HRC to SPI

Posted in:

* This rumor was raging all day yesterday. No official confirmation yet, but here’s Michael Sneed

Top tip!

Sneed is told Hillary Clinton just penned in a morning rally in Springfield on Wednesday, before she heads to Chicago for a fundraiser at the North Shore home of Laura Ricketts.

Police sources say they’ve been told to expect the visit. And word was that it’ll be at the Old State Capitol. But, again, nobody has yet confirmed that it’s actually happening.

…Adding… I just got a message from the Clinton campaign confirming the visit. However, “Details are still coming together,” I was told.

…Adding More… From the campaign…

Hillary Clinton will travel to Springfield, Illinois on Wednesday, July 13 for an event to discuss building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.

Additional details on the event will be released soon.

  7. Sweet!

    “Sweet?! Why?”

    At least some national exposure, because after Labor Day, Illinois is likely a flyover state.

  11. Not sure if using the same backdrop as Obama did when he announced is such a good idea, seems that it would just lead to comparisons that she can’t win.

    We are not gonna be flyover, Trump said he is going to win Illinois, it’s gonna be competitive, really, (can’t even type that with a straight face)

  17. OW @10:03. If Hillary exposes herself, then Trump might have a chance in Illinois.

  20. -Been There: Hah! Forgot about that as it was foreshadowed by her husband’s meeting with Loretta Lynch the same day, as well as the release of the Benghazi report the next day, and her questioning by the FBI — oh, never mind, you know the rest. Busy lying lady.

  21. Hilarious post on SJR—-HRC will fly in to Springfield on Wednesday, her nose will arrive on Tuesday.

    And RNUG makes a great point, get the security money up front, this political party has a, um, tendency to stiff cities that way.
