Iowa Democrats could not name a single accomplishment by Hillary Clinton when she served as Secretary of State.
Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin conducted a focus group of Iowa Democrats and asked them about Hillary Clinton. Halperin went around the room and asked each individual to name a single accomplishment by Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
"What did she accomplish that you consider significant as Secretary of State?"
The participants couldn’t answer the question.
"I can’t really name anything off the top of my head."
"Give me a minute."
"Um. No."
"I honestly can’t say that I followed along with everything that was going on."
One respondent was able to justify his support for Clinton with her long record of holding public office.
"She's been at a high level in numerous offices for about 25 years now. It will be that or it will be Scott Walker taking away, destroying America’s unions.
"She’s not perfect. But she's been in the eye for a long time in the public's eye and you’re going to have some stuff on her. But you know she has great policies and she knows how to get stuff done."
