The Hillary Clinton campaign has been slowly imploding for months — and now it looks like the Democratic Party is making one more push to save it.
The Iowa Democratic Party recently announced that it would be holding a last-minute town hall for Democratic candidates on January 25, just days before the Iowa caucuses.
The event, which will feature Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is being billed as one last chance for voters to get to know the candidates. But several media outlets, including Vanity Fair, are reporting that the event is really designed to be a “saving grace” for Clinton.
The Democratic National Committee, which is run by the former co-chair of Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, has long been criticized for attempting to tip the nomination in Clinton’s favor. The number of debates has been limited, and many of the events have been held at odd times to discourage viewership.
The idea was to let Clinton ride out what had once been a formidable lead. But now Clinton is facing the very real prospect of losing in Iowa — and suddenly the Democratic Party is changing its tune and holding more events to help her shore up support.
A recent CNN/ORC poll found that Sanders has opened up an 8-point lead over Clinton among likely Iowa caucus-goers. That represents a sharp reversal of fortune for Clinton, whose lead had been in the double-digits for months.
And multiple polls have shown that Clinton may be set to lose big in New Hampshire, the next contest after Iowa.
So it’s looking more like the Iowa town hall isn’t just a last chance for voters to hear from candidates — it may be a least chance for Clinton’s campaign to stave off early disaster.

jason george says
even if Sanders were to win Iowa and NH, where else is he going to win?
Arnold Gore says
Sanders is trusted wherever he is known, and he is getting known in many states now, despite a relative blackout and marginalization by mainstream media and the Democratic Party Leadership, Greater focus on income inequality is popular all over.

Everywhere else
Jc says
They should start thinking about who’s going to bail her out of jail.
anita says
the Bitch should have gone to Prison a long time ago ,but the Idiotic Democrats are too stupid to admit what a crooked Bitch the Clinton Bitch s ,but soon her ass will be exposed for what she is and her Ass will be put away behind Bars ,her old man should join her there for attacking those Women years ago ,but the Idiot Democrats covered their asses then too ,but one day soon justice will prevail ,Obama is in on the Benghazy cover up ,once that crooked bastard leaves the Whitehouse all that will come out ,but he is covering her and his ass in the mean time , but we will get to the truth then ,the rats will be exposed soon ,
Cowboy says
Obama,, will never leave the White House.. He’s there to stay unless the ones that can impeach him will hurry and do it.. Never have I ever seen so many cowards in my life.. Bring him to Texas and we’ll show them how it’s done..
Pat says
Hillary should have gone to prison many years ago when she was a lawyer and had Vince Foster murdered in that land deal. The man was found in a park. There was no dust or dirt on the bottom of his shoes because he did not walk into the park, rather he was carried there, and already dead ! She is just an old criminal hippie.
Gary Smith says
AMEN!
Hunnee says
They released Patarus to cover the letting her go.
Jess Muniz says
This country is so corrupt. we have a coke user queer for a President, a man for a first lady, first lady Michael Johnson, Bill Clinton drug smuggler, coke sniffing low life, Hillary, a lesbian coke user criminal. Now Obama is letting all the radical, violent refugees in from the middle east to gang rape all the European women and draining the welfare system from all the countries they settle on. A hateful generation of Muslim youths spoiled and out of control and they hate everyone who doesn’t believe in Allah and want us to be put into the beliefs of the traditional outdated customs of the past. I guess the only option we have left is Donald Trump.
Cowboy says
I can’t understand why every news dept. has turned against TRUMP.. He is the one that can turn this country around,, but ALL THE NEWS MEDIA HAS TURNED AGAINST HIM.
nj says
At least it won’t be Hillary! This is so discouraging. I’m not thrilled about ANYONE in either party. I’m most in line with what Trump SAYS but track record for electees doing what they say is negligible.
Does anyone have suggestions for any alternate candidate? Someone born here with parents who are citizens. Someone who has a reasonable resume of honest and proven achievements.
PLEASE, name them and let’s try and draft them.
So please, name and why!
Let’s stop bitching and DO something.
Jack Wilt says
ABC – anybody but Clinton
rodney says
Well not Sanders nor Joe Biden IK! Hilary? not now , not ever. Jail is the place she needs to be.
Gary Smith says
AMEN
Tom Bostock says
I don’t trust her and lost all respect for her when she said “what does it matter” during the Benghazi fiasco. I question whether she has the integrity to lead this country now. The “Clinton Foundation,” misuse of emails and several other issues continue to cloud my perception of her legitimacy as a presidential candidate. I have always voted the candidate and not the party and will continue to do so in the future.
rodney says
Yes and now you see which candidate is NOT fit to be leader of anything due to her corruption and utter contempt for America and our values
Johnny roy says
Thoroughly Agree
Gene says
It makes me ill to hear people say they are “independent” or they vote for the person, not the party. Understand, for 150 years now, our government has been run by one of two political parties. Obama could not do all of the damage he has done without the Democrat Party behind him. The Democrat Party has since Woodrow Wilson, pushed this country towards their big government agenda, and they are anxious to continue to bring in hordes of foreigners who will, within a generation, completely change our culture and push us towards socialism. Therefore, it is not any badge of honor to ignore political parties.
