Iowa Democrats Aren’t Sure About Hillary

“Those messages disappear all by themselves”, Clinton said at the democratic Wing Ding Dinner in Iowa. They also promise to replace many provisions – but haven’t been all too forthcoming with specifics.

“I’m not prepared to close that door yet”, he said, when asked about his third-party threat. It’s in the garage. Sanders laughed and obliged.

More than a dozen presidential candidates plan to speak at The Des Moines Register’s Soapbox during the 2015 Iowa State Fair. The pandemonium followed him around for roughly an hour – and during a stop for a pork chop on a stick. Jeb bush is doubling down on defending his brother’s actions in Iraq.

And the billionaire developer, in an exclusive interview with “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV, adds the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential frontrunner, is in so much trouble she will eventually have to end her campaign.

He assailed the group for performing what he called partial-birth abortions and for using fetal tissue for “research and other types of nefarious things”.

The center says the videos show that Planned Parenthood illegally sells fetal tissue for profit. But on the stump, retired neurosurgeon and GOP candidate Ben Carson comes alive.

The leading Republican presidential candidate arrived in a helicopter, landing at athletic fields just over a mile away. “But I just don’t want to close that door yet”, Trump said. “I think it may be one of the dumbest statements I’ve ever heard”.

But Trump noted that Clinton has recovered from trouble in the past.

Walking through the Agriculture Building – past showcases of the thickest carrots, roundest beets and biggest heads of iceberg lettuce – Clinton made her way to the famed butter cow.

“Nice to be here!”

Hillary Clinton’s Snapchat is now up and running, a point she made clear at a recent fundraiser in Iowa, and for the embattled Democratic candidate for the presidential nomination, it was an easy way to break ice with a little humor.

The Washington Post reported earlier this week that “The e-mail server used by Hillary Rodham Clinton when she served as secretary of state was turned over to the FBI”, and “In addition to obtaining the old server, the FBI recently obtained a thumb drive in the possession of Clinton’s lawyer”. Clinton plans to hit the Iowa fair on Saturday, though she has not formally announced any plans to climb atop the soapbox.

The back-and-forth – in the same week that Clinton provided the Justice Department her private email server – suggests that trusted Clinton aides may also face scrutiny over emails and records in their possession.

For Clinton, the fair will test her retail-politics skills, as critics and rivals have painted her as an impersonal and aloof politician who is unable to connect with voters. But it was Trump who sent ripples of excitement through the crowds that meandered through the fair, sampling turkey legs, bacon-wrapped ribs and red velvet funnel cake, dusted with powdered sugar. And, let’s face it, if Trump fades his support will go to anybody but Bush. Despite the appeals, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said that Trump will continue to finance the campaign, but has “been overwhelmed by unsolicited contributions”. Given that candidates in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary tend to benefit heavily from enthusiastic grassroots organizing, it is possible to imagine Sen. One would never know that Santorum had won the Republican caucuses in this state four years ago as he walked through the fairgrounds uninhibited. “What I want to do is make the country great”, he told CNN. “We cannot wait to any extent further”.

With Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin at her side as a validator, Hillary Clinton said Saturday that the email controversy surrounding her is all political, it’s not a matter that interests voters, and it won’t be a shadow that hurts her in the general election.
