Clear Lake, Iowa (CNN)—A defiant Hillary Clinton unleashed her harshest attacks on Republicans yet, bringing a rowdy crowd of Democratic activists to its feet Friday night by labeling the entire GOP field "just like (Donald) Trump without the pizzaz and the hair."

In a 20-minute speech before 2,000 people at the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding dinner here, Clinton attacked three Republican presidential contenders by name, blasting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush over education funding.

She hit Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- again, by name -- over his accusation that Clinton is playing the "gender card," saying, "If calling for equal pay and paid leave is playing the gender card, then deal me in."

And Clinton bashed the Citizens United-produced attack film "Hillary: The Movie." She noted that the Supreme Court case over the conservative group led to a decision that allowed unfettered money in politics -- a ruling, she said, that "was about me."

Some say "she hit it out of the park", but in this case it was a GRAND SLAM!

She literally brought "a rowdy crowd of Democratic activists to its feet", eclipsing the others who addressed that rowdy crowd.

Good for her, onward and upward!!!

2. Sander...highlighted...His opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and

his opposition to the Iraq War, which Clinton supported in the Senate.... Sanders' biggest applause line, though, came when pitched a "Medicare-for-all single-payer health care system," adding, "Health care is a right, not a privilege."

5. That's a good line, deal me in.

I like how our top two candidates only mention each other respectfully, and focus their criticism on the Republicans. We would all do well to do likewise.
