5. There is no audience to be seen. To whom is she speaking, and where?

It looks like an empty auditorium where they set up a mic and a podium but there are no people.

What is this event or activity called?

When was the last time her opponent held a press conference?

10. She appeared to be alone, free associating and alone in a room.

Usually, a press conference includes a person from the press and an excerpt includes the question being asked.

It looks highly controlled and is definitely edited.

Do you happen to have a link to the full presser?

Was it even public?

and pleasant attitude. Frankly I'm sick of these guys. I can only assume they care nothing about women or women's rights. Could it be the reason they hate Hillary so much?

Someone must be getting nervous, if this kind of slander is being resorted to

It's a pity that people who have been whining that Hillary Clinton has been hiding from the press have to attack her when she DOES hold a press conference.

Meanwhile their candidate hasn't held a press conference with questions from the press since I don't know.

It's a lot easier to preach to a crowd than answer questions.

"I try, but sometimes it isn't easy.'

Sometimes? Almost always. I just hold back from posting most of the time because I'm basically a nice person and never want to be as mean and angry as they are.

BTW, I can't wait for the debates!!

Pregnancy upon a female of their choosing. Todd Akin was totally wrong in thinking a victim of rape can not and does not get pregnant. There are times when everyone should be able to see exception in cases of rape. Why an intelligent person would deny this exception does not need to be in a position of any major decisions.
