Anyway, I think Waldo is comparing Clinton, who literally disappeared for long periods during the campaign to Trump who is constantly holding rallies, even now after the election when he no longer has too.
Trump is hiding. No press conferences and answering questions. Rally's don't matter. Does he take questions....no. So who cares about rallies. I don't want my president elect to go on a thank you tour in states that elected him. I want him to address the people of america and tell us exactly what his plan is for us. I want him to stop with the twitter rants and have a press conference. So far I can only think of Orwell's 1984 as Trump's America.

Why should Trump give ANY accommodation to the TV teleprompter monkeys who have done nothing but attack him starting with the nonsense he wasn't even a real candidate for President? They lie and distort everything about Trump and anyone who doesn't see this by now has their head stuck in the sand. Even on election day, they all, close to 100%, said that he was going to lose the election. This speaks for itself.

It's the presses job to earn back accommodation from the President. Not the other way around. There is nothing in the US Constitution that compels him to hold a press conference, but if you think there is, then please cite it.

You mean, like Hillary was hiding for a year before the election? How many press conferences did she do and how many tough questions did she answer? Not many.

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton felt compelled to run for president despite lacking a clear campaign vision, Vice President Joe Biden argued in an interview published Thursday. "I don't think she ever really figured it out," Biden told the Los Angeles Times' Mike Memoli. "And by the way, I think it was really hard for her to decide to run." Biden said Clinton likely felt obliged to run for president and that the historic nature of her bid weighed on her decision-making. "She thought she had no choice but to run. That, as the first woman who had an opportunity to win the presidency, I think it was a real burden on her," Biden said. MUST WATCH That time -- actually, times -- Joe Biden ran for president02
:03

Wait a minute - Hillary Clinton HAD TO RUN???

You mean the Clintons HAD to abandon their home state of Arkansas after Bill left the White House, Hillary HAD to run for the US Senate in New York, she HAD to run against Obama in 2008, she HAD to become Secretary of State and she HAD to run again in 2016? Because she HAD no choice?!?

There is a bridge for sale in Brooklyn for people who believe that!

The other First Ladies that I remember; Nancy Reagan, Barbra Bush, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama - it would be just as historic if they had run for President. Hillary Clinton does not have a lock on history and there never was and is no obligation on her part to run.

She ran for President because she wanted to run for President.

Unfortunately for Clinton, she lacked a real message that resonated with people, which is why she lost against both a liberal Democrat and a Republican.
Biden said it, Consider the source!

One obvious indicator was Hillary's fake smiles.
Especially the ones she had while pointing to an imaginary face in the crowd.
Go back and take a look. It was all part of her practiced performance, and people saw through it.

LOL Biden.
Hillary ran because she thought she was owed the job and was getting it. The DNC did all it could to make it happen, including cheating.
The only problem, in Hillary's arrogance, she failed to realize that maybe her last name wouldn't be enough. That maybe trying to shame people into voting for her by calling them sexists, racists and xenophobes, wouldn't work.
