“It’s not about emails or servers either”.

Senator Sanders, who follows Clinton in the Iowa polls but recently edged her numbers in New Hampshire, came out with enthusiasm and asked supporters to engage in what he calls a “political revolution”.
“But here’s what I won’t do: I won’t get down in the mud with them”.
U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Hill Republicans created the House Select Committee on Benghazi to probe the events that led up to the 2012 attack, an investigation increasingly focused on the former Secretary of State – particularly after news broke that she exclusively used a personal email for work and circumvented policies mandating official accounts for record-keeping purposes. Republicans assert she was negligent in handling the nation’s secrets.
“No one will fight harder to end racism in America”, he said.
Other Republicans hit Clinton over the remark.
Clinton also ripped the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision that allowed conservative lobbying group Citizens United to produce the attack film “Hillary: The Movie”.
“I did not want money coming into my campaign or a super PAC from millionaires and billionaires. I’ve been fighting for families and underdogs my entire life, and I’m not going to stop now”, Clinton added. “I love it”, she said.
“And a note to Gov. Branstad: Rather than cutting education, we increased our funding education”, O’Malley said to cheers.
Clinton was willing to play politics when talking about Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP field.
Activists like Lisa Brighton of Mason City, Iowa, welcomed Clinton’s defense.
The former Rhode Island governor says when he takes the soapbox in the afternoon he’ll extoll his executive experience and his plans for the future. “She comforted us”, Brighton said. The students would have to keep their GPA at or above 2.5 to qualify.
The event also included speeches from Democratic presidential rivals Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and Lincoln Chafee. What really got crowd reaction was his talk about a “grassroots” campaign.
As for O’Malley, he told the Detroit News what he’d do next. It’s everything you and I believe in.
Clinton was campaigning near Wisconsin on Friday.
Democratic longshot Martin O’Malley re-upped his efforts to win Iowa, launching his “Rebuild the American Dream” tour at the Iowa State Fair Thursday.