People like Tom Bostock should wake up and smell the coffee.
Conjetta Condra says
Most voters are not affiliated with any political party, just as I am not. I classify myself as a conservative and I DO vote for the candidate. Therefore, I have been known to vote for Democrats–although not lately. We have a two-party system because the elite of BOTH parties have a vested interest in squashing a third party. We have not had a successful third party since the Republican Party was founded. The TEA Party has had some success electing people to Congress, but some of them have turned out to be wolves in sheeps’ clothing. One good example is Mark Kirk (R-IL) who was elected to ObeyMe’s seat six years ago. He is such a RINO that he should just come out of the closet and declare himself a Democrat. Another is Joni Ernst who was supported by the TEA Party and has become a RINO-in-training. 2016 may be the year that the TEA Party and conservatives are very successful at the polls. Both parties are completely untrustworthy and more people are leaning toward the conservative position after the fiasco of the past seven years.
Joy Ann Roberts says
I believe that she has had several strokes and is of diminished capacity … she is old and worn out and it is taking it’s toll on her …. BUT there are those who will still vote for her because of who she is, and not examine WHAT SHE IS !!!!!
rottenrollin says
Have no question.
She had no integrity.
Main Street says
Bernie is doing a good deed if he defeats her in N.H. and IA. Many Democrats like myself are voting for Sanders in the state primary and Trump in November.
rodney says
so even Democrats are wising up to the corruption in the communist party. Past time you saw the light. Only O’Malley has values even CLOSE to what democrats are supposed to have. A communist and a socialist running for president in a Federal Republic? Something is VERY wrong with this picture?
Joy Ann Roberts says
I truly believe that there will be NO ELECTION come November … THAT is why they have that old hag and that older fugly old man and someone no one knows as their candidates …. they don’t NEED to have good candidates for the voters to choose from, because before the election, the o turd will declare martial law and refuse to release the rainbow house back to the people !!!!!!! he is importing those terrorists for a REASON, and he is also fomenting the hatred between blacks and Whites for a reason …. get a race war going, throw in some invaders and voila !!! YOU HAVE THE PERFECT RECIPE FOR MARTIAL LAW !!! that is why the big push for gun confiscation … a disarmed population is a dead population !!!!!
Conjetta Condra says
Several of us think that. Great minds think alike. He will allow or create a situation in which he can declare martial law. He will cancel elections, suspend the Constitution, and disband Congress. Does anyone know where the second Alamo will take place. I want to be there.
Gary Smith says
You are correct
mike says
Finally an intelligent person. Good for you and I hope many democrats feel the same way. America does not need her an billy boy back in the White House
Alan Humphries says
They’ll hand pick and thoroughly vet the audience and give them the questions to ask the wrechted Queen.Hildabeast will have several days to practice her vile answers and the Communist News Network(CNN) will be getting their thrill on of how wonderful the beast is. Makes me want to puke.
Herc G Enriquez says
I still strongly believed that Hillary is the right choice to lead the country. Not only that she has a good education, she also has the longest & best experience in a high level public service needed for a US president. What makes her stronger is that she has Bill Clinton who can serve as her best adviser 24/7. Imagine the good benefits the country can get with Hillary’s presidency!
Joy Ann Roberts says
are you serious ??? really ?!??
JIM BARBER says
You must be completely insane or on the government dole.
Conjetta Condra says
Or an illegal voting illegally.
Jc says
She’s a lying, cheating, conniving, woman hating POS. What they SHOULD be contemplating is who is going to bail her filthy *ss out of jail.
Linda says
Are you delusional? there are many other highly educated people running for the Presidency. See, its people like you that vote and are part of the reason our country is going to hell in a hand basket. Watch the news will you.
anita says
herc enriquez ,you are a stupid idiot ,you are too stupid to see the light on the Clintons ,are you on entitlements ??? it sure sounds like it
Pat says
Read the comments. Hillary is directly responsible for having many murdered, and you want her for President ?
Mary Jane says
Herc Enriquez go see 13 hours the Movie, Hillary and Obama did nothing to save those people., Air base only 20 minutes away. Oh bring tissues, you will need them.
Gary Smith says
What are you smoking?
Gwen says
First of all she is a Clinton and second “What Does It Matter….well it certainly does MATTER especially to the families who lost their family members. She is a Liar. People need who are Democrats need to vote for Sanders in Primaries and Trump or Cruz in November. God Save this Nation……We are in Hell right now, and yes if she is elected it will be worse than you will ever imagine for every single American no matter how you affiliate yourself.
