Schultz Defends Hillary Avoiding Iowans at Chipotle; ‘She Was Probably Observing’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
ED SCHULTZ: "Well, I think there's a sense of realism amongst those even thinking about running for president. They are not the former first lady and not the former senator and former secretary of state. I mean, I just think that it is almost demeaning to Hillary Clinton that she's not getting enough credit for what she has done in her career and the lengthy resume that she has. Given that, she still needs to step forward on very crucial issues because they are different today than what they were in 2008. And I think she'll get to all of that. But this is the first stage of the campaign to make sure she knows where Iowa is. And what people are thinking about. And I think she's doing it right. The criticism that Hillary has had about going into a chipotle and not talking to people, this is as ordinary as it gets. When was the last time anybody in America had a real in depth political conversation in a fast food joint? She went into the place to get something to eat. She didn't go in there to campaign. But you know what, I know Hillary Clinton well enough to know she was probably observing what shows those kids behind the counter were doing and what people were paying attention to and probably hungry from being on the road and that's what ordinary people do."
