After summer of attacking Trump, Clinton focuses on herself

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 Clinton’s poll numbers slipping, her campaign is trying — yet again — to explain one of the world’s 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.

Another reset button, haha.

Hillary will be re-setting and re-introducing herself all the way to election day. I laughed at her press conference statement on Thursday when she said that she will focusing on getting her positive message out, but then her statement was full of her usual attacks on Trump.

She can’t help herself.

She has a new book out about herself. Read the reviews and find what’s not to like

I was hoping that the headline meant that Hillary was going to start attacking herself.

I hope this means she is going to take a shower and wash her hair.

You do not want to be down wind of the bitch.

AP trying to rewrite history.

Other than sucking up donations at super-rich fundraisers, Hillary mostly took the summer off. Her campaign bragged that she was strategically taking herself out of the limelight so the attention would be on Trump self-destructing.

Didn't quite work out as planned.

She’s listening to whatever Robert Cialdini tells her to do. Or let’s assume she is.

She’s listening to whatever Robert Cialdini tells her to do. Or let’s assume she is. But if the untruths keep flowing out of the HRC campaign... it breaks down the Cialdini equation. Lies aren’t part of the equation.

A suggested alternative headline:

“You can’t polish a turd.”

Is that like putting lipstick on a pig?

Trump supporters are not letting that word die. She gave his supporters and most of America a reason to not vote for her. She exposed herself and an inside the Washington Beltway elitists who hates America an Americans who make it great.

Most American hate the UN. Rubbing elbows with blue helmets who rape little girls will really get my vote.

The UN who says that America is one of the worst offenders of human rights in the world. Saudi Arabia where they mutilate women, throw gays off building and women are property of their husbands you know like slaves that we did away with 150 years ago gives her $25,000,000 and she shuts her mouth.

I hope Trump stops funding the UN. It is broken. Time to move on.

She looks like the gal in the video clip of Hillary's head bobbing all over the place and this reporter, looked shocked and laughed.

Can anybody confirm this?

Actually, this article is an interesting read. AP basically didn’t say a single thing positive about crooked hillary, and pretty much repeatedly pointed out that there’s really not a good reason to vote for her.

Amazon would do well to bind and publish just the reviews. I was laughing so hard that my eyes were watering.
