But im just here for the circus. With the iowa caucus right around the corner. Trump took a good portion of his hour long address to stress the importance of getting out to caucus. 12 00 12 so this is crunch time. Everyones eyes were on trump. Until a protestor held up a sign saying no hate was escorted out of the rally by police. Nats of usa jean clark. A former teacher at muscatine high bought a ticket to the trump event.

Booker and clinton spoke at Vernon Middle School this afternoon in marion.

The save the children action network, or scan for short, is on a statewide campaign to get both republicans and democrats talking about Early Childhood education. Scans focus for this election cycle is to educate voters on which candidates have a proven trackrecord for improving access and quality of education. The group has been knocking on doors and standing on the side of streets throughout iowa for while the group wont endorse a specific candidate, they do say that overall, this issue seems to be left out of the conversation. We feel like its one of the most important issues thats not talked about. 90 of the brain is developed by the age of five. 80 by the age of three. And most of the investment our country makes in children happens after their 5th birthday, so children in poverty a lot of times start school behind and dont catch up. So what we want to do, is have the candidates actually talk about how their going to invest in high quality early learning, how theyve done it in the past. 01 23 organizers say theyre hoping to make an impact on caucus night. Tomorrow night, all three democratic president ial candidates will take part in a town hall in des moines. The prime time event will be hosted by the Iowa Democratic party and drake university.

And she is the first female in the state to get it. What she earned, and what she plus. Helping hand. One group of students are giving people in need gloves, hats, and winter. Free of charge. How it has also benefited volunteers. A university of iowa sophomore the person who lives here. Has to solve problems as big as the world. And as small as your kitchen table. Thats the job. Everyday. And now, the first lady who helped get healthcare for eight million kids. The senator who helped a city rise again. The secretary of state who stood up for america, and stared down hostile leaders around the world. Is the one candidate for president who has everything it takes to do every part of the job. Shell never let anyone privatize Social Security and medicare. Or shut down planned parenthood. Shell take on the gun lobby. Finally get equal pay for women. And stop the republicans from ripping all our progress away. So on february first, stand up for hillary. Because if you want a president who knows how to keep america safe. And build a stronger economy. Hillarys the choice. Im listening to you, im fighting for you, and with your support, im going to deliver. Im Hillary Clinton george my familys lived on this farm for three generations. The Bakken Pipeline would pump dirty crude oil across iowa. Patti the fact that Bernie Sanders stands up against the pipeline is one of the reasons we support him.

Its like a huge step in someones life to join the military, to serve your country, walk on this free land because, well im not the only reason but im part of the reason everybodys able to walk to free land you know and its such an honor to feel like that and im part of it. But with the honor she tells us comes some pressure. As a female, one of the first, its very very intimidating and it is a lot of pressure so you kind of have to live up to the male poe you know . Its a challenge shes not only willing but honored to take starting with a moment and the state of iowa, and the state of iowa, against all enemies, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, foreign and domestic. Shell likely never forget. She plans to continue attending university of iowa while serving. Fog and freezing drizzle are possible late tonight as the heres the truth some have proposed to cut Social Security for the elderly and disabled vets. I disagree. In fact, not only should we not cut benefits we should expand them. My plan for Social Security increases benefits and cost of living adjustments and raises minimum payments for lowincome seniors. It will ensure that all seniors can retire with dignity and respect. You know the basic bargain of america is if you work hard, and you do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead. But so many families dont feel like their hard work pays off. Thats not the way america is supposed to operate. I want to go to bat for them every single day. Get incomes rising.

How a class project continues even after the original students graduated. The world a president has to grapple with, sometimes you cant even imagine. Thats the job. And shes prepared for it like no other. A tireless secretary of state, standing up against the abuse of women and girls. Negotiating a ceasefire in gaza, leading the diplomacy that keeps us out of war. The presidency is the toughest job in the world. And shes the one leader who has what it takes to get every part of the job done. This great country and our government belong to all of us. Wall street, corporate america, wealthy Campaign Donors have so much influence that the only way they are defeated is when millions of people begin to stand up and say loudly and clearly, enough is enough.
