Does he actually say anything, or at least anything in depth or new? Nope.

Even if he is counting on low info voters to get nominated, the country is not going to elect a sideshow barker as president.
Too late.

I believe it is called "political strategy". Whether it works or not is another issue.

I'm surprised the media hasn't done a story on what a Donald Trump presidency would mean to them job-wise. They should be praying for President Trump. They are always complaining about lack of access to the president (photos and stories/interviews). Bush didn't like them, either. If Trump is a person who never met a microphone or camera he didn't like, the idea of President Trump should thrill them.

So far, the best video of Campaign 2016 is the reporters and cameramen running hilariously after the Scooby van.

Now, if Bush or Christie were the Republican front runners she might have a different approach.
Not started campaigning? That is all she has been doing for the last few months. Her problem, is she is being ignored by most.

What's the point of her or anyone doing interviews at this point in the game? All the media is doing is asking candidates what they think of the last Trump insult or absurdity. Once they narrow the Republican field they'll be plenty of time for Hillary interviews.

You think it's OK for Hillary to hide and not comment on specific political plans/opinions? Donald Trump is often criticized for not giving specifics, so does your defense of Hillary also apply to Trump?

Why?

It's made Trump the #1 candidate out there in a span of less than a month. Every other candidate would love to be in his position. The reason they aren't? They have nothing to say.

Trump is polling#1 against other Republicans in the primary.

Hillary is polling ahead of Trump in the general election. Hillary is ahead of all the other Republicans in the general.

Hillary is still the #1 candidate.

Hillary runs from interviews while Trump is willing to answer question after question even his critics in the media have given him credit in this regard.
