Clinton to start 2016 bid with focus on voter interaction

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to launch her campaign for president sometime in the next two weeks and will initially focus on intimate events, rather than soaring speeches to big rallies, as her team looks to put her in direct contact with voters in states with early primaries or caucuses.

The goal, according to two people close to the Clinton organization, is to make Clinton's second run for the White House more about voters and less about herself.

While it appears at this moment that Clinton will not face a tough primary challenge in 2016, she is aiming to show voters she plans to earn their support and won't take the Democratic Party's nomination for granted.

Jim Webb has an official ‘exploratory committee’. That means he’s running. O’Malley is about to announce his ‘exploratory committee’, and is described by Democrat Bible WaPo as campaigning already.

Well, Bill always did like a “hands on” approach to his prospective female voters . . .

Imagining “intimate events” with Hilary is worse than my worst nightmare!

“Personally, I don’t believe she has any throwing skills at all.”

According to my sources who worked the Governor’s detail in Arkansas her aim was pretty good.

CNN

Webb, O’Malley beef up Iowa schedules ahead of possible 2016 bids

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/06/politics/webb-omalley-iowa-2016-plans/

Martin O’Malley - age 52
Hillary Clinton - age 67
Jim Webb - age 69

Every election since 1992 has favored the younger (2000, both about the same age):

GHWB vs Clinton, Dole vs Clinton, Kerry vs GWBush, McCain vs Obama, Romney vs Obama

Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, and Brian Schweitzer could enter the race too, especially in the absence of Hillary.

Fact us she just wants to talk to low information people who know very little,which is exactly Hillarys strength.
She is a lousy speaker and can’t handle big crowds,she looks like Kim jong un when she comes on stage doing her clapping seal act.Just get her to laugh,that cackle will really work

If we end up with a choice of Hillary Clinton versus Jeb Bush I would have to say this Country is too far gone to be able to save.

A Bush-Clinton choice would tell me we are still voting for the "lesser of two evils" minus ANY LEADERSHIP that reflects the Constitution or Conservatives.

This is WHY the current "pigs at the trough" are so desperately trying to scuttle Cruz and Walker.

Another attempt to make Hillary Rodham-Nixon seem personable and “down” with the “common” folk instead of the rich, elitist White snob she is. I’m sure Hillary is looking forward to meeting up with her base, the idiot, low info crowd. She needs to remember to keep the Perrier, the Beluga caviar and the Dom Perignon in the hotel room while she has to “endure” endless meals of burgers, pizza, and soft drinks with her duped supporters.

Another factor could be her alleged health issues. Smaller, hand-picked and friendly groups are a LOT less stressful to deal with than large rallies.

And to rapidly escape from, if necessary. Having to slip out early from a small coffee talk situation due to a sudden “headache” is easier than bolting from a big rally.

I guess she must be aware of how no one wants to hear her speak at all.

I bet that is part of it. Minimizing voter exposure to her screechy, preachy voice. Makes me cringe thinking about it.

Announce that you will implement a Student Loan Forgiveness Program if elected. But only for those who can produce proof that they voted.

That’s probably how she will do it.

By comparison: Ted Cruz identifies himself by a history of words and actions that consistently demonstrate a love of his country and the constitution we’re founded on. Hillary on the other hand, wants your vote to help her reach a personal career goal....

I don't know, I mean, have you seen her physique? I don't thing she can do anything well other than tripping over her image as she boards an airplane.

Let's watch!

Well, to be fair, she is also really good at overly exaggerated facial expressions and bizarre, inappropriate laughter.

Just look at them teeth!
