Clinton Corral on the Press

We all know about the O.K.  Corral in Tombstone and the famous resulting gunfight

In the East a new corral, the Clinton one made of ropes, shows the paranoia of a candidate in plain sight

Walking down the middle of a street in Gotham her staff with ropes kept the press at bay

Optics that her penchant for secrecy and dishonesty will not allay

This woman is running or in her mind awaiting a coronation to the highest office of this land

How much longer can she demands to be available to the press withstand

If I were a member of the 4^th Estate I would be shaking in my boots

A Hillary Presidency would plant the weeds of press suppression that would be hard to uproot

These reporters confined behind a moving rope are not paparazzi seeking to capture a revealing celeb shot

But political reporters trying to question a person who could be our next president who suffers from a perception of dishonesty rot

Optical images are everything and once again Hillary does not get a passing grade

What a joke, what a sense of arrogance during a Gotham 4^th of July parade

The underlying issue today and in 2016 will be can our leaders be trusted

In Hillary’s case that is an issue that her record is flawed and fatally busted
