Hillary Clinton sways the doubters at Wing Ding ("a vigor...never seen before") (HILLARY GROUP)
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — The verdict from the jam-packed auditorium was nearly unanimous: Hillary Clinton crushed her speech at Iowa’s now-famous Democratic Wing Ding Friday night, winning standing ovations from the very Iowans who turned against her the last time she ran for the White House.
Clinton, who suffered a crushing blow when she came third in the 2008 Iowa caucuses, attacked her speech with a vigor Iowans — and even skeptical liberals — said they’d never seen from her before. Speaking with a booming voice, she opened with a full-throated defense of President Barack Obama’s Iran deal, before offering a stark warning of her own to Tehran: “We will never let you acquire a nuclear weapon. Not just in the terms of this agreement. Never.”
She talked about helping college students drowning in their school debt, nodded to the “Black lives matter” movement, and blasted the right for their latest attempts to defund Planned Parenthood — all while taunting the GOP for their fixation on Benghazi and her email scandal.
“Republicans want to stack the deck even more for those at the top — you saw this in the Republican debate the other night,” she said, her voice building as the crowd cheered. “Seventeen candidates and not one of them said a single word about how to address the rising costs of college … about equal pay for woman. Or quality preschool for our kids … No solution to sky rocketing prescription drug costs. No commitment to end mass incarceration, or to say loudly and clearly: ‘Yes, Black lives matter!’”
The crowd went wild, and even some of her critics warmed to her....

= new reply since forum marked as read
it got locked saying it was a duplicate. I had seen the other article but I thought mine (your OP) emphasized the speech itself--how forceful is was. etc.
Anyway--I am not contesting the lock--glad you have it here.
Mine has a lot of other headlines about the speech/meet up also if anyone wants to read them (locked but still there):

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — The verdict from the jam-packed auditorium was nearly unanimous: Hillary Clinton crushed her speech at Iowa’s now-famous Democratic Wing Ding Friday night, winning standing ovations from the very Iowans who turned against her the last time she ran for the White House.

Or quality preschool for our kids… No solution solution to sky rocketing prescription drug costs. No commitment to end mass incarceration, or to say loudly and clearly: ‘Yes, Black lives matter!’”
The crowd went wild, and even some of her critics warmed to her.
“I saw her eight years ago a couple times, and she certainly has improved her fire,” said Ray Brost of Clarksville, Iowa, who was wearing a Bernie Sanders sticker. When asked if Clinton won him over tonight from supporting the far-left Vermont Senator, he hesitated: “Boy it’s a hard choice. We saw a lot of real talent tonight. Smart people.”

Twitter is loaded with how feisty and fiery Hillary's speech was--as Politico acknowledges (and I think we can agree that Politico has and does not favor Democrats-especially Hillary).

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton poked fun at her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state while at a dinner in Iowa Friday.
“You may have seen that I recently launched a Snapchat account,” she said at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Wing Ding Dinner. “I love it. I love it. Those messages disappear all by themselves.”
Clinton made the remarks to a packed room of 2,100 at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, as she and four of her rivals for the Democratic nomination appeared..............

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton blasted the Republican candidates as "Trump without the pizazz or the hair" during her remarks at the annual Iowa Democratic Wing Ding Dinner on Friday.
It wasn't her only crack of the evening.
"Trickle-down economics has to be one of the worst ideas of the 1980s, right up there with New Coke, shoulder pads, and big hair," she said. "I lived through that, there are photographs, and trust me, we don't want to go back there."
Her speech in Des Moines reiterated her campaign's major platform positions: emphasizing economic inequality, election reform and women's issues, among others. ................
Hillary is looking forward. Hillary is battling FOX's Big Lie. Hillary keeps doing better all the time. 
!Jeb! keeps trying to defend the indefensible. What kind of bubble has he been living in since he rigged the Florida election so his war criminal brother could go squat in the White House?
