Clinton campaigning in a bubble, largely isolated from real people
Kansas City Star ^ | May 21, 2015 | BY ANITA KUMAR

Here’s how Hillary Clinton campaigned for president this week: She took a private 15-minute tour of a bike shop that had closed for her visit. She spoke to four small-business owners chosen by her staff in front of an audience of 20, also chosen by her staff. She answered a few questions from the media following weeks of silence.

And after a little more than an hour, Clinton was off, whisked away by aides and Secret Service agents, into a minivan and on to the next event.

Members of the public who wanted to go inside the building to support her, oppose her or merely ask a question of her were left outside on an unseasonably cool Iowa day. Most didn’t bother showing up.

Welcome to Hillary Clinton 2.0. Mindful of her defeat by Barack Obama in 2008, Clinton has embraced a new strategy – one that so far does not include town-hall meetings and campaign rallies, media interviews, even public events.

Instead, she holds small controlled events with a handful of potential voters in homes, businesses and schools. She repeats many of the same lines (“I want to be your champion” is a favorite), participants are handpicked by her staff or the event host, and topics are dictated by her campaign.

But, but ... she told us she was keeping contact with Sid “Vicious” Blumenthal so that she has some contact outside the bubble.

By the time we get to January, the media will be editing in footage of huge cheering crowds and she’ll be campaigning in front of a green screen.

She doesn’t need real people. She’s a democrat. She will get the votes because she is a democrat. That is all that matters. And no one is challenging her, except Bernie Sanders.

If people get to know the real Hillary, they’ll hate her.

She’s a nasty person and it eventually shows.

Ergo, she’s in hiding.

The sequel to the movie “Wag the Dog.” Invent an imaginary campaign and apply tech astroturf to pretend there is support. Then steal the election with vagina voters, the dead, hanging chads, illegal aliens and other criminals.

It still wont be easy. But it is VERY doable. She is not up 25 points anymore. Like I said, she is either down 1 or 2 or up a few.
She can Absolutely be defeated.
The debates, with the right repub (Cruz) will destroy her.

Hillary is going to attempt to phone in the campaign to a coronation. And the media sycophants will help her.

She’s already got Obama’s 47% locked-up with promises to continue the freebies. She just needs to pick up a few more % by promising to forgive student loans or somesuch.

Yep. Obama 08 was a test to see if people would elect a president with no history or substance.

Obama 12 was a test to see if people would elect a liar who hates America.

Hillary 16 is a test to see if people will elect a person who isn’t even running a campaign outside of the electronic world.

The Third-worlders and vagina voters have proven the utter stupidity of a majority of the electorate. By 2020, they won’t even need to run a person. They’ll just run a Twitter handle for president and the Stupids will vote for it as long as it tweets out lines like “war on women” and “equality” all day long.

Not sure there has ever been a candidate so removed from Reality like Hillary.

Amazing she captures the fancy of so many “high”ly educated scholars and the masses of welfare and plantations slaves of the media.

Perhaps the millenials will hold the deciding votes.. And their futures in mind , shudder, and as many do next election day in the voting booths.. Say enough already.

The Audacity of Hope , huh? ;-)
