan Rivers


My cousin accumulated a ton of frequent flier miles, traveling regularly, between N.Y. and L.A., and got to know the flight attendants pretty well. She was boarding one night, and passing through first class, she couldn’t help but notice a particular passenger. “Is that woman wearing a Joan Rivers mask?”, she asked, after she was in business class. “No, that’s Joan Rivers!” the attendant replied.

Just heeding the advisers. The voices in her head told her to lay low for now.

“Rehab and cosmetic surgery.”

That would be my guess, too.

cosmetic surgery

I would bet all of my Solyndra stock, my place in line at the obamacare clinic, and any future Nobel Peace Prize I might receive that this is likely true.

Half of her voters weren’t even born yet when she was murdering attorneys and getting away with other high crimes and misdemeanors.

The flip side of that is that these same voters will see her (accurately) as a tired, worn-out old hag.

People seem to forget that it was Democrats who threw her under the bus in 2008 in favor of a jug-eared nitwit exchange student from Kenya.

One positive thing to consider. The Democrats. They’re old. Old as dirt.

Joe Biden: Age 72
Hillary: Age 67
Squaw: Age 65

Cataracts take about ten minutes. And nine of that is getting her into the chair.

ANY plastic surgery would be seen in two seconds by the E TV crowd.

Add Pelosi and Harry Reid to the mix. I never thought I'd see the day when the Republican Party came across as a young, energetic group.

You know things aren't looking good for the Democrats when the Senate Minority Leader has to come out in public and explain this by claiming that he can't even navigate his way up a treadmill:
