"Clinton then tacked to a full-throated criticism of her GOP rivals on women’s issues....."

Keep on smacking those vile repugs Hillary.

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 administration’s work on the issue and promised to carry the torch if elected president. The White House launched the It’s 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 Education’s views on schools’ responsibility to combat the issue.

“I want to send a message to all of the survivors,” she said.

“Don’t 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 women’s 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 women’s 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.

Which explains why personality trumps issues for the ratings thirsty corporate and GOP friendly media.

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.

It really is getting obsessive. I am sick of Trump and all the rest of them.

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