Trump called out mainstream media and the Clinton campaign during his town hall on Fox News Wednesday night:
“She is so protected. They are so protecting her. She hasn’t had a news conference in, like, 250 days.” – D.Trump, Republican Presidential Candidate
Some fella by the name of Philip Bump over at The Washington Post built a computer program that shows exactly how long it has been since HRC held a press conference. Here is the current reading:
Donald Trump says stupid things all the time, but he also jumps headlong into the lion’s den, regularly taking questions from the press without any prescreening by his campaign directors.
Conversely, the only time Hillary can be seen speaking with the press is via one-on-one sit downs with her people, via a moderator who makes sure the softballs keep lobbing in.
Perhaps the powers supporting Clinton (no doubt both Dem and Repub) know she struggles with the press conference format. When reporters fire questions too fast, she tends to go a bit Michael J. Fox.
Mike J. Fox is a great actor and an even better person, but his health and mental constitute would be a concern of mine if he was the president.
So here we are, about 80 days away from electing a former First Lady, a political borg propped up by the House of Saud and Koch Brothers, and she’s avoiding the press like they’re Zika mosquitoes.
Quack.
Oh you think she won’t win!? Fat chance, FiveThirtyEight has her at nearly a 90% probability of winning. They don’t get this stuff wrong very often.
I think the wikileaks poll represents a true cross-section

don’t ask me what cross section
Nate Silver from 538 didn’t think Trump would get the nomination either and we saw how that turned out.
Seriously though, why does she need an actual press conference? It’s not like she’s not traveling from city to city to get her message out there. She’s just not saying stupid shit all the time, so it’s not news worthy.
When your opponent daily sticks his foot up his ass, just be quiet and let him.

They don’t see the matrix. I see the matrix but prefer it to the alternative on offer.
This Arby’s sandwich tastes like steak.
All hail President Kaine?
I’ve wondered that…
No. Hillary is going to win because Trump doesn’t really give a shit about becoming president. How else can you explain his lack of self-control and how awfully he’s managed his campaign? Maybe he has mental illness? Where is Dr. Drew?
Thank God Raul3 believes in the free expression of ideas unlike some of his fellow bloggers.

Sorry Fly. I emailed you back btw.
