Hillary Clinton took yet another step on Thursday in opening up to the media: a 16-minute formal press conference during which she slammed Donald Trump for suggesting Russian President Vladimir Putin is a better leader than Barack Obama.
Though the event was similar to the two “gaggles” she held on her plane with reporters earlier in the week, Clinton took the extra step Thursday of giving the media a half-hour warning before answering questions on live video at a podium on the tarmac in White Plains, N.Y. With the event, Clinton effectively ended the months-long standoff with her press corps, which led Trump to brand her “Hiding Hillary.”
Before she took questions, Clinton blasted the GOP nominee for his praise of Putin at Wednesday’s “Commander-in-Chief Forum,” where Trump said the authoritarian president of Russia is a better leader than Obama. Among other things, Trump cited Putin’s high approval rating in his country. “That is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country as well as to our commander in chief, it is scary,” Clinton said Thursday. “Because it suggests he will do whatever Putin wants to do, and then make excuses for him.”
Clinton also suggested former presidents would be rolling in their graves at the comment. “I was just thinking about all of the presidents that would just be looking at one another in total astonishment. What would Ronald Reagan say about a Republican nominee who attacks America’s generals and heaps praise on Russia’s president? I think we know the answer,” she said. (Trump had said that America’s generals had been “reduced to rubble.”)
She also announced she would be convening a Friday meeting of bipartisan national security experts, including former Secretaries of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff and Janet Napolitano,

Vomit alert. This is all she has. NOTHING.
I’m guessing she had to take a long nap afterward.
You have to be on LSD to write this kind of drivel.
Oh yeah...she really torched him.
15 minutes of pre-selected questions on the tarmac is a press conference?
ha! ha! Hillary sure does look like she shops in her closet. THAT was one place she should never have gone with the reporter, after all the unflattering hospital gown pics of her all over the internet. Talk about out of touch!
Was this the one were they asked her the hard-hitting question, Do you feel you are being discriminated against because you are a woman?
Hillary = 4 dead patriots in Benghazi and then there’s the 100 other sins and acts of treason, ya think?
She should never have been allowed to run for anything above dog catcher and that position is too above her capabilities, IMO.
The only President rolling in his grave is Nixon.
And that’s all about the fact that he can’t believe
he left the job in disgrace for doing 1/50 of the things
YOU’VE been accused of, Hil.
“extra step Thursday of giving the media a half-hour warning” -— It was just the boobs from the plane. No one else would have had enough time to get there.
Is a gaggle when you try to give a little laugh, it catches in your throat and you cough uncontrollably?
Hand picked reporters.
Hand picked questions.
Only 6 questions.
Only 15 minutes.
That was not a press conference. It was an excuse.
Hillary and Andrea in a “69” .... they are so happy together!
She is such a dumbass! I can’t stand people like her. She’s conniving and manipulative and she knows full well what Trump meant.
The ONLY way she can get away with this kind of drivel is to be speaking with low information voters who don’t look outside the MSM to be told what to think.
HRC: "I will tell them of the fascist warmongering animal that is Donald Trump. About how he lines his youthful victims up on the edge of the lake, cuts out their livers and eats them while the child passes away, all the while lecturing them on why segregation and slavery were wonderful and how LGBTQ persons should be sent to special camps where they can be tormented day and night forever! AND THAT IS WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THEM! HELP ME STOP THE TIDE OF HATRED RISING IN AMERICA TODAY!"
Reporter: "Thank you, your majesty."
Well that's the truth...at least with President Trump and President Putin we won't be seeing them bow down to other dictators....that's a good thing...hey Barky??????
Sixteen whole minutes...
This means she gave 1.5 answers...
Clinton effectively ended the months-long standoff with her press corps
