Full title: Iowa students preparing for Hillary's first 'listening' session think she's a 'control freak' who will be 'talking s**t' and only wants immigration reform because the Democratic party needs voters

When Hillary Clinton steps off her road-trip van on Tuesday at a rural Iowa community college, she might not be greeted by cheering throngs. Daily Mail Online spoke to students at Kirkwood Community College's regional center in Jones County, where the former secretary of state will hold her first low-key campaign event.

The outlook isn't sunny for the kickoff of her 'listening tour': Of the ten students interviewed in the school's public lounge, only two would speak kindly of Mrs. Clinton.

'She's going to push some emotional thing on us,' predicted student Hallie Corum in between classes.

'What else is she supposed to do?'

'She's going to be, like, talking s**t.'

Corum declined to be photographed, flashing an impish grin.

Corey Jones, a graphic design student, is among those chosen to question Mrs. Clinton in a roundtable setting on Tuesday. He said his teachers chose him to join a group of 'from 6 to 8' students whowill participate because 'I pay attention to politics,' something his friends around a table agreed with.

'I didn't know Hillary Clinton was running,' one young woman said. 'Is she running? Go ask Corey. He's up on all that stuff.'

Jones said he plans to ask Hillary about illegal immigration. 'It's – well, Immigration reform,' he told Daily Mail Online. 'You know, Obama's plan was to make the illegal immigrants legal.' 'She's part of all that. And some people think – well, I think maybe – it's just a tactic to have more Democratic votes.'

"Listening" is Hillary code for "I have MY plan, but I want to find out how I can lie to you to get your vote."

Listen? Gimmeafrigginbreak! 30 years in the slimelight and she's listening still?

The fact is that she has no plan other than power and control any tyrant has. She can't speak with any specificity, preferring to use nebulous feel-good phrases and logos that can be construed as anything you want, just don't ask how.

IMO, the fact is she is a conniving vengeful tyrant with the likability factor of a vulture. You like her if you're a rabid liberal zealot, want more entitlements that are taken from the "rich", or if you're paid to like her. You won't get the chance to ask her a question because that dance card has already been filled with her media shills and campaign peons.

And, she'll slowly release details of her platform (when she finds out what the polls say they should be). But that won't likely be until after her coronation - just like Hussein Obama.

As a post script, I'll predict this. You won't see more than one debate with her and the Republican candidate unless that candidate is Jeb Bush. If it is Jeb (ugh), she'll win solely because W and how the media has discredited him. Further, there really isn't a difference between Jeb and her. She's just better at it. The very last thing she will do is open herself up to a Cruz, a Walker, or even a Rubio. They'd all best her in debate.

What? They let the profs choose from their classes? That sounds like a serious leadership failure right there. Her team should have been able to find ten fawning, adoring, servile, boot-lickers on campus who would lob tough questions such as “What’s your favorite designer of pantsuits?” or “what brand of scotch do you prefer?”

With the Internet archive and Youtube...I think everyone struggling to find work and pay bills fully under so the liberal agenda and realize that it sucks...sucks the dollars from your bank account...sucks the time away from ones personal life...and sucks the life out of you....liberals lie while the rest of us lay for them to be in power....even her daughter gets paid $600 a yr with a staff....like she needs that. ...Down with Hillary and the Democratic Party....they have dug their grave! ! !

I think the young republicans from the college give Hillary a gift pack with fruit and a feminine hygene spray.

I know the van driver would be most appreciative.

We lived in NY when Hillary went on her Senate ‘listening tour.’ No one came. The DNC had to bus in supporters in Buffalo! She went into a restaurant& the Rochester went across the street to tell the folks she was there.. they said “yeah, we know...” but never crossed the street!

Maybe they could raise money by setting up a concession outside the venue selling buckets of water.

She won’t “swing” anywhere except those states and precincts that are swing, electorally.

Even then her appearances when she deigns to bestow her presence will be strictly choreographed and scripted - right down to each and every question she has given to each sycophant campaign shill or loyal peon voter. None of it will be open, honest or revealing in details.

Hitlary listens to NO ONE! This bogus trip is nothing more than a mobile photo op. She wants to portray a “kinder gentler” persona, which we all know, is just not in her.

I hope these kids tear her a new one.

This is a good indicator of why Hillary is a bad candidate. Younger people aren’t going to turn out for her. She is not exciting to younger kids. She is matronly and grandmotherly. Nothing inherently wrong with either, unless you’re running for President and need 20 somethings to vote for you.

Sounds to me like Iowa has some smart students.

The students who spoke ill of Hitlery had better watch their backs — and their cats.

I wonder if the purpose of the interviews by the “journalists” was to get an advance picture of the audience for Hitlery’s people so that they can gauge how many they will need to bus in in order to fill the hall.

That eloquent quote had me scratching my head. When I was a college student, we attempted to sound like serious scholars in discussions. I never spoke with any reporters, but I know that in such a situation my friends and I would have made a great effort to sound learned.

What? Elections are so last century! She just needs a few good photos for her coronation album.
