Hillary Clinton campaign uses rope to corral media in New Hampshire

Re: Hillary and the Communism Play-Book.....control the media.

It's a real shame, that if I don't want a Republican in the White House, this is what I'm stuck with!

She has no eye for optics, and an arrogance that's beyond belief.

She may be the front-runner, but I wouldn't doubt she fritters away her lead with a litany of incidents like this and her recent usurping the kids' day in the park, to die a death of a 'thousand cuts' due to the knife of arrogance.

I truly hate the two-party system!

Can you imagine if a Republican had done this?, the partisan liberal media snivel-fest would be deafening. But in this case, the obedient partisan left-wing media lap dogs will to sit in the corner.

One hard-hitting journalist did ask Hillary what her favorite ice-cream flavor was.

OMG, Hillary is a Commie? Who knew?

That hard-hitting journalist was actually a photographer when they were at an ice-cream stand.

That is exactly the point isn't it! Hillary can't allow herself to take any honest, hard materially important questions, without committing political suicide.

Orwellian. Btw the best part about that softball question was her answer-her favorite ice cream flavor? She likes them all. :lol:

She doesn't need to answer any tough questions right now. That would set her up for taking shots from the GOP candidates. We aren't into the primaries yet. Wait until there is a clear cut winner on the GOP side.

Hillary has accomplished one thing. She has gotten me to completely abandon the "lesser of two evils" mentality. Unless Bernie pulls off a major upset I'll be voting third party.

You know, BrewerBob, I'm feeling similarly except I'm extremely dedicated to seeing national healthcare in this country, and while the current ACA is a mess, the idea of a Republican getting-in and tearing it apart to start over really scares me.

My family's originally from Europe, I've got tons of relatives scattered across Canada, and I watched attempts at universal healthcare since Secy Clinton tried her hand at it - and I hate to see it turned back. So, I guess that makes me a one-issue voter, but I don't want to lose our current gains.

But ugh - the thought of 'Madam President Clinton' turns my stomach almost as much as the former thought of 'President Romney'!

Another puffball article about Clinton from the left-wing lamestream media who have coronoted Hillary as the winner of the Democratic presidential primaries
 
She has been saying that she wants to be a champion for average (an insult in and of itself. Who the **** you calling average, bitch?) Americans....she just doesnt want to have to be near them.

Same here.

The way she bungled the 1990's effort is what got me. Both she and Obama have set back the cause a few years I'm afraid. Based on the economic upset of Obamacare, the scare tactics - "death panels" of the extreme right, I would say you have an Herculean task.

Yea God forbid a Republican is put in charge and actually makes a system where costs go down so prices go down (remember when Obama lied and said you would save $2500?) and PEOPLE were put in charge of their own health care (remember when Obama lied and said you could keep your plan?) and pick the things they wanted covered (remember when Obama lied and said you could keep your doctor?).

You might actually get to choose which hospital you go to as well!

Yes, and the botched 'HillaryCare' is what at times lets me give (very hesitant & tentative) credence to the ACA.

Obviously, I and many other's wanted a single-payer system - and the conventional wisdom is that President Obama, after observing Mrs. Clinton's failure (and one would think receiving her guidance) felt he needed to bring the insurance & hospital industries on-board firstly, since their lobbying efforts could kill the effort at inception. And he did meet with them privately, early-on, as has been often discussed.

Now, the cynics see a wholesale sellout to the insurance industry behind those closed doors, and the cynic-in-me is wary as well. But, I do remember seeing Secy Clinton in an interview just after the ACA passed into law, when questioned about the lack of single-payer, she stated:

"First we've got to get everyone in"

And, perhaps she (& Mr. Obama) are right. Getting national healthcare off the ground, even if through the mess that is the ACA, may be the politically required pre-cursor to an eventual single-payer system (or a workable hybrid - a unique American system).

It is very possible - and Secy Clinton's earlier failure may be a testament to such.

Perhaps.

This is such an important story and vital to fixing the problems facing this country.
Lesser of 2 evils? I ready to write in Putin.

The GOP has not shown one ounce of initiative to give us a functioning healthcare system over the years & decades. So, if you think they're going to 'improve' ObamaCare, I believe you're mistaken. They are devoid of ideas & lacking in action, as has been shown historically in this matter. They are simply reactionary/

The ACA is a mess, but it's a start - my hope is it morphs to the proper single-payer/private provider system it should be, free of insurance companies. I believe with a Democratic President, if we don't get closer - we'll at least not slip backwards.

Actually in this case she was roping away the reporters so she could be in the parade with the people of the city and not having the interruption and interference during the parade of the press corps. So you have your complaint exactly bassackwards.

Now I'm not voting for her, but that said, y'all are being crazy. She roped off the press so she could be in the parade with soon to be voters. Had she done the opposite, everyone would be saying she wasn't serious about being in the parade with the voters but was instead just using them to look good and let the press ruin the parade.

And you're not even a rightwinger and you're being stupid. I get not liking Hillary, but there are enough good reasons, this one is just silly.

I sure hope it's someone besides Hillary though. Definitely would prefer Bernie, but if it's Webb or Hillary, I'd take Hillary I suppose.

Fair enough -

But at the least, the optics look terrible - and images mean a lot. (especially to a Presidential candidate)

I'm liking Sen Sanders myself, too.

I don't know enough about Sen Webb's platform, but he does have a great life story, and seems somewhat of a self-made 'renaissance man'.

One of his earlier books, 'Fields of Fire' is an awesome 'Nam era novel based upon his wartime experiences and is very well written (along with being a runaway national best seller).

A potential POTUS who wants to literally wrangle the middleman. What could go wrong?

Why do you hate the constitution?
 
Gotta admit, great comeback from Hillary's Press Secretary...

Clinton Campaign Response
While the GOP may want to spin a good yarn on this, let's not get tied up in knots. We wanted to accomodate the press, allow her [to] greet voters, and allow the press to be right there... and that's what we did.

"First we've got to get everyone on board" is what didn't happen.

And, based on health economists observations here, it was a complete sell out to the insurance industry right down to "you cannot keep you plan". A bad scheme sold on a lie......

That is not advancing to the objective, but moving backwards. The insurance industry fought it here too, as hid health cos. But you will never have a sustainable and affording system with for profit medicine. I has never worked in education, it doesn't work here.

BY the way, "single payer" is an American invention to identify it against the idiocy of four and five payers. Across the world it is called either Universal Health Care, or simply health care. What you have no is a health industry and the government forces averaged rates

Correct. The headline is a lie. No one was "corralled"

What really happen is that they used a rope to keep the press in front of her so they wouldn't stop her from proceeding. If anyone in the press didn't like it, they were free to move to sidewalk and watch her pass them by
