Hillary Clinton has no campaign rallies scheduled for the foreseeable future.
No campaign rallies are scheduled for the next month! A list of her upcoming events shows a fundraiser she is expected to participate in Sunday August 21st with Cher and then no campaign rallies scheduled into the foreseeable future. The only other event in August that she is currently scheduled to participate in is on August 31st at the American Legion National Convention.
Donald Trump on the other hand continues to outpace Hillary Clinton in rallies and in attendance at campaign events through the first three weeks of August. Trump now has more than doubled the number of events that Clinton has held. Month to date through August 19th Trump has held 24 campaign events to Clinton’s 11. He also has events scheduled Saturday, August 20th through Wednesday, August 24th with Sunday the only day that he is taking off. (Note that this list only includes campaign speaking engagements and not visits with government and corporate leaders which Trump appears to be outpace Clinton as well.)
Due in part to the number of events held, Trump continues to significantly outpace the number of event goers that Clinton has month to date. Trump has accumulated more than 131,000 people at his rallies while Clinton has accumulated only a little more than 10,000. Clinton has given speeches to an estimated 14,500 event goers but one of Clinton’s speeches was to the NABJ/NAHJ which was not a Hillary campaign event. This event had an estimated 4,000 in attendance. When considering only Clinton campaign events Hillary has only 10,500 campaign goers in attendance month to date. As a result Trump has more than 12 times the number of attendees at his events than Hillary.

Rallies are usually planned on relative short notice, so they wouldn’t show up on a long-term schedule, so there will probably be some. Having said that, if you look at her primary campaign, her rallies were rather limited, with far more fundraisers, and “organizing events” where she would meet with local “activists”, and give them a pep talk. Like now, she depended on the media to do the heavy lifting that she can’t or won’t do for herself. The media obliges.
When she does have “rallies” they are tiny compared to Trump’s, averaging less than 1,000, whereas Trump routinely gets 5, 10, 15, and 20,000, depending on the venue he pays for. Most of Clinton’s rallies are held in small high school gyms, and she has a hard time filling them, so often they have to mobilize high school students to fill them up, or bus in union members.
We all know that the last time she’s had a press conference was about 250+ days ago. Considering that almost all the media is in the tank for her, you would think that she wouldn’t mind answering their softball questions, but she is deliberately hiding. She does do softball one on one interviews, but not very many.
Essentially, she is hiding, not only from the media but from the voters. How long she can continue to do this, and allow the media to campaign for her, without people noticing and asking questions, is anyone’s guess. She seems to think she doesn’t have to campaign, and just coast to a coronation on election day.
Her attitude makes me wonder just how she will do when she is confronted by a combative, take no prisoners Donald Trump during the debates, if she can’t even withstand the adoring fawning of the media.
My question is, will she debate, or will she someone weasel out of them?
Did Hillary beat Bernie without all the “super delegate” votes???
What’s up?
Why do you need a campaign rally when the Media is ALL IN for you?
I looked at her schedule a couple of weeks ago and there was nothing scheduled. So I watched her news and there were some events, albeit small. Maybe they are afraid of notice so more protesters show up than paid supporters?
She shouldn’t try to drive over the Dyke Bridge then should she?
Lol! Just need to add that picture of looter man
No, she will not debate.
Yes, it does take a while to dig up the dead.
I think it’s a strategy.
No press conferences. They’re risky.
She’s terrible at rallies. Shrill, and boring all at the same time. Small crowds create bad optics to boot.
She does lose support the more people see and hear her. Better to let surrogates make up BS.
And there likely is some truth that she is not well. She certainly lacks stamina.
If the polls continue to show strong Trump movement upwards eventually Hillary will have to come out of hiding. At that point I believe is when WIKILEAKS springs the emails they have on her to slap her down. That’s when her campaign will be really struggling. I think this election is for Trump to lose. As long as he continues to do like he has this past week he will win.
Newt was on Hannity the other night and told Sean Trump might win with over 60% of the vote.
I am NOT feeling that confident.
Why do you need a campaign rally when the Media is ALL IN for you?Hey, that was Cruz's complaint about Trump.
I agree that her numbers drop the more we see of her, but scripted events are pretty safe and keep your campaign in the news. She is a ghost. This is prime time for the election unless she is planning for a burst after labor day, but even then it is still very unusual.
She’s busy eating live mice to put on weight for winter.
Well she hasn’t driven in 26 years and the bridge collapsed a long time ago.
so perhaps..
Trump is like the Energizer bunny and Clinton has to take weekends off?
DJT is 8 months older than HRC. He must have lived his life right!
She can’t climb stairs and I’ll bet he can do at least 35 push-ups without breaking a sweat!
Go Trump 2016-2024!
Why hilLIARy is 12 or so points ahead so she can go home, take off her bra and enjoy resting up until January. /sarcasm
