Hillary Clinton needs to steal the country’s attention from Trump
The Los Angeles Times' Top of the Ticket ^ | September 2, 2016 | David Horsey

Posted on 09/04/2016 8:37:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Apparently, there is a famous woman running for president against Donald Trump who has a very good chance to win, not that there is much said about her in the media. Most days on cable TV news shows, in the political blogs and in the newspapers nearly all the discussion is about Trump’s latest weird tweet or bellicose speech or impulsive campaign stunt.

Is this good for Hillary Clinton? Some opine that it is. All the focus on Trump deflects attention from the nagging questions, both fair and unfair, about her actions as secretary of State, her mishandled email and her complicated ties to the Clinton Foundation. It allows her to be selective about when she talks to the media. And it frees her to spend lots of time flying around to ultra-exclusive fundraisers from Beverly Hills to Nantucket.

Arguably, this is working. Current projections put her on an open path to the 270 electoral votes she needs to capture the presidency, while Trump is struggling to maintain a lead even in solid Republican states such as Georgia and Arizona. So, who cares if Trump dominates the news?

Clinton should care. In a country where far too many voters seem more interested in being entertained than enlightened, Trump is a good show. Even though the electoral map favors Clinton, national polls do not indicate that there is much of a popular-vote gap between the two candidates — both hover in the 40s....

Well that’s going to be a little hard to do if she’s bedridden and spends 18 hours a day asleep.

The Clinton/Soros-hired media must be getting nervous - they’re trying to cheerleader again.

Horsey, huh? How apt.

The meme Trump is struggling in AZ and GA is pure hokum.

Hillary is struggling in WI, MI, OH, PA, NH, ME and VA.

She’s in deep trouble and Labor Day polls will show Trump ahead.

David Horsey don’t like the rule the candidate who leads on Labor Day goes on to win in November - when its Trump.

Suck it up.

"Most days on cable TV news shows, in the political blogs and in the newspapers nearly all the discussion is about Trump’s latest weird tweet or bellicose speech or impulsive campaign stunt."

There's plenty to talk about: criminal server, criminal foundation, poor health. They just want to avoid her issues and keep runing down Trump.

Why don't they talk about her. What do they have to lose?

MSM’s got nothing much good to say as HRC ain’t lookin’ so hot these days, instead it looks like she’s falling apart physically. She’s just another old housebound woman who’s used to the chair and not much else but the bottle, and the only thing motivating her is her absolute lust for power. She’s ~70 [as is Trump], and I’d bet Trump could subdue her with one hand...

Maybe she needs one of those button things to push.

“...far too many voters seem more interested in being entertained than enlightened,”

The arrogance just drips from these liberal a-holes. Yes, I support Trump because I’m an inbred ignorant hayseed who is more interested in being entertained than enlightened.

If I had any intelligence or education whatsoever I would be supporting the corrupt globalist felon running against him.

Good luck trying to do that, when Trump is getting his message out on social media (he's got WAY more followers on social media) and Hillary's many faults are dragging her down quickly.

The press have not yet come to grips with the fact Hillary has suspended her campaign pending the coronation. She’s in the bunker in life support and comes out often enough to suck money out of her diminishing yet fawning supporters.

That’s mild compared to this:
