But as the campaign moves into the final stretch, Clinton finds herself chasing an even more elusive target: herself.

Just seven weeks before Election Day and Clinton’s poll numbers slipping, her campaign is trying — yet again — to explain one of the world’s most famous politicians to a skeptical public.

The effort marks an unusual moment of introspection for Clinton, who has long refused to engage in the kind of public self-examination that can help transform would-be heads of state into relatable figures.

A suggested alternative headline:

“You can’t polish a turd.”

So she’s going to attack herself? What a poser, everyone else is already doing it.

They argue that people like Clinton more when she’s serving in office than when she’s campaigning. LMAO

The summer of Trump, then the fall of Clinton.

She’s had more, ‘Restarts’ than we’ve had, ‘Summers of Recovery’ at this point!

Give it up, Hillary. You. Are. Going. To. LOSE.

Hillary needs another reboot story.

This is about a woman who has been in the public eye nearly a quarter of a century.

How much more do people need to become acquainted with her?

Hillary is done.

“You can’t polish a turd.”

Says Hillary in her fake southern black drawl:

"I ain't noways turd."

Just what the middle of the country wants to hear: more about Hillary herself. Most people I know who are not on the political extremes cannot stand Hillary as a person. For the independent/undecided voters, personality can trump political stances.

Last night on Megyn Kelley’s show, Bill Bennett was asked what advice would he give to the Hildebeast to improve her chances of winning the presidency.

His answer was,
“Become a different person.”

Mythbusters polished the scat of lions and ostriches. They had to dry them out, pulverize them and shape them into spheres before polishing, though. Unlikely Hillary will subject herself to such physical torture, I suspect.
