Already, she s in south carolina tomorrow. the president has been there. thanks one and all. tomorrow, join cnn for special coverage of the iowa caucuses with the best reporting and analysis. 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, only here on cnn. a donald trump moment you might have missed this week that could have profound implications for the next four years and beyond. that s next.
