Exclusive: Hillary Clinton may delay campaign
Politico ^ | 01/29/2015 | Mike Allen

Posted on 01/29/2015 5:54:21 AM PST by GIdget2004

Hillary Clinton, expecting no major challenge for the Democratic nomination, is strongly considering delaying the formal launch of her presidential campaign until July, three months later than originally planned, top Democrats tell POLITICO.

The delay from the original April target will give her more time to develop her message, policy and organization, without the chaos and spotlight of a public campaign.

A Democrat familiar with Clinton’s thinking said: “She doesn’t feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.” Advisers said the biggest reason for the delay is simple: She feels no rush.

“She doesn’t want to feel pressured by the press to do something before she’s ready,” one adviser said. “She’s better off as a non-candidate. Why not wait?”

In the last campaign, she was so tired, she was actually crying.

1) she’s got a major health issue

Or a 'wealth' issue. She may not be getting the donor funding she was hoping for. There are still strong factions behind the scenes who work to defeat her -- again.

Overall, it is still early.

She’s running because she makes big money doing that.

The real advantage that the left is going to have is that they are not going to have a real primary. They will anoint Hillary and she will have all the money that would have been blown on a primary as well as she will be able to lead a unified effort.

We on the other hand are going to tear each other apart, blow large sums of cash and at the end of the process, there will be such hard feelings that the “not going to vote for the lesser of two evils” crowd will have a big impact on the results.

I’ve said it before. We need a “mini-primary” made up of REAL conservatives that allow us to choose the conservative we will all get behind. Once the conservative is chosen, that person will mop up the GOP primary and then have a sail full of wind to get through the general.

This will allow time for the plastic surgery scars to heal. She feels that by July she won’t look like an old crone. It also gives the media more time to rewrite her history

She needs more time for the scars of the facelift, lyposuction and bodylift to heal.

I disagree......Hillary Clinton will not seek the POTUS slot. If she does....she will lose badly. A hint is in the announcement that she will testify before Trey Gowdy and the “Benghasi” committee!!! She will be devastated and politically destroyed there, or in a later campaign!!! Yep.......she was the “chosen one” back in 2008......no one could stop her!!! Hogwash!!!

My guess is she won’t announce her intentions until after her appearance at the upcoming Gowdy/Benghazi hearings. She does not want any distractions. Especially if she is found to have been involved in something that could harm her chances.

I believe she is waiting for the Depends company to come out with a new extra-large/extra-capacity Depends that doesn’t leak if taxed.

To: Ditter

There was a female TV news anchor here who disappeared from the air without explanation for quite some time.

Turned out that her employer had sent her off for a facelift, and it did not go well. She developed a secondary infection and nearly died.

If that were the case, then she could have played that scenario out in 2008. A bag of rocks could have beaten John McCain.

People tend to forget that it was Democrats who threw her under the bus in 2008.

She had developed the clot in one of the veins that drains blood from the brain to the heart. ....I did not know that she had a heart.
