Hillary Clinton will do small-scale events and private meetings during a two-day Iowa swing Tuesday and Wednesday, campaign aides told The Des Moines Register Sunday.

Just two small events were announced: She'll do an educational roundtable at a branch campus of Kirkwood Community College and do a business roundtable at Capital City Fruit in Norwalk, a small town just south of Des Moines. Neither event will be open to the public, and there will be limited access to the news media.
"It will be the first of many conversations with Iowans about how to make the economy work so everyday Americans and their families can actually get ahead and stay ahead," said Lily Adams, the Clinton campaign's Iowa spokeswoman.
Clinton will also meet privately with elected officials, community leaders, activists and other Iowans, aides said.

(14,195 posts)This is a bad approach. It makes it look like she is afraid of actually interacting with voters and press.

(62,277 posts)While I agree open campaign venues should happen I don't think it should start until at least another credible Democrat announces.
I do expect, however, video and transcripts to be released. So I don't think they're blocking that at all. Just limiting who is allowed to come. 5 or so reporters as opposed to literally the entire MSM reporting legion, consisting of hundreds of reporters and cameras and whatnot.
If they block video or transcripts it will be a catastrophic error for the campaign. Everything Hillary Clinton does now should be available to the public. It's campaign mode. Not "private paid speeches mode."
