“There’s no law that says a presidential candidate has to hold a press conference if they don’t want to. They don’t have to if they can get away with it. Maybe that’s the political calculation, but there is a tradition there of candidates coming forward, taking questions from anyone in the press who wants to ask them, being hit with whatever question happens to come to them, and having to deal with it on the spot. ...That is the tradition of the press conference. It’s one that Hillary Clinton has not had much enthusiasm for though."As I've been saying since well before she announced her candidacy, the more she speaks, the more she'll lie, and the worse her numbers will get. Of course she has no "enthusiasm" for it. That would be like "having enthusiasm" for putting your hand on a hot plate. Burning yourself isn't fun and, if Hillary actually faces some tough questions, that's the only possible outcome.
