Hillary Clinton pledged to confront rape and sexual assault on college campuses if elected president, at a Monday speech at the University of Northern Iowa.
........................
She lauded the Obama administrations work on the issue and promised to carry the torch if elected president. The White House launched the Its On Us campaign last year, targeted at ending sexual assaults on college campuses and authored a Dear Colleague letter in 2011 that spelled out the Department of Educations views on schools responsibility to combat the issue.
I want to send a message to all of the survivors, she said.
Dont let anyone silence your voice, you have the right to be heard, the right be believed, and we are with you as you go forward.
Clinton then tacked to a full-throated criticism of her GOP rivals on womens issues. She hit Donald Trump, who she referred to as the flamboyant front-runner for not respecting women; Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for his opposition to abortion rights for victims of rape and incest; former Gov. Jeb Bush for comments that he later walked back about womens health spending; and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson for questioning if circumstances arise when an abortion could save the life of a mother.
They are Trump without the pizzazz and the hair, she said of the rest of the GOP field.
I am not going to let them shame and blame women, Clinton said.

Even the CNN staff revolted against the revolting commandments of Jeff Zucker to cover the flamboyant GOP frontrunner incessantly prior to the heavily promoted CNN Debate(?) that Zucker promises to deliver 50x the regular audience to corporate advertisers, based on ad charge rates, and so they did until they all got fed up.

I don't watch that cable stuff, but every place has it.
