EXCLUSIVE: Campaign staff recruited and DROVE 'everyday' Iowans to Hillary's first campaign stop

Hillary Clinton's astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.

Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton.

Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city.

Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour.

The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing.

Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama's 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport.

'What happened is, we were just asked to be there by Troy,' Bird said Wednesday in a phone interview.

There is NOTHING she does or will do during the coming campaign that will not be completely staged and as controlled as she can make it.

The question is, how many of the LIV or GIV (Gender Impaired Voters) will care that they are being treated this way?

[I want the USA back]

Anybody surprised? She is all phoney. Everything about her.

[Raebie]

I’m not surprised, but I am amused. :-)

[SMARTY]

I wonder how much the ‘attendees’ were paid to stand around waving and fawning over Evita!

[DannyTN]

Fake but popular

[Pearls Before Swine]

I wonder if they were paid at all... maybe a certificate of appreciation, or some flags to wave, or some posters, or a machine-signed photo of Madam Mao... These are enthusiasts, believers.

[ClearCase_guy]

She may end her campaign with mannequins in the audience. It will be like some sort of Twilight Zone episode.

[MeshugeMikey]

just wait until her next move

[Jane Long]

These Hil! threads are too much fun.

[SMARTY]

Maybe, but how enthusiastic can you BE if someone has to come and GET you to make sure you’ll be there?

[moovova]

“Hey you...you on the corner...you wanna make $20 bucks real fast?”

[Covenantor]

Austin Bird, the next Tommy Vietor, look for him in the White House Situation Room.The dude’s got his Biden chauffer creds and is ready to go.

[LostInBayport]

Anybody surprised?

Nope. Her "campaign" will be scripted and choreographed at every possible moment. Pre-screened "spontaneous" meetings with voters who have been researched and coached, "news" interviews with friendly media who won't ask certain questions, town halls with democrat operatives reading questions that have been focus-grouped and poll-tested.

This puppet show will continue right until November of 2016. The only chance for a pointed, no-holds-barred questions on her emails or Benghazi or anything else will be at the debates by her opponent. And if she's up against Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or another RINO, they won't get asked there either.

It will be The Wizard of Oz writ large, with the wicked witch behind the curtain.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There is no such thing as DemocRat grass roots support. ALL of it is staged and paid for to make the public believe that ordinary people are supporting it when it is money from a few wealthy donors like George Soros.

[drypowder]

Gee, do you think she is beyond vote fraud? Good thing for her Soros owns the vote counting machine industry.

[mware]

Oh Travis, that is good, very, very good.

[American Constitutionalist]

Was this against their own will ?
