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.
After a day marred by a new poll showing Bernie Sanders leading her by eight points in Iowa, Clinton might have been expected to go for broke during a rally at the University of Iowa, which featured a performance by popstar Demi Lovato.
But Clinton did not refer to the Vermont senator, or much else, in her speech. The lack of length and substance of her address appeared to upset some in the crowd.
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.
