She can't argue policy and platform. She can't run on being honest. She can't run on ethics. She can't run on morals. She can't run on values.
She at least has "hope and change" left

Again, Chris Wallace, Fox News. All the so-called "hard questions" were asked.
At a press conference, Clinton would choose who got to ask questions.
Are you really naive enough to think she would call on anyone that would ask a question she wasn't prepped for?
Wow.
Trump looked like a "world leader" to you? Standing beside the Mexican flag while the Mexican President refuted and denied every spurious claim that Trump has ever made, TO HIS FACE, and Trump stood there and nodded?
There wasn't even a US flag there.
He didn't look like a President ... he looked like a kid that was being made to stand in front of the class.

I love the Mexican people, but Mexico is not our friend. They're killing us at the border and they're killing us on jobs and trade. FIGHT!

When all you have left is nonsensical insults which don't even make sense, you've already lost.

LOL ... I haven't claimed she's done press conferences.
I don't imagine that will stop you trying to pretend that I have, though.
She gives interviews, one-on-one. The last one Trump did he looked like a buffoon and Pense looked like furniture.
Keep on spewing the party line though ...
Problem with one on one interviews is they have to agree not to discuss certain topics. If they refuse they don't get the interview one on one's is very safe for a candidate. They tell them what they want to discuss. Press confrences are diffrent they are unscripted. And the candidate has no idea what the press may ask in fact the press goes out if there way to ask questions that will make the news. Beca use it gives them notuerity when it says so and so from whatever network asked this. Don't pretend a scripted interview is the same it's not.
She has been avoiding thr press and they even know it I read an article that tried to claim it was a campaign strategy to run out the clock. But here's the problem people see Trump they don't see Hillary. The more press Trump gets the more he can damage Hillary. She better wise up quickly or she will lose look at thr turn around in the polls. People have very short memories and new information can change perceptions. For example people seeing Trump in Mexico talking to a world leader. He didn't make any mistakes and handled it professionally. People notice things like that.
As far as the thread I don't agree with certain groups that consider themselves alt right but calling them racist is a stretch. And I can't believe her campaign is going to walk thus path seems stupid to me she's fighting a non existent group. There is no alternative right only groups that consider themselves not normal republicans. Thus label almost applies to all republican groups since they believe many diffrent things.

You apparently know nothing about either diplomacy or negotiating.
You don't understand global money flow either. He doesn't need to do much of anything to get Mexico to pay for the wall.
I'm a nice chap so I'm going to help you out and offer a moment of education for someone who doesn't understand how things work.
There's this thing called remittance. In 2014 Mexican immigrants sent 24.4 Billion to Mexico. Trump has estimated the cost of a wall at 10-12 billion. Say it takes 4 years to build. There will be over 100 Billion in remittances sent to Mexico during that period given increased migration since 2014. So you tax it at a 10-12% rate, wall gets built, Mexico in all reality does pay for it but does so without writing a check, at zero extra cost to their government. Wall would likely take longer so the tax rate could be even less.
You're welcome.
It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year.

Do you even know how diplomacy works?
I know you guys are used of bombing everything and everyone that disagrees with you, but please, use some common sense.

Did you even listen to his speech, or did you just get your false info from your mainstream sources? Because everything you just said is not true.
HOLY, maybe you can't see it, but I'm absolutely certain that everyone can see what a bunch of rubbish you have written right now.
I won't waste my time discussing this topic, with someone who is not interested in real life.

Mexico's court system corrupt.I want nothing to do with Mexico other than to build an impenetrable WALL and stop them from ripping off U.S.

The Mexican legal system is corrupt, as is much of Mexico. Pay me the money that is owed me now - and stop sending criminals over our border
