Wow! How did I miss this one? I didn't know she was scheduled to be on and would certainly have been there given the fury she expressed in her book regarding Lauer's "moderation" of the Commander-in-Chief Forum.
I do not normally watch this show anymore since I didn't like how they ganged up on Ann Curry. If, like me, you missed this appearance, here it is.
Hillary
reiterated that she has always from the outset looked at her campaign
as a battle to be fought and is taking nothing for granted but is
feeling good about New York and will continue to campaign hard in
upcoming states.
She repeated her prior remarks on Bernie Sanders saying his NYDN interview
exhibited a lack of preparation but insisted, correctly, that she never
said he lacked qualifications. She added that when he said she was
unqualified he suffered from historic amnesia on the issues upon which they cast
the same vote.
As to the great Republican hope that she will be
indicted based on email issues, she said, "That is not gonna happen.
There is not the remotest chance that is gonna happen. They have said
things about me for 25 years." She said this is a routine security
investigation that goes on all the time but you do not hear about them.
This one, she said, we hear about because it is about her.
Later, Today hosted Bernie Sanders at an abbreviated outdoor town hall.
Heads
up! This afternoon, Hillary will appear on the Steve Harvey Show. I
believe this is a re-run, but just in case you missed it the first time
around.
Hillary was up before the crack of dawn in Iowa and hit the airwaves running. We caught her first on the Today Show where the Lauer/Guthrie team spoke with her.
The
questions were the predictable ones, and Hillary is used to fielding
those. She reiterated for the umpteenth time that the email dustup is
the same old interagency disagreement over classification but came down a
little harder than usual on what the campaign is now designating as
leaks from the IG to the GOP.
As for her campaign, she was very
upbeat and optimistic with high praise for her Iowa team. She was
confident that her focus on the concerns she has heard from Iowans will
prove effective tonight.
We caught her next on CNN's New Day
with Alisyn Camerota. This was a longer, more extensive, and cordial
conversation. The topics were similar, but the tone was more relaxed.
On
CNN, given more time to expand, Hillary emphasized her experience in
the White House and Senate and consistently highlighted the
accomplishments of the Obama years. She underscored her ability to be
the candidate who will protect and continue the progress of the past
eight years. She also cited her tenure as Secretary of State providing her with a depth of experience no other candidate can claim. At every turn she deflected attention from the GOP attacks
and refocused on the issues and concerns of the voters on the trail and
her plans to address those. That is what this election is about.
The
Hillary we know finished her CNN interview by telling Alisyn, who was
fighting a cold, to feel better. The Hillary we know cares. She cares
about the individuals she meets and she cares about the community.
