Campaign aides for Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on Saturday roped off reporters from the candidate as she walked and talked with potential voters during a July Fourth parade in New Hampshire, sparking frustration from the press corps and outrage from the state Republican Party.

It hasn't worked so far, but the closet Republican in me believes it might help some day? In the upcoming Presidential elections? Top to bottom, straight Republican, no one else will be considered for any reason!
ReplyDeleteThought she pictures herself as the candidate of the people. Wow. She won't even let people get near to her.

ReplyDeleteDog & pony show!
If she thinks she's too damn good to get out there with the people and walk among them, then she needs to take herself on home and lock herself in her house and stay there. This United States does not need her, never have, never will.
ReplyDelete"Freedom of the Press" has been taken to a new low, by the new "champion" of the middle class.
