I think people forget Obama's major strategic blunder in Debate 1 was that Romney pivoted basically completely and Obama never called him on any of it. If Hillary lets Trump get away with saying he's against the Iraq War or that he is pro immigration then she deserves a womping.

Damn....
Watch the far right start bitching about her flying on a 737 instead of a small jet.
They can't. Trump flies in a 757.
It looks really old-fashioned on the inside.
Well, it's also pretty old fashioned on the outside.

Hypocrisy never stopped the far right before.
Broken Nate Silver just pointed out that the NYT isn't really advertising this Krugman column... presumably because it gently tosses the Times under the bus.

Again, they need to pound on this.
She needs to be prepared to call him out on his flip-flops. Not her style? Then it's a missed opportunity.
The average voter doesn't lack the tools to check if candidate X or Y is BS about something. They lack the will.
That's why being so hell-bent on fact-checking Trump makes no sense.
I KNEW this would get on his nerves.
Well turns out being nice to the media has its perks. Dan Merica, who never stopped whining about press conferences, just clapped back at Trump's communications guy on Twitter.

She should just give a press conference and be done with it. She can defer to the FBI notes if anyone asks her about it and talk extensively about the $25k Trump Foundation bribe and her policies. Change the narrative, especially with her and a bunch of surrogates campaigning tomorrow that will get a bit of coverage.

I think she should do it, personally, but obviously the campaign has decided it would just be a big mess so they are refusing. Dunno why really. This entire election is nothing but one shit show after another. Might as well just end it.
The journalists on Twitter all seem pretty happy and are bitching about Trump not letting press on his plane. Andrea Mitchell is on the plane too... let's talk emails!
Has this been confirmed by other sources? http://www.smobserved.com/story/201...-johnson-not-allowed-to-participate/1894.html

No and it's not going to happen.
Lol no. And if it was an announcement it would be everywhere.
Another headline on this site:
UFO Causes SpaceX Rocket, Facebook Satellite to Explode; Photos, Video of UFO
lol. You and cartoon solider have definitely switched your bodies back since the primary.
I wonder if the Russian media have a picture of Putin staring Obama down.

Considering:
The tangible blowback over the last few days regarding press coverage;
Hillary now letting the press on her plane;
The FBI notes legitimately showing what a big honking waste of time everything was;
Yes, I think she should complete her Press Pivot and just hold a press conference. The press loves a pivot, the press loves the press, the press LOVES LOVES LOVES a press pivot!

not very well
PRESS PIVOT
I think that's probably Hillary's massive campaign apparatus' biggest weakness. They just don't move very quickly. Often I think they do miss opportunities in exploiting press coverage. I mean I don't think it shifts the tone of a race but it does create some annoyingly difficult cycles.
Trump's 30 person operation does seem to be more nimble. Not that it matters.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
So my guess is she was waiting for the FBI report to come out before getting closer with the press. Interesting tactic.

Sure, but it moves with the speed most normal campaigns with careful messaging do. Having the candidate themselves hammering away on Twitter doesn't always yield valuable campaign responses, as seen in Trump's case.

Democrats pick up 23 seats in the House, 7 in the Senate.
IL, WI, IN, PA, NH, NC, FL. NV is a hold.
Possibly. But they just rolled out their new campaign plane today anyway, and I doubt they were waiting on the report to roll that out.

The thing with the presser now, though, is that you give in to what Trump's saying and what the media is bitching about. I'm not quite sure why they didn't do them, to be honest.
nature boy

So stop the bitching?
If she doesn't have a press conference, Trump and the media bitch.
If she does, Trump and the media have a victory parade and it's over.
But... so? If you pat the media on the head and tell them "my family's foundation gives millions of people HIV medication but my opponent's instead bribes politicians" then there's a nightly news story right there. And then Trump will have to talk about it because that's just what he does.

You don't give your enemy a moral victory.
And I don't know which one is the bigger enemy atm.

If Hillary does a PRESS PIVOT now, then that just fulfills a cynical media narrative that she'll do anything to win while being inauthentic, proving she's panicking about falling numbers and the FBI report and losing to likable Donald Trump.
All you thinking a pivot makes a difference now are utterly blind to exactly how this plays out. Remember rule #1: Hillary is always wrong.

It's hardly a moral victory.
Trump: "Hey, Crooked Hillary gave a press conference because of ME!"
Rest of the world: "Who gives a shit?"
The media just wants to give the vibe they're doing their job.

Trump is irrelevant though and the press bitching is semi-reasonable--I mean they shouldn't have such a hard-on over it but she could also reasonably be more available and do one. It would only look like giving into Trump if the media plays it that way and they definitely won't once they've had their ring kissed. They'll actually start griping about him not letting them on his plane!
My thing is. She does this and it's just questions about the emails and the Foundation. Lets say she answers the questions flawlessly, and the media still pushes the narrative. How does that help her?
