'Kiss of Death': Democrats keep Hillary off campaign trail
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/12/18 | Al Weaver

Posted on 10/12/2018 5:17:33 PM PDT by Libloather

Hillary Clinton was once the face of the Democratic Party, a celebrity name who could draw thousands to rallies and was the all-but-certain first female president of the United States. Now, she is viewed as "the kiss of death" for candidates.

As the midterm election campaigns enter the home stretch, the former secretary of state, first lady, senator, and 2016 Democratic nominee is almost completely absent from the campaign trail. Most Democrats are keen to keep it that way, fearing that her reappearance could cost them a golden opportunity of winning back control of Congress.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, are due to go back on the road next month, embarking on a 13-city tour in which they will conduct “one-of-a-kind conversations" about "the most impactful moments in modern history". But Democratic strategists are relieved that their first event will be 12 days after Americans go to the polls on Nov 6.

"I think they're measuring how they can have the best, positive impact and have kind of decided to wait until after the election," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

She could star in George Dickel commercials.

NOW I KNOW WHY THEY ARE ON TOUR AT THE MOMENT.

They are both such death to democrats people actually had to invent a speaking tour for them to keep them away from any possible candidates so they wouldn’t harm them. And they are paying them to stay away from every democrat running for office.

If by "thousands" they mean "tens", then yes.

Hillary is a crook big time and would sell us out to the highest bidder with scarcely a thought.

But she has never had quite the crazy eyes of some of the far Left nutters that are acceptable in DNC and considered the new and rising stars.

On both accounts, the sell us out to foreign powers / international governance and also the socialism, current DNC makes me miss LBJ ... at least he would fight the damn commies.

I say that realizing that LBJ was a really bad man, just no where near being the bad American the current crop are.

The tickets for the Clinton touring freak show are going to be at least $600 each. I predict pitiful ticket sales, or wealthy Rats may have to buy blocks of tickets and give them away for free. And even with that , they’ll have to photoshop fake people filling empty seats, just like her campaign did in 2016.

Kankles sees the crowds of up to 20,000 standing in line for hours to see President Trump—over and over again—and it’s KILLING her.

These things are never coincidence with the Clintons.

They announced their tour four days ago; probably needed a week minimum to set it up.

So they knew, by the beginning of October at the latest, that the Kavanaugh disaster had already wrecked their chances of taking the House. The tour must have been scheduled for after the election when everyone else finds out what they already know, so they don’t have to reveal they already know it.

This is the Sedition Tour. They’re going to be rounding up allies for a violent revolt.