Larry342516 says
Tell me who in their right mind would vote for Hillary. Who would be crazy enough to Trust her as a President. She is another Obama over and over, and wants to destroy the rights/morals of the American people just like Obama has done.
Conjetta Condra says
Brain-dead Obama zombies, illegals, and the dead.
Jc says
They should be thinking about who is going to bail her filthy *ss out of jail.
Hunnee says
The current “Presidents” mob can do anything they want, make any documents they and get the yes people to say it is legal(only 24 hours old) I have to much to say. But the thing most glaring thing out of nowhere is the pardon Paterus for girlfriend talk, (great something right) they can use that to free her.
The powers within can manufacture any fabrications they want , look how long it took to get copy of a
Registered birth certificate for O’B
Mike says
No one trusts Hillary and for good reasons. She belongs incarcerated for all the damage she has done to this country. Also, Bernie Sanders is a bit outlandish in his views and I won’t even mention the Ex-Gov of MD…the DEMS have no one to run that is good enough. Maybe they had better think of whom to draft instead of these three people who have monopolized the Stage so far . Trump seems to have the upper hand at the moment…HRC is an embarrassment to the Democratic PArty and bernie Sanders is way too far left..O MAlley should just go home…
Conjetta Condra says
I think some pundits are correct when they predict that the Hildabeast’s campaign will implode, and that the Demolcommies will slip “Bumbling Joe” Biden or Elizabeth “Kemosabe” Warren in at the convention.
patricia needham says
Hillary is as crooked as a tree branch. She is trying to buy her way out of being prosecuted as a traitor. It’s as simple as that. Her husband Bill is just as guilty for trying to get away with inappropriate conduct as a president. Does anyone really think it would be any diferent with her in office. They are two of a kind, neither to be trusted, adored, or in charge in anything that has to do with this great country.
Conjetta Condra says
My husband would have said “Crooked as a dog’s hind leg.” but I understand what you mean.
D. Lee Johnson says
democrat, republican: tweedle dee and tweedle dum. It’s the Corporate influence that is the core of the problem. There are two, (well, one and a half) anti-corporate candidates running: Sanders and Trump. The rest of the field are ALL 100% bought and paid for as their public records indicate; just do the research.
Conjetta Condra says
How do you figure Trump is an anti-corporate candidate. For heaven’s sake, he RUNS a corporation–Trump Enterprises! Why do you think he can afford to finance his own campaign?! I am more likely to trust Ted Cruz–and I’m not sure about him. The only thing I know for sure is that I will NOT be voting for Comrade Sanders!
Ronald Jarvis Sr says
Are the American people going to put some such as Hillary Clinton back in the white house who has been lie in to the people of this country ever step of the way, I think not if my vote has anything to do with keeping her out and away from our governing body. Wake up people before it’s to late or is it already too late???
Justin W says
Voters already know Hillary Clinton. That’s the problem. Hillary is probably the best known presidential candidate in recent memory. A large number of voters are familiar with the failings and corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
At this point it is hard to believe Hillary could say anything to change people’s opinion of her. She’s corrupt. She’s incompetent. Her worldview is one I don’t agree with. Unlike Hillary, I have a problem with supporting an industry that has grown rich slaughtering babies. Unlike Hillary, my moral compass is the Bible not public opinion polls.
Conjetta Condra says
If her lips are moving, she is LYING. Therefore, the only way to help her candidacy is to KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT.
Ronald Jarvis Sr says
This is the problem with this country, the people try to speak out and you fools will not show ,print and make possible for other to see and read the postings!!!!!!!

On our national Political scene
Trump is NOT a true Republican, he is just using the Grand Old Pukes as a vehicle to the Oval Office. This party
Has not had a positive thought since
that day in Michigan under an Oak Tree when a few hard headed old
Farmers got together to form the GOP,
during which by some accounts, there
was so much negative thoughts thrown out, that ended up in fist fights, the disagreeable attitude has
continued to today. You couldn’t get 2
Republicans at the same meeting, to
Agree on the time of day or for that
Matter, what day of the week it is.
Thru the years, it’s always been said,
There is only 2 people more disagree-
able than a republican farmer:
1. An IRISH republican FARMER

Donald Trump was not my first choice but now is my only choice. He is the only one who can, if elected, repair the damage done to this country by the likes of O’Bama, Clinton(s) , Harry Reid, Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shummer and the lame Cabinet Members appointed by O’Bama. Trump is obligated to no one and will appoint good Cabinet members selected by his own Corporation and not those lifers known as the Republican establishment who are afraid he will get elected. The best thing Trump could do, if on the night he gets the nomination, is to tell the people in attendance, .”I want you to meet Mitt Romney.”….Romney has the governing experence to run our domestic agenda while Trump kicks the ass of every foreign leader who has been screwing the US for years….Please God, I am 78 years old and would like to see a great President before I die…..
