No one is stopping her. She should go to the park. She's got it in the bag right? vintx Mar 2016 #4
Less sarcastically, it would be a great idea -- her media will follow her and the footage karynnj Mar 2016 #5
That is a good point. It would actually look better than hanging around polling stations. vintx Mar 2016 #7
Not to mention, it shows a positive side and she looks human and likable karynnj Mar 2016 #8

would be great as people recognize her and some wave hello or cheer her on. (I do not think many seeing a famous person they never anticipated seeing would react rudely -- and if they did they look bad amid a sea of happiness. It looks like a pretty early spring day.

It would be more demonstrative of the confidence which she should be feeling, if one accepts the 'inevitability / math / time to get in line' meme.

For her, video showing her laughing with kids and their parents would be better than seeing her give a detailed speech on anything. No one doubts her wonkiness, it was not surprising that Obama was asked (in an impossible question) if she was likable enough.

Because selecting a candidate who tries to look human and likeable is more desirable than selecting someone who actually is human and likeable.

I am totally certain that a random person who encounters Hillary is more likely to find a human likable person than would be the case for someone encountering either Trump or Cruz.

I prefer many Democrats to the Clintons, but her flaws - which I posted on for a decade are far less damning than any Republican.
