Clinton Having A Quiet August, And For Her, That's Just Fine

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- It's no day at the beach, but Hillary Clinton is having the political equivalent of a quiet August.

Donald Trump may be dominating the political chatter as he reboots a trailing campaign, but it's Clinton who's winning positive headlines during visits to some of the most competitive states in the presidential race.

The Republican nominee's constant state of campaign chaos is dulling the impact of stories about Clinton's emails and allowing her to spend plenty of time raising money behind closed doors.

"I think she's actually smart to stay quiet at this time. She's not a popular candidate with the Democrats. She has a lot of negatives herself. There's a lot of news that could be made about her," said Rick Tyler, a former aide to Ted Cruz, the Texas senator and onetime Trump rival.

a Ted Cruz aide. I don't know why, but I doubt that person has Hillary's best interests in mind.

She's busy on the campaign trail. Trump's busy screwing up as usual.

Just in case you didn't realize Rick Tyler is a former Cruz operative who made his living slurring HRC and the Democrats and is a current Republican candidate who wants to "make America white again."

else is reading (sarcasm off).

If I can't post AP articles on this forum then just let me off at the next stop.

Shouldn't be long now and I do invite you to alert on this thread if you think it to be so egregious.

found as a quote in an AP article may protect it against individual alerts, but you should become aware that patterns of posts can also violate DU's TOS. We've lost a number of DUers to that now, and I wouldn't want that to accidentally happen to you.

single quote or mention in an article from a MSM source?

If so I'm soon to be out of here as I've put my 'grown-up' boots back. Tip-toeing through the tulips is hell on my ankles.
