We understand that Hillary Clinton is not going to Louisiana. I agree with her that candidates on the ground may be more distracting than helpful. Nevertheless, a little show of support would help, especially after what these media folks said about President Bush in 2005.
She is not going to many other places, either.
I think there are a couple of things going on here:
1) Her health is an issue, as it should be with any 68-year-old person running for president. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump (who is 70) should release their medical records. In all fairness, Mr. Trump shows a lot more vitality, but that's more of his personality than an objective health finding.
I'm old enough to remember all the questions about then candidate Reagan in 1980. Remember the Saturday Night Live sketch about President Reagan getting a bit old to be president? It wasn't the only time jokes were made about his age.
2) The latest RCP average has Mrs. Clinton up by 5.7%. The electoral college looks even better!......So why put her out? She is very stiff in public. Furthermore, the news media does not seem to mind that Mrs. Clinton does not hold press conferences. Why fight the media if they are ready to carry your water all the way to Election Day?..........Frankly, she is a horrible candidate, so why not run out the clock if you can get away with it?
Staying away is the best strategy!.......Read more
