CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Ignoring her primary challengers, Hillary Rodham Clinton focused instead on the expanding field of Republican contenders as she and her fellow Democrats tried to impress influential party activists in Iowa.

The fundraising face-off for the benefit of the state party came Friday night as the Democratic primary fight — long assumed to be just short of a coronation for Clinton — appeared to be heating up into a slightly more serious contest. In recent weeks, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has risen in the polls and packed arenas with voters eager to hear the message of the self-described socialist who's become Clinton's chief rival.

But rather than confront her most immediate political obstacle in a crucial primary state, Clinton took aim at the other party, vowing to never let Republicans "rip away the progress" made during the Obama administration.

"Trickle-down economics has to be one of the worst ideas of the 1980s," Clinton said, evoking Republican policy from the Reagan era. "It is right up there with New Coke, shoulder pads and big hair."..............

2. Good speech - being a Democratic FUNDraiser, I'm glad she concentrated on....

.....the republican party and their horrible policies instead of "politicking".

Great job.

3. "Coronation"? Anyone who says that is just being a lazy, disingenous soundbyter.

Hillary has come back from defeat and she knows nothing is "inevitable".. she's all about the work.

Same with those pols or anyone who throws "dynasty" her way. It's demeaning and sexist. And, a little bit stupid.

4. Hillary doesn't need coronation but I heard Bernie is looking for coronation.

He is short on issues to talk about and Hillary continues to jump out ahead of hi. And it leaves Bernie in the dust.
