The Republican National Committee is looking for Hillary Clinton. Which is why, according to a memo they've sent to the press, they're asking, “Where’s Hillary?”
"We’ve noticed it. You’ve noticed it: Hillary Clinton is hiding," reads the memo from Sean Spicer, communications director. "Potential Republican presidential candidates are out in public, speaking to voters, and sharing their ideas. But Hillary Clinton is nowhere to be found."
Well, we do know she tweeted.
Hillary’s only public appearances in 2015 have been in Canada. And in the previous year, almost every public appearance she made came with huge speaking fees—a quarter million dollars or more and, of course, a private jet.
As some of you have experienced first hand, when reporters are actually permitted to cover Mrs. Clinton, they are mistreated and even followed into the bathroom.
Why would a would-be presidential candidate behave this way? Because she’s made a strategic decision that the only way to ensure she is the Democratic nominee is to make everyone think she’s inevitable. The last time she had to face voters and actually compete for the nomination, she lost to a newcomer. She doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice.
As her poll numbers show, when Hillary is campaigning, she’s much less popular. What’s the only way not to seem like she’s campaigning? Go into hiding.
Here’s a rundown of just how secretive she’s been:
Days since last press conference: 202 Days since she’s done an interview: 184 Days since she’s been in Iowa: 103 Days since she’s been in New Hampshire: 100 Days since she’s done an event that didn’t require significant speaking fees: 69
At the RNC, we’re going to keep asking, “Where’s Hillary?” You will see more from us in the coming days and weeks.
Other Democrats and their supporters aren’t running from the public. Martin O’Malley has been visiting the early primary states. Ready for Warren continues to ramp up. Even Bernie Sanders has hit the trail.
But where’s Hillary? If she wants to lead the American people, surely she can face the American people.

Stop trying to make the Ferguson protests something they weren’t. And, just as importantly, stop trying to make Michael Brown, the man shot to death during a fight with police Office Darren Wilson in August, something he wasn’t.
“If you look at the most credible evidence, the lessons are really basic ... don’t rob a convenience store. Don’t fight with a policeman when he stops you and try to take his gun. And when he yells at you to stop, just stop.”
On a serious note, I have to laugh at how short term peoples memories are. Just a little over two months ago it was reported that Hitlary was going to rehab because she is a drunk. That is exactly where she is right now....
EXCLUSIVE! BOOZY HILLARY CLINTON SECRET REHAB SHOCKER
A “boozed-up” Hillary Clinton suffered a secret collapse during a recent vacation – and now worried advisers want her to do a secret stint in rehab before her White House run!
Sources close to the former First Lady and ex-Secretary of State revealed the hush-hush “Rehab Before White House” plan to The National ENQUIRER in advance of Hillary’s formal announcement to be a 2016 presidential candidate, touted for early next year.
A high-level insider told The ENQUIRER: “Hillary’s social drinking has gone out of control!
“In a hushed-up incident, Hillary was too tipsy one night and suffered a secret collapse. One insider said she was ‘boozed-up!’
“Fortunately, she was okay, but no matter how much alcohol she had, it was a clear signal that she needs professional help.”
“Bill, in particular, who wants to see Hillary become president more than anybody, agreed that she must seek help – and they’ve devised a possible ‘cover story’ that she’ll take a few weeks at a ‘spa retreat,’” added another insider.
“Hillary needed to be present for daughter Chelsea giving birth. But after a few weeks of playing doting grandma for the media, they’ll place her somewhere Hillary has no say. However, a small group of trusted long-term aides have been quietly looking into which rehab facility is best for Hillary, a source divulged.
“The favorite so far is the Betty Ford Center in the California desert – but another contingency considered would be private counseling in a remote location to keep it as quiet as possible.”
Hillary has always been a drinker of wine and cocktails, but her boozing increased on long flights during her term as Obama’s Secretary of State, despite health problems.
