Where are Sec. Clinton's surrogates?

I turn on the idiot box and all I see are Trump surrogates on every M$M network. Hell, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some apologist delivering up the Trump lies and hate on a platter. So where are Sec. Clinton's surrogates? I know there are plenty of them, but I'm not seeing them on anywhere on the talentless talking head flying political circus.

What the heck am I missing?

I don't know if the campaign is waiting till after Labor Day but the sheer number of Trump lunatics getting airtime is making me crazy. I'd love to see some really big names challenging the false equivalence of the M$M.

When your opponent is doing damage to himself, do not try to interfere or upstage.

But I still think there is still space for surrogates to pour a little fuel on the Trumpster fire.

Trump's surrogates are professional conservative grifters and talking heads that have free time in between oppression conferences and book releases.

Aren't all that busy right now... I'm sure part of what I'm seeing is the media imposed horse race mentioned above. I just get hoppin' mad at the crap being passed off as conservative "facts" right now.

Obviously it makes me crazy!

Obviously he has a pretty demanding day job, but he is the one person whom I think can really make the case that people can trust her. Because he himself probably started out wary but grew to trust her as she proved to be a loyal surrogate and then a loyal member of his cabinet.

I understand the President will be doing some campaigning in September, he will be a welcome addition to the campaign. He is really a force to be reckoned with...

Unlike the dipshit surrogates.

I do wish the Hillary supporters would show up more. Maybe they can get some of the campaign people to be there more. To me it looks likes the dipshits surrogates are camping out 24/7 at media outlets.
