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

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.

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".

"Hillary Clinton is the kiss of death and she represents the part of the Democratic Party that led to historic losses and that elected Donald Trump president," said a leading Democratic strategist who requested anonymity because of fear of political retribution.

The only times she drew large numbers of people was when she had a known band do warm-up or Hollywood 'stars' standing with her. Or maybe, like the guy above - people showed up because they were afraid of her.

>>Also being fitted with a new fur lined casket and blackout curtains for those day trips.<<

Yes, would explain the blue sunglasses and fainting spell on a relatively mild day in NYC. The Hildebeast going rigid then limp was about sunlight, not heat.

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

Isn't that Barry's job?

Maybe the GOP candidates can find footage of Hillary praising their opponents and work it into their own ads....

Looks like she’s has some work done to remove some facial wrinkles and around the jowls.

They have BJ on happy juice or something to get him back with the living.

Durbin has it back to front as usual.

They’re red states because they weren’t insane enough to vote for her in the first place.

When exactly did Hillary draw thousands to rally’s?

This is how the Media report her turnouts.
