Full title: Campaign staff DROVE 'ordinary' Iowans to Hillary's first campaign stop - including health care 'lobbyist in training' who was an Obama campaign intern and Biden chauffeur

Austin Bird sat for coffee on Tuesday morning in the town of LeClaire, Iowa, chatting with Hillary Clinton as photographers snapped pictures

News reports called him a 'student' and her campaign called it an unscripted event

But Clinton's Iowa political director Troy Price drove Bird and two other people to the coffee house

Bird is a hospital government relations official who interned with Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign The Iowa Democratic Party, which Price ran until a month ago, tasked him to be Joe Biden's driver during an October Senate campaign trip in Davenport

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

She will not only not be the Democrat nominee but she will eventually be indicted on a single count of not signing a document when she left State. She will plead guilty turn in her law license (if she still has one) do no jail time and get unsupervised probation. That way she is out of the way and the Democrats can nominate O’Malley who shouldn’t win but will because the GOPe will find a way to force Jeb on us. We will stay home and in the lowest turnout in memory the Democrats will hold the White House.

I’m sure Soros will be behind many of her campaign stops.

Hillary..."Amazing...I saw lots of trucks on I-80 today....

The reality......I-80 closed for miles in both directions following a huge pile up in Utah with 1 person dead and numerous injured.

Just Hillary ignoring the "little people" again.....I expect everyone stuck in I-80 traffic today will not support Hillary.

And hence Hillary’s famous lament about the internet “The truth can get around the world twice — before my lies can get their boots on.”

Can I ask a stupid question?

Are there core groups of liberals/Democrats who support Hillary? Or are Democrats resigned to Hillary being inevitable? Are Other Democrat presidential hopefuls afraid of the Clintons; afraid to run against them for fear of consequences???

Are Democrats intimidated by the boasts that Hillary will raise $2 billion to run for president???

The 2nd stop in Iowa (my home town) had only 7 invited guests, all but 1, from outside the local area.

I'll give you my opinions.

Are there core groups of liberals/Democrats who support Hillary? Or are Democrats resigned to Hillary being inevitable?

There are core groups who WILL support her if she is the nominee, but it's widely acknowledged that there isn't a lot of interest and enthusiasm there. Just cruise on over to DU (take a shower afterward) and you'll see they're not crazy about her. But they are the left of the left there.

Are Other Democrat presidential hopefuls afraid of the Clintons; afraid to run against them for fear of consequences??? Are Democrats intimidated by the boasts that Hillary will raise $2 billion to run for president???

I don't think they're afraid of reprisals. I just think that they're stepping aside because it's "her turn". Also, she has gotten the jump on raising funds.

IA doesn’t require legitimacy in campaigns.
