Colbert would’ve asked her questions. On Fallon, she can just “slow jam” the news.

I was gonna say that. Fawning Fallon will keep it sweet and breezy.
(I think mine is better)

A Lip Sync Battle with Fallon would be Hilary’s to lose.

Do the candidates have to pick one late night show over another? Is that some sort of thing now? Why not go on both at different times? We have more than a whole fucking year before anyone even votes. I don’t get any of this ridiculousness, at all.

Of course you do.
Colbert could trap her into answering a question but Fallon loves everybody and will give her a pass. Even thought I don’t believe she has anything to hide.

I love Colbert but if I were running for anything I wouldn’t go on his show while it was brand new. Or any host’s new show. I’d want a chance to see how he treats guest on the new show so I’d know better what to expect.
I expect his style might change at least slightly being himself and not playing a parody of a talk host.

Whimpy decision. She lost to Obama because she was too cautious by half in her campaign, and she seems to be doing the same this time around.

Bullshit, dear.
She’ll end up on both, and maybe Kimmel too by the time this is all over.

It was just a joke. You know, it’s always about eustace.
Yes, she has nothing to hide but has to stop handing out nine page “explainers” about ServerGate and please stop with the “we’re so sorry”. You know, the butter wouldn’t melt so I put it in the pie.
Fallon is much more mainstream (and more conservative.)
It is a calculated move to the bigger audience of voters she can INFLUENCE to vote for her.
Your typical Colbert/Late Show watcher is already firmly in Bernie’s camp, so why waste the airtime on them?
Plus, you NEVER, EVER follow another candidate and BUSH is on Colbert’s premiere show with Bernie on next week.

This is news? Seriously?

Well yes, I do want to know what she’s going to wear. Doesn’t everybody?
I agree and she is trying to get away from it but the media. They need this story and we know the do the GOPers work for them
That’s a very good point but I doubt all of Colbert’s viewers are so entrenched in Bernie that they would not vote for her.

Her entire team needs to be dragged out back to the woodshed and slapped about a little bit. We can show them the saw horse and the maul and make some suggestive comments.
Seriously…more evidence that she’s pandering to the conservative middle,not wanting to offend them by appearing with the guy who parodied the right? YAWN. She’s gonna “careful” this into a loss.
Yeah, now there’s a talking point we should hope the Teatrolls don’t latch onto.

Where does it say she can’t go on both shows?
And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and I’ll be saying it as Clinton concedes Coakley-style: she doesn’t just need to “influence” people who are on the fence. She needs to MOTIVATE her own base. Treating progressives and liberals as a foregone conclusion is why I watched giant funny Bernie Sanders heads floating on poles through Phish’s 50,000 people crowd at their festival this year, while not a single reference to Clinton could be found. Her silence ALIENATES that base and it’s why he’s getting energy while she languishes under the MSM’s deliberate pall of email nontroversy.

“Pandering to conservatives.” Hardly, as someone else pointed out, she would have to answers serious questions with Colbert. Fallon want everyone to like him and most of his routines have become tiresome already.
She can, but going on Fallon would be like appearing on the Today Show and Colbert would be a lot closer to sitting down with Rachel Maddow.

Bad move.
