Hillary Clinton angers Iowa fans who waited hours for five-minute speech
Hillary Clinton left her audience cold in Iowa City on Thursday night, after she spoke for less than five minutes to a crowd of more than a thousand people, some of whom had lined up for more than an hour to see her.

She actually got a crowd of 1000 supporters? Then left them after speaking 5 minutes??? Taking people for granted.
She is off the rails.

Even if you wanted to lose the election you couldn't do a better job. Just strange behavior from her entire camp. smh

It was like a political commercial, said Allison Steigerwald, a 24-year-old graduate student at the university. I thought she was saying goodbye to Demi and then shed start her speech. But it never happened.
It was very short, said Jennifer Marks, 22. There were a lot of statements. Like: We are we going to make things happen. Marks said. No actual how.
I just feel bad for the people who got here at five, she said.
Clinton made no mention of Sanders, or the CNN/ORC poll released on Thursday which showed the Vermont senator leading her by 51% to 43% in Iowa.
She took the stage at about 8.15pm, after Lovato had performed three songs from her recent album Confident.

Internal polls must be grim.
