This Girl is on Fire: Hillary Brings the House Down at Iowa Democratic Dinner

[UCmeNdc]

Hillary Clinton, riding high on the endorsements she received from Iowa's only two Democrats currently holding statewide office, gave a fiery speech at the Iowa Democratic Party Hall of Fame Dinner on Friday night.

Taking (and leaving) the stage to loud chants of "Hillary! Hillary!", Clinton's highly partisan speech garnered huge enthusiasm from the crowd of Iowa party activists, earning a lengthy standing ovation; once the audience got up, they didn't sit down again until she was off the stage.

Mixing personal stories with a strong case for progressive policies, Clinton did more than just draw contrasts between herself and the Republican candidates.

She made a passionate case for the Democratic party as a whole, affirming her commitment to fight for the election of Democrats in every corner of the country and for every elected office, from Senator and Governor right down to the local school board.

She celebrated the unity of our party, and aimed all of her ammunition toward the retrograde relics on the other side of the aisle.
