If you’re wondering why the Democratic Party’s presumed 2016 nominee has been quiet lately, you’re not alone.
Hillary Clinton has answered only seven questions from the media since announcing her run for president.
Zach C. Cohen of National Journal:
Here Are All Seven Media Questions Hillary Clinton Has Answered During Her CampaignMost of the media questions Clinton has answered have focused on policy (the exact type of inquiry she recently encouraged reporters to focus on). They’ve touched on ongoing trans-Pacific trade negotiations, campaign finance, and foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation…Here are all seven:Question 1: “Secretary Clinton, your reaction please to these book allegations? Did foreign entities receive any special treatment for making any kind of donations to the foundation or your husband?”—ABC in Keene, New Hampshire, April 20Clinton: “Well, we’re back into the political season, and therefore we will be subjected to all kinds of distraction and attacks. And I’m ready for that. I know that that comes unfortunately with the territory. It is, I think, worth noting that the Republicans seem to be talking only about me. I don’t know what they’d talk about if I weren’t in the race. But I am in the race, and hopefully we’ll get on to the issues, and I look forward to that.”Question 2: “…Regarding the play for pay allegations in the latest book, emails back in 2012.”— WMUR, a local ABC affiliate in New HampshireClinton: “You know, those issues are, in my view, distractions from what this campaign should be about, what I’m going to make this campaign about, and I’ll let other people decide what they want to talk about. I’m going to talk about what’s happening in the lives of the people of New Hampshire and across America. Thank you, all.”

This is a pattern.
When Mrs. Clinton isn’t avoiding questions from the press, she just blows them off.
Here she is avoiding a question about Baltimore:
Here she is avoiding a question about immigration:
Here she is avoiding a question about her email server scandal:
Here’s the biggest question of all: Why is the media allowing her get away with this?
I guess we all know the answer to that question though, right?
