Clinton said the lack of bipartisanship between Democrats and Republicans blocks progress from being made.

Brooks told The Hill newspaper this week Clinton would be subject to impeachment for improperly handling classified information on her private email server while serving as secretary of state.
Todd said, “Let me start with you quickly with the one issue a lot of people had with how Democrats handled themselves”.
“Well, I had my whole team come over to my house, and we sat around eating Indian food, and drinking wine and beer”.
Throughout the hearing, Clinton defended her record on Benghazi in the face of Republican criticism.
However, in an impromptu press conference following the hearing Thursday, Gowdy told reporters that in terms of Clinton’s testimony, “I don’t know that she testified that much differently today than she has the previous times she testified”. Clinton was referring to a moment late last night when she began coughing and had to pull out a cough drop.
Clinton’s ongoing e-mail debacle was brought up during the Benghazi hearing, and will continue to be a factor. “They interrupted her and threw the kitchen sink at her”, Schumer said. “We need leadership at home to match our leadership overseas, leadership that puts national security ahead of politics and ideology”, she said, a veiled reference to the political controversy dogging the panel.
Woods attended the hearing on Thursday when Clinton testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. They argue because the operation yielded to political chaos and a power vacuum exploited by terror groups like ISIS.
Clinton will be joined by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who is making one of his first appearances on the campaign trail since his wife launched her campaign. This is a contrast to her 2013 Senate testimony where she lost her temper and asked “what difference does it make?” “I’m not in the position right now to confirm that”.
“I want to say a word about another great Democrat who has always been a champion for women and families and all of us: Vice President Joe Biden”, Clinton said. “I just had to get that off of my chest”, Cummings said, as Democrats in the room applauded.

There was more good news for Clinton on Friday, as a Quinnipiac University poll found her leading her top Democratic rival Bernie Sanders 51% to 40% among Iowa caucus goers, a day after a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll had her up seven points.
