Yahoo: Clinton campaign faces a deficit of a vital commodity: enthusiasm

Los Angeles (AFP) - His rallies are like raucous circuses, interrupted by the clamor of a captivated crowd that is quick to finish his sentences. Hers seem more like sober presidential addresses, exhaustive litanies of proposals presented to well-behaved supporters.

Making matters worse, Hillary Clinton tends to arrive late, while the Donald Trump Show always begins on time.

At a Clinton event near Los Angeles, impatience is palpable as supporters await her arrival. The playlist (Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez...) runs on an endless loop, and a sigh of dismay courses through the auditorium when a seventh speaker steps up to the microphone. Hillary Clinton arrives 45 minutes late.

"I guess we should have gotten a bigger room," she tells the crowd of 1,200 in the suburban Riverside campus, apologizing that some people were left outside. But her advance team had chosen this gymnasium precisely for its modest size. Only Bernie Sanders has drawn crowds like Trump's.

The media is turning on her... Hopefully it's not too little too late!

It's all about to fall off the cliff for her I'd wager. The media finally is allowed to repeat as fact something its spent years only able to report as someone else's opinion: Hillary Clinton is dishonest.

No less than pure Fascism born of greed awaits us on the right. How can anyone feel enthusiasm for what awaits the opposition.

I've been saying this for months:

She'll suppress the vote on the left and amplify the vote on the right.
