Hillary Clinton hasn’t answered a question from the media in 20 days
I wonder why?
Hillary Clinton hasn’t answered a question from the media in 20 days
Read the full story here:
Welcome to day 29 of the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign!In those 29 days – including April 12, the day she announced, and today – Clinton has taken a total of eight questions from the press. That breaks out to roughly one question every 3.6 days. Of late, she's taken even fewer questions than that. According to media reports, the last day Clinton answered a question was April 21 in New Hampshire; that means that she hasn't taken a question from the media in 20 straight days.
Carly Fiorina, one of the many newly minted Republicans running for president, is doing everything she can to shine a light on Clinton's close-mouthed approach with the press. This came from Fiorina deputy campaign manager Sasha Isgur Flores this morning:
In the last eight days, Carly has been interviewed almost 30 times and answered well over 300 questions. She continues to impress voters, pundits, and reporters alike with her willingness to share her thoughts and ideas – and to answer any question, from whether she likes hot dogs to how she would tackle the crisis in the Middle East. ... This is in stark contrast to many other candidates – and most especially to Hillary Clinton.

She doesn't have to at this point.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Maybe it's better to sit back and let the right-wing clown car self-destruct?

Exactamundo.
And Carly Fiorina needs to make all the noise she can to try to silence her detractors and bury her past shortcomings.

True.
Till she has a credible challenger in her own party, there is really no need.
Meanwhile the R-tribe candidates are doing everyting they can to garner attention to thier positions in their wide open field.
There will be PLENTY of back and forth from the "chosen ones" once that process has worked itself out.

You are exactly right. She isn't keeping quiet to let the Republicans implode (the ones who would implode wouldn't win the nomination anyway, so this isn't a strategy on her part), she doesn't have to say anything because Bernie Sanders poses no threat to her and he hasn't "attacked" her. She doesn't need to talk at this point, plain and simple.
The vast majority of America isn't paying attention to the 2016 campaign at this point, so why talk and possibly say something stupid when you don't have to?

Re: Hillary Clinton hasn’t answered a question from the media in 20 days
Exactly. Why talk now when only the politically obsessed class and the gotcha press are listening?
The questions won't be about policy, or what she wants to do if elected. They will be about the foundation, her husband''s speaking fees, etc.
Why on earth would she go there before she has to?

Bernie Sanders poses no threat to her
I respectfully disagree.
