Clinton: ‘I Always Thought This Was Going To Be’ a Close Race

‘We’ll keep working until the very last caucus is decided on February 1.’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "Let me move to the campaign. To try to figure out why this race has gotten closer in Iowa, why your lead has shrunk in Iowa, we spoke to a number of voters. I want to play three soundbites from Iowa voters about potential pause they have regarding your candidacy. I’m going to play it and get you to respond on the other side."

HELTON: "You get the impression from her that she believes maybe the rules don’t apply to her. Or the same rules don’t apply to her that apply to everybody else."
NEWCOMB: "She’s worked really hard and done some amazing things I just feel that Bernie Sanders is kind of — has a little bit more fire lit up in people."
WILSON: "Well, I hear people talking about questioning her honesty. And I don’t necessarily do that but I think that’s one thing people are kind of not sure and they’ve felt that way about bill Clinton, too. So I think some of that rubs off."

TODD: "Madam Secretary, how do you answer that pause. This is from Democrats some pause that they have."
CLINTON: "Well, first of all, chuck, I always thought this was going to be close and I can’t speak for anybody else but I’ve worked as hard as I can to build an organization in Iowa to be out there listening and talking with Iowans as they move toward making the first in the nation decision in the caucus on February 1 and I’ve also been consistent over the course of my public life. If I tell you I’m going to fight for something, I will do my very best to get results. I think that’s why I have such strong support and I feel very good about where we are but we’ll keep working until the very last caucus is decided on February 1."
