Hillary Clinton Has Been M.I.A. Lately -- and Here's Why

[Purveyor]

(WASHINGTON) -- At a time when many potential 2016 presidential contenders appear to be starting the ignition of their campaigns, Hillary Clinton has pressed the brake pedal.

Or so it seems.

Clinton’s calendar, which was jam-packed throughout most of last year with paid speeches, award ceremonies, fundraisers, book tour stops, campaign appearances and official Clinton Foundation business, is now virtually empty.

Over the past six weeks, the likely Democratic presidential candidate has made just two public appearances -- both on the same day, and both in Canada. She doesn’t have another event scheduled until late next month.

Although Clinton still insists she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run, it is widely believed that she will, and an announcement is expected this spring.

Until then, Clinton appears to be lying low and staying out of the public eye. Meanwhile, much of the focus has turned toward potential Republican candidates like Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and Rand Paul. A dozen others tested out their possible stump speeches at a summit in Iowa last weekend.

1. The Clown Bus has always cluttered up the roads in the past.

Appears there will be a major kick off in the next ninety days. Looks like the Campaign Structure is being filled out. Have not seen anything locally as far as office space of staff procurement. Anyone know if HRC and advisers going with the 13 state strategy or are they going 50 or bust.

2. So basically she fears losing ground through exposure.

Does that mean her brand has peaked?

[JoePhilly]

15. Do you think there is anyone in the country who does not know who she is?

[Beacool]

3. I think that she doesn't want to be campaigning for two years.

The length of time we take in this country to choose a president is just ridiculous. So much time and money is wasted. Why do we need to know in January of 2015 who is running for president in November 2016?

Let the Republicans duke it out among themselves before we throw our candidates to the wolves.

[Agschmid]

9. Yup.

[AJH032]

13. Agreed

21. My guess is that she may regret having declared so soon in 2008, figuring it is better to wait until

the spring. I believe she declared before Obama did (though I can't remember exactly).

The other advantage is the longer she waits, the more she ties up the field. Certain people won't run against her and will stay out of the race if they think she's going to run. I think if she declares in March or April it won't be that big of an impact. If she waits longer it could be.

5. That has nothing to do with her husband.

Other than the fact that Clinton and Epstein were friends. No one has accused Clinton of being involved in any of the sex romps that Epstein held on his island and at his Palm Beach mansion. What's more, the woman who made the allegations against Epstein and Prince Andrew has testified in court papers that she never slept with Bill nor saw him participate in any sex escapade in the years that she was used as an underage sex slave by Epstein.

[Beacool]

8. Again, what does that have to do with Bill Clinton.

[LawDeeDah]

10. you said Epstein was having sex romps. he was arranging for or fucking children.

that is not sex, it's a crime of the worst kind.

[Beacool]

12. We know that, but not everybody chooses to express it as crassly as you.

[LawDeeDah]

14. I see this really touches your winking heart.

[wyldwolf]

17. buh bye

[stevenleser]

18. That one was something. Laserlike focus on the Clintons. nt

6. Spending time with Charlotte, going on a diet (we all do that during free time) and getting a good

rest before the race. Smart move...

[blkmusclmachine]

11. n/t

[quadrature]

16. heart surgery?

neurosurgery?
cosmetic surgery?

could be a lot of things

[madinmaryland]

19. Interesting strategy. Stay low and let the clown car on the other side go after each other.

While the clown car starts going after each other, the Democratic party lets it happen.

20. Statistically, the more she's out in public, the less people like her.

That will put a monkeywrench in a national campaign for the presidency.
