All summer long, Hillary Clinton delighted in snappy attack lines about Donald Trump. [
]
But as the campaign moves into the final stretch, Clinton finds herself chasing an even more elusive target: herself.
Just seven weeks before Election Day and Clintons poll numbers slipping, her campaign is trying yet again to explain one of the worlds most famous politicians to a skeptical public.
The effort marks an unusual moment of introspection for Clinton, who has long refused to engage in the kind of public self-examination that can help transform would-be heads of state into relatable figures.

All the advice and soul searching in the world is not going to erase her "deplorable" moment and the seizure.

Some enterprising individual could make a fortune if, using the latest technology, they’d find a way to do it. Perhaps they could bronze the item, like folks used to do with baby shoes; and THEN polish it. By George, I think I’ve got it!

“In the campaign’s final stretch, her aides plan to show off Clinton in governing mode - meeting world leaders during the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City, for example.”
None of the world leaders can stand her and it will just look like she is a Globalist.
If this is all she has left she is lost!
To: Tucker39
Never mind. The amount of material it would take to bronze her would be cost-prohibitive, among other problemd.

I always thought Hillary was a thoroughly corrupt, unlikeable, selfish, self-centered grifter. Turns out she’s just not a relatable figure because she refuses to engage in public self-examination. I never would have known.
Thanks, Lisa Lerer.

So she's going to attack herself? --
Trump should promise new jobs for headline writers. This one will be out of work shortly.

Translation: I have campaigned ever since I resigned as Secretary of State, I have carefully wiped my email server(S), I have engaged in world-class obfuscation about anything involving the Foundation, Benghazi, Syria, Iraq, Russia etc., raised and spent Million$ against a looney crank Senator who made me look (for a while) conservative, watched a GOP primary of 17 end up picking Trump, suborned & subverted the FBI & DoJ, raised and spent even more Million$ against him, rallied the reliable, unbiased (snort) MSM to attack him along with Hollywood, GOPe and other fellow travelers,
AND I'm now TIED WITH HIM!!!
[Expletive Deleted] What does an entitled, first woman President designate have to do around here! This is MY PRECIOUS, MINE I tell you, MINE!

If Hillary Clinton has not drawn any excited supporter crowds by now....she never will draw them ever........her surrogates are not drawing crowds either!!! And, her “adoring” biased, hateful media has destroyed any creditability they ever had, which was very little to begin with.

She needed help from fellow propagandist Julie Bykowicz to come up with that one, apparently.

You cant polish a turd.
I keep hearing this, but it's wrong. Fossilized dung can be polished. They call it coprolite. You can make jewelry out of it.

Lol...or "overcharge"? Like she did to poor donors.
Bwahahaha! She has written all the jokes herself!
