Yes, but when did the primaries start and when were the debates?

The start date means nothing by itself, it’s only important how far ahead of the primaries and the debates that matter. Primaries have been moved up further and further over the years, and thus have the debates.

My only point is that I want to see her earn my and everyone elses vote, not just jump in a week before New Hampshire next year, without being tested, and without getting the opportunity to prove the media wrong and hone her debate skills, ect.

I have no problem with her waiting a while longer, but for me personally mid September is the drop dead date for her entering.

Really? Are you really trying to engage in a discussion based on that? REALLY?

I don’t know what the drop dead date is but there are some FEC regs, etc that have to be met I believe.

However we are only just over 5 months away from the actual voting to begin. So time is becoming short for anything more than an I’m in type race.

Sept
Oct
Nov
Dec
Jan

Based on what premises? That would still be 14 months from the elections. What authority do you have to set schedules and deadlines for presidential candidates?

As for the original article, I disagree that the mainstream left-wing media turned on Hillary Clinton. They always did and still do suck up to her. She was never vetted in the manner that Sarah Palin got vetted.
