How come Hillary doesn't do press conferences? Cowardice?

[Dragonlady]

Excuse me for pointing out what seems to be the obvious here, G...but you seem to be admitting that Clinton is guilty but you're holding your nose and pulling for her anyways.

Not at all, but the only questions they ever ask Hillary about are her emails. Not about policy, not about platform, just questions about the Republican made up scandals.

As for the suggestion that she's a "dullard", she did manage to answer unscripted questions from the House Benghazi Committee for 11 1/2 hours, and made the Republicans look like fools while doing so. If Hillary is a "dullard, I guess that means that the House Republicans asking the questions were total morons.

So you admit that she's avoiding press conferences because she doesn't want to answer questions about the email scandal? Thanks for clarifying that, G!

Yes, it is obvious that is why she is hiding from the press. Just like it is obvious Trump is hiding something in his tax returns. Who can even argue?

Her idiocy with the emails has forced her to have to choose the least of two very bad choices. Hide, or face a hail of bullets.

What's her other choice? Admit that she broke the law...attempted to cover up what she did...and then lied about doing so? Some choice!

So you see my point.

Your "point" seems to be admitting that Clinton did all of those things and is therefore smart to avoid any discussion of them! In that case...why do you support her?

Where the ever loving fuck did you get the idea I support Clinton?!?!

From the countless posts you've made supporting her in the past?

What...are you pulling a Jake Starkey and pretending to be a Republican now?

Post one. Now.

If they are "countless", this should not be a problem.

RUBE: I just heard Hillary has extinguished the sun and came here to tell all of you this unbelievable news!

SKEPTIC: Hey, dipshit. Look out the window.

RUBE: WHY DO YOU LOVE HILLARY?

Why does she not do press conferences?

Because they would do noting to advance her political goals but may actually damage them. End of story. Same reason that virtually any politician does or does not do anything.

Well over 200 days now that Hillary Clinton hasn't done a press conference and taken unscripted questions from the full press contingent. Is she that afraid to be asked tough questions? Why is it that Donald Trump stands behind a podium and takes on all comers for over an hour when Hillary won't?

Here we go again.

Righties are particularly susceptible to the idea that Liberals/Progressives/Democrats are "afraid"

It's really insightful on how the average righty brain get's motivated to vote.

The GOP strategists just give you reasons to be afraid, which include Democrats being, or getting, elected.

Then tall you Democrats are afraid of you.

You then fell empowered

She does that in spite of her colluding with major media outlets on how to tweak their coverage.

What's laughable about that comment, Dragonlady...is that you're claiming the only questions Clinton gets asked in open press conferences are about her emails...when she hasn't GIVEN an open press conference in a LONG LONG time!

She did indeed manage to stonewall the House Benghazi Committee for hours. As for making herself look good doing so? She is still the person in charge of the debacle that resulted in the death of a US Ambassador at the hands of terrorists. She is still the person behind the coverup of that debacle. Hard to see that as proof of her "intelligence"...just saying!

She'll resume regular pressers when Amazon delivers her anti-barking collar.

So you're now claiming that Clinton HASN'T been ducking the press? That it's all some "idea" that I've had planted in my head? Really, Toxic? LOL

You do a press conference on a weekday morning like Trump did, hardly anyone watches the whole thing.

By evening, the sensationalist story hungry press has gleaned out all the worst things you've said and those become the highlights that get played over and over to a much bigger audience.

How is that a plus for Trump?

Interesting concept, FA...why, pray tell would answering questions from the press "damage" Hillary Clinton's political goals?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Tards are always manufacturing bullshit.

You're accepting that the American people buy the "worst things" that the main stream press have "gleaned" (nice way of saying selectively edited?) and don't pay attention to the rest of what Trump has said.

What's remarkable about Trump's run so far is that he has challenged the liberal bias of the main stream media by taking his case right to the American people through his press conferences and been successful doing so.

The fact she and Bill have managed to withstand a quarter of a century's worth of non-stop attacks speaks volumes about her ability to think on her feet.

Pseudo-cons have consistently underestimated the Clintons, and they STILL do.

The criticism of them is well founded. Everything they do is corrupt and dishonest. They are the trailer trash scumbags of the political power elite. They both should be in jail now.

Slick Willy would never had even been elected President if it wasn't for Bush Sr pissing off the Conservatives with his Liberal policies including a ridiculous tax increase. Slick Willy only won by a plurality.

 

[Freewill]

Quite simply she does not because she doesn't have to. There would be no reason to have a press conference during a campaign run where the outcome is already known. It could only hurt her not help her so why would she?

That or her brain is still addled by her fall and concussion.

Huh?

 

[easyt65]

She has been and is STILL waiting for a moment when she is NOT under criminal investigation to begin holding press conferences again. Now that the IRS has opened a criminal investigation on Hillary and the Clinton Foundation, it looks like Hillary will be postponing any press conferences until after she is elected, IF elected.

There are two groups of people that will vote for Crooked Hillary.

The great majority are the greedy Moon Bats that know she is corrupt and dishonest but will vote for her anyway because they think she will deliver more free government stuff. That is despicable.

There is a smaller group of uneducated low information Moon Bats that are simply to ignorant to have learned about Crooked Hillary's dishonesty and corruption. Jonathan Gruber had a name for them. He called them The Stupid Americans. That is pathetic.

No intelligent informed person would ever come to the conclusion that Crooked Hillary would be a good President and Commander in Chief. Her record of dishonesty, corruption and incompetency would preclude that.

Only greedy assholes and dumbass Gruberidiots would vote for her.

Hillary isn't crooked - 25 years of investigations and what's she been charged with? NOTHING! Republicans have been lying about Bill and Hillary Clinton since before Bill was elected. The reason is fairly obvious - both are hardworking civil servants who do a good job for their constituents. And unless they invents phony scandals, they have no way of stopping them.

Trump is the crooked one - bankruptcies, failed businesses, leveraged debt, 3000 law suits, a conviction for racial discrimination and bias in his property rentals. Trump only applied the "Crooked Hillary" label to Mrs. Clinton to keep someone from pinning it in him.

The government has been delivering the ultimate "free stuff" to large corporations and the wealthy for over 30 years - low wages, and subsidized wages for low wage workers. That why the largest corporations and wealthiest individuals control most of the wealth in America while the poor get free cell phones and food stamps. Only idiots like you are distracted by the "free stuff for the poor". The smart people know who got the most free stuff, and we're hoping that Hillary sticks to her word and deals with this inequity.

No intelligent informed person would ever come to the conclusion that Donald Trump would be a good President and Commander in Chief. His record of dishonesty, corruption and incompetency would preclude that.

Fear and loathing is not a campaign platform. It's lunacy.
