THE POTUS FOR 2016 HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ALL BUT VANISHED IN AUGUST AS SHE DODGES HER RECORD AS A TRUE WASHINGTON INSIDER KEEPING HER RECORDS UNDER WRAPS BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION AS THE MSM IS ALL BUT WILLING TO TAKE PART IN THE SAME UNDER THE WHITE SHEET COVER - DOING THE ROPE A DOPE

Hillary Clinton is facing questions about her campaign strategy as Donald Trump laps her on the trail and tightening polls show an increasingly competitive presidential race.
The Democratic nominee nearly vanished from the campaign trail in August to attend high-end private fundraisers and to prepare for the first presidential debate on Sept. 26.
At times it has appeared that Clinton believes she can run out the clock against Trump, who fell in the polls after a disastrous stretch following the Democratic convention.
But while Clinton remains the heavy favorite, Trump has rebounded in some national and battleground polls taken in late August.
In that time, controversy has exploded over Clinton Foundation ties to the State Department. A steady drip of developments surrounding Clinton’s use of a private email server also persists, punctuated by Friday’s release by the FBI of documents pertaining to its investigation into her email set-up.
Those controversies have dragged Clinton’s already-dismal approval rating to new lows and have kept her from slamming the door shut on Trump.
“It used to look like Clinton should just spend the fall at the International Space Station watching Trump implode, but it raises the question of whether you can disappear from the campaign trail without it having some effect,” said Marquette University pollster Charles Franklin, whose Wisconsin survey found Clinton’s favorability declining across every metric.
