Campaign aides for Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on Saturday roped off reporters from the candidate as she walked and talked with potential voters during a July Fourth parade in New Hampshire, sparking frustration from the press corps and outrage from the state Republican Party.

“Hillary Clinton continues to demonstrate her obvious contempt and disdain for the Granite State’s style of grassroots campaigning,” New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn said in a statement. “The use of a rope line at a New Hampshire parade is a sad joke and insults the traditions of our first-in-the-nation primary.”

Reporters were reportedly allowed to get close to Clinton but were later herded away by campaign aides concerned about crowd control.

“Spectacle of Clinton as candidate -- press being pulled along with a rope,” tweeted New York Times presidential campaign correspondent Maggie Haberman.

“Never underestimate @HillaryClinton’s capacity to fritter away natural advantages with poor judgement,” tweeted Politico politics reporter Glenn Thrush.

First the Deathmobile and now this. She may be the worst campaigner since her last campaign.

"She may be the worst campaigner since her last campaign."

And yet, the press will all vote for her without hesitation.

I'm torn. Is it

The Eloi hear the sirens and shuffle off to the temple

or

this way to the cattle cars?

Either way, the irony of their complaisancy whilst championing themselves as guardians of freedom is apparently lost on them.

As for reporters she’s applying her version of ‘rope-a-dopes’. Why not have a big , glass tank and roll it down along the Hellary parade route with the reporters inside. Now that would be more symbolic of reality.

Doesn't Hillary realize what a big ugly deal the reporters can make out of this if they get mad enough?

I saw starry eyed middle aged fat women going gaga over Hill on WMUR, the local NH channel. Should I cross over and vote for Bernie or flip a coin between Cruz, and whoever is most Cruz like in the NH primary? I must say, I’m respecting Trump a lot. I like Jindal somewhat too.

I don't mean to be obtuse, but even Fox has not mentioned the town in NH. Who, What, When, Where, Why. They are little short on the where, dang the whole media isn't doing their jobs.

It is key IMHO, even is supposedly Republican NH, not all cities or towns are "R" or Conservative.... I want to know why she chose this little town, by the looks of it...

There’s something very odd about her left hand in that photo.

The press earned this humiliation...

They should thank their lucky stars Hillary hasn’t decided to piss on them... because they would go along with it.

She should just put leashes on their necks and have them crawl around with their butts in the air.
