On the trail, Hillary Clinton finds her comfort zone
By Victoria McGrane GLOBE STAFF SEPTEMBER 05, 2016
WASHINGTON As the latest media frenzy over her e-mail server and entanglements with her family foundation got going, Hillary Clinton went on late-night television and opened a jar of pickles.
Here, take my pulse, she said a few minutes before that bit, offering her wrist to host Jimmy Kimmel and her first comments of any length on the rumors about health pushed by some supporters of Donald Trump, her Republican rival. Back in October, the National Enquirer said Id be dead in six months, so with every breath I take I feel like its . . . a new lease on life, she joked.
With roughly two months to go before Election Day, Clintons campaign is far from flawless. Yet as the drip, drip, drip of negative headlines about her e-mails and the Clinton Foundation continues she is quietly finding a more comfortable rhythm on the day-to-day campaign trail.
No, she hasnt transformed herself into a stellar stumper like Barack Obama or her husband, former president Bill Clinton. But the candidate who admits she is not a natural politician seems to have grown more comfortable in the role, political observers say. At times, she almost looks as if she might be gasp enjoying herself.
Shes found her groove, said Bill Carrick, a veteran Democratic strategist.
