It’s unclear what will be the long-term consequences, if any, of Clinton’s choice. “They may have some fresh faces, but they are the party of the past”. Yet her absence, and the hard feelings it is causing, once more point to Clinton’s difficult relationship with her party’s base.

Other than her last name and big donors, the only advantage Hillary has is her gender. She was booed, in part over her vote supporting the Iraq war. She’s leaning toward Sanders this year.

Palmieri said Clinton also bears the burden of her husband’s record. “Main Street struggles while Wall Street soars”, he said.

“President Obama deserves more credit than he’s given for saving us from the great depression”, Clinton said at the rally, held in the basement of the historic Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Cedar Rapids.
