Related: About this forumIs Clinton's schedule normal for this time of cycle?
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be accused of many things for bringing this up, but those with good memory is it normal for the candidate to basically not to do campaigning events for week or so? If you look at her schedule after tomorrow, she doesn't have any public events until the debate in 11 days. I wonder if this deliberate strategy to give all the airways to Trump in hopes he hangs himself. Don't agree with strategy but trying to understand the logic.
I remember Obama in '08/'12 would have so many campaign events, and it seemed every other night he would be at some rally making caricature of Romney (and it would get play on news/local media). It has being my theory the only way to beat Trump is to swiftboat him like GOP do the Dem candidates. Hitting for racism, xenophobia, sexism, etc is all true but not effective. You need to 24/7 hit the airwaves with him as FAILED BUSINESSMAN and COMPLETE FRAUD. Guy's whole campaign is about how he is going to make America great again with the premise he can do what he did his business for America. Well the guy has failed at everything and is fraud. This should be the theme of the election.

(751 posts)Doing public events next week and the following?
What is normal? Every day on TV I see Trump doing rally somewhere. Can we expect the same with Clinton or she is taking a different strategy?
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Yeah, how could she be so silly.
kcjohn1
(751 posts)Is the strategy to do very few public events as evident by her schedule published (granted not complete).
OR
Is it to do as many public events possible, and am overreacting as I will be proven wrong in the upcoming week(s) as she adds events.
You probably believe Clinton campaign is beyond reproach and us simpletons should just listen/watch / defend our leaders regardless of what actions they take.

(11,482 posts)For Oct until election. My hubby got bronchitis this summer caught it in public at work. He tried to go back 3 times until he final stayed home for many weeks with doctors note.
The stress of campaign and all the travel would do me in healthy. I say give her a break.
I can't stand Trump but if he got sick same thing I would feel same way.
