Just too convenient IMHO
If Hillary staged this, then she is stupid. The image this incident conveys is bad, and consistent with the worst public perception of her.
I agree with you guys; I smell something staged. Nothing happens off script, and the SS doesn’t allow a candidate to go into a public place without checking it out first. No way the staff “didn’t know.” And the patrons had to have been checked out, to the extent there were any.
It’s no different than the staged Michelle Obama at Target episode.
