She really doesn't do interviews, she's horrible at them, and they make her even less loveable than she already is. However, Trump hasn't meet an interview he could turn down and will spend this campaign season all over the major news outlets....and maybe even msnbc top. Will the ***** in the pants suit be willing to expose herself to more interviews?
Hillary has a problem..

I'd guess that if she could get the email server thing firmly behind her, she'd be more inclined to meet the press and once it's just her and Trump, she'll need to get her message out so will need to do more interviews but she'll probably still limit them.
I've been thinking about this. She is going to have to keep pace with Trump, the little passive aggressive retorts on twitter calling him out for his comments will bounce right off of him. He is going to dominate the news cycles and will destroy her in the media.
She did an interview with CNN on Friday and did several of them on Sunday. More interviews/exposure is not necessarily an advantage, especially when you're Trump. It just shows more of his flip flopping. George Stephanopoulos interviewed Trump on Sunday and Trump said he was going to lower taxes for everyone and George reminded him of a plan he released and it showed him raising taxes. He was caught in a lie. And he continued the charade of I'm going to lower taxes....but he wants to eliminate the debt....in 8 years. What a buffoon.
Considering that Trump has done way more interviews than Hillary so far and is far behind her in the polls, the idea of Trump doing more interviews than Hillary from here on out doesn't seem to be a problem for Hillary. Assuming, that is, Trump keeps interviewing like he has been instead of trying to appeal to a broader section of the electorate.
Although the people that have made Trump the GOP nominee like his brazen and confrontational rhetoric I just don't see how that is going to win a national election. The whole idea of a national election is that you have to appeal to lots of different kinds of people.

With a double digit lead, she doesn't need to. Plus Trump's interview performances only create soundbites for her campaign. He should probably do less of them.
She doesn't have a double digit lead. I'd say right now it's a close single digit lead reaching MOE threshold.
You're right, avg of April polls is 6.5%. Still, she is in control and doesn't have to get out of her comfort zone as yet.
LOL
Once the conventions are over and Clinton and Trump finally lock horns, we could certainly see a change in course. But I have the funny feeling his following is maxxed out, especially with the 3rd party possibility that will divide GOP.
He wasn't. It's absolutely mind boggling. Of course, when Liberal Donald is unveiled after Cleveland and Trump tells the world how he loves gay people and how he wants to open abortion clinics at his casinos, then we'll see how he holds it all together.He wasn't even supposed to survive the first few primaries.
It's true that Trump has defied expectations so far but note that he was always doing well in the polls. So he'd be doing well and people would say "That's not going to hold up" and it kept holding up and the got the nomination.
Note that now though he is not doing well in the polls. His task before, which he successfully accomplished, was holding on to the lead he had from the beginning. His task now making up ground on someone ahead of him.

Hillary is going to pave the streets with gold. If you want a free ride, she is going to look irresistible. Trump says the country cannot survive with business as usual politics. That leaves you with two kinds of people. Are we on the right path to survival(Hillary) or need to draw back a bit and everyone is going to have to have a paddle to row(Trump). There is no reason to obfuscate via complication.
In the first part of that graph Trump wasn't running. As I recall, as soon as he announced he was going to run he was at or near the top in the national GOP polls, if not in each state.
Trump is the one that is going to somehow put all the coal miners back to work and make the other countries give us trade deals that are to our advantage and to "Make America Great Again." He's the "make promises without explaining how he'll deliver" guy on the right. He's akin to Bernie Sanders saying everybody will get free college and free everything.
The real question is, what are the polling numbers showing for the states in play? If you take out NY,Ill and Calif, what does it look like. The GOP can't win the popular vote but can win the Presidency if they can carry the right states.
Not sure we can/should take bamaboy seriously. As well as I can remember, he was absolutely adamant that Trump would be out of race by Thanksgiving. He was absolute in his profound knowledge that Trump was just toying for name recognition. Said he was never intended as a serious candidate for the office. If he is to be consistent, he will make emphatic statements as to why he was right all along and Trump was just marketing his name. He still will not waiver that he was correct in his first assessment.
He doesn't know the meaning of the term "status quo". How can he be status quo when he has never been involved in politics other than to curry favor with both sides. Damn, he was way off on that new word/term.
