Clinton, who also was to appear in Dubuque later Thursday, asked Iowans to volunteer for his wife and show up for her in the Feb. 1 caucuses. He said she is the Democrat best able to prevent Republicans from regaining the White House and reversing the country’s gains on the economy, the environment and health care. “You’ll never have a chance to vote for a better candidate,” he said, drawing a standing ovation as he concluded his speech.

Afterward, voter Dino Irwin said he was glad to see Bill Clinton out on the trail for Hillary. The former president naturally draws the spotlight, Irwin said. “That’s Bill,” he said. “He’s gifted. Bill knows how to reach people. You can feel the sincerity.”

Irwin, 72, of Cedar Rapids, supported Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Iowa caucuses. But he believes she has become a more experienced, confident candidate since then. She no longer needs to worry about her eloquent husband outshining her, he said.

3. K&R. He is a huge asset to any Democratic campaign

Hillary is smart in not listening to concern trolls who'd like her to distance from him.

Sadly Gore made that mistake, but she wont

4. So true. Stupid move on Gore's part.

9. Yep. Very stupid move on his part that cost the Democratic Party and Americans.

President Clinton was chomping at the bit to go out and campaign, but VP Gore refused. He was personally b-hurt that Bill "lied" to him, and the Democratic Party and the country has suffered for it ever since.

8. I saw some of that speech, but they cut away for other stuff (DAMN!) I could listen to that guy....

.....all day long.

10. And yet they broadcast tRump's childish speech in its entirety, and couldn't wait to.

What liberal media again?

[George II]

11. And this afternoon they also had a 10-minute interview of Ben Cohen (Ben of B&J)....

....a corporatist supporter of Sanders.

I wonder why no one mentions that two of Sanders' longest and most loyal supporters are 1%-ers who sold their business to a foreign entity?

12. Oh really?! Imagine that... but ice cream!
