You're right. Hillary can't even talk to "ordinary people" without the whole thing being staged.

Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton.
Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city.
Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour.
The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing.
Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama's 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport.

What an absurd piece! (So it makes perfect sense that whell would like it.)

Any bets on whether Bird actually said the words, "staged from beginning to end"?

And since it paints Hilly in a less than flattering light, makes perfect sense why John thinks its absurd.

And by the way, if you read really close, you won't find the "staged" reference in quotations.

Coy doesn't work for trolls. Stop trying.

The first two sentences of the piece are as follows:

Hillary Clinton's astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.

Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton.

The opening "astroturf" crack aside, the clear implication is that "staged" was Bird's characterization, not the "reporter's".

It's a bullshit hit piece from a bullshit paper.

Thee doeth protest too much, Mike. If you think any of this isn't carefully thought out on both sides in advance?

You are very, very naïve, my friend.

How about Ted Cruz's crass roll out at a mandatory attendance rally at Liberty University, Mike?

Just in case your guy is John Ellis Bush, Mike? Here's some base pandering for ya.

Hillary is well known nationwide, probably worldwide. This is image building which she really needs IMO. How else other than staging events? Best way to campaign is to be seen the most and say the least.

You're right. Better go source from a "real newspaper" like Mother Jones or HuffPo.
