Hillary Clinton to delay the launch of her campaign.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll launch the campaign when I'm damn good and ready."

Hillary Clinton, expecting no major challenge for the Democratic nomination, is strongly considering delaying the formal launch of her presidential campaign until July, three months later than originally planned, top Democrats tell POLITICO. 

The delay from the original April target would give her more time to develop her message, policy and organization, without the chaos and spotlight of a public campaign.

A Democrat familiar with Clinton’s thinking said: “She doesn’t feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.” 

Advisers said the biggest reason for the delay is simple: She feels no rush. 

“She doesn’t want to feel pressured by the press to do something before she’s ready,” one adviser said. “She’s better off as a noncandidate. Why not wait?” 

Okay I am of two minds on this.

On the one hand, I hate a tease.

On the other hand if she waits long enough the Republicans may destroy each other and she will gain the White House completely unopposed. 

Of course she is clearly already running a campaign, it is just all behind the scenes and secretive which also makes me a little uncomfortable.

I guess personally I feel Hillary should stop fucking around and actually launch the campaign and hope for a Democratic challenger to help her sharpen her game before she bitchslaps Jeb Bush into retirement.

But hey, that's just me.

Thoughts?
