Last night donald trump made a major announcement at a Campaign Rally in marshalltown. And hes showing no signs of backing down. Im not a fan of megyn kelly. I think shes a thirdrate reporter. I think she, frankly, is not good at what she does. And i think they can do a lot better than megyn kelly. And so i am going to be making a decision with fox, but i probably wont bother doing the debate. After the rally trump removed the probably and said he definitely wouldnt take part in a debate if megyn kelly was a moderator. Instead trump is promising to hold a separate event in des moines. Hosted by another television network. To raise money for veterans. The Trump Campaign still hasnt released the details on where or when that will happen. As soon trump made the announcement last night his fellow republican challengers jumped on him. Today isnt acting like a commander in chief. 542 i think its a little weird. I dont see the benefit of him not debating. He seems to be worried about unfair questions when in fact he just dominates the press, its a strange thing for him to suggest. If thats hard, then i mean hes in the same position as barack obama, he doesnt do interviews with fox. It just seems kind of weird. And the fact that he thinks hes being treated unfairly, when, if hes going to be president of the United States . Lifes unfair, you know. You got to make tough decisions, you have to challenge things, you have to deal with foreign leaders that dont all agree with you. You cant take your toys and go home. Again the Trump Campaign hasnt said where hell be during the debate tomorrow. The lead in the democratic race in iowa is changing faster than the wind. At least according to the pollsters. A new quinnipiac poll. Released this morning. Gives Bernie Sanders a four point lead over hillary but polls last week gave clinton six and nine point leads. And sanders an eight point lead. One things pollsters agree on is that Hillary Clinton is leading with older voters. Who are more likely to show up to caucus. Compared to younger voters. So turnout could be the determining factor monday. Today clinton took her message to adel. Where she provided a local man a big business boost. Nothing motivates you more to clean a business, than having a potential next president stop at your business. Bryce smith met the former secretary of state when she visited iowa last spring and held a business round table. Smith invited clinton to come to his Bowling Alley at that event. Clinton today criticized Johnson Controls for urging a bail out for the auto industry, then going for a merger to go off shore to avoid u. S. Taxes. now they want to move overseas for the sole purpose, of escaping their fair share of taxes to support what successful in the first place. The rule of law , the contract system, the judicial system, the support we give to training people, all that you and i have contributed and previous generations, they are willing to walk away. In order to pay a lower tax instead of doing what they should, to support our country to grow and be prosperous in the future. And it is wrong. clinton said the republican candidates for president must exist in an alternate universe if they believe their own plans to solve the nations problems. Bernie sanders returns to the campaign trail tonight after heading back to washington for a special meeting today. Sanders was invited to the white house for a oneonone meeting with president obama.

The tour for diversity in medicines Mission Statement is. To educate, inspire and cultivate future physicians and dentists of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Now you can add pharmacist to that statement as well. Joining us now to talk about her role in the tour is drake pharmacy student andrea princegomez. Des moines, ia andrea prince pharmacy student from ferguson, mo. , has been accepted to the tour for diversity in medicine, an organization that advocates for students from underrepresented populations to join healthcare fields. She will travel the country with other members of the organization beginning in february as its first representative for the field of pharmacy. andrea has an inspiring personal story that will motivate young people to pursue careers not only in pharmacy, but all healthcare fields, said kameron leigh matthews, the tours founder and codirector. she comes from an underserved background, and she has definitely faced negativity. But she stuck to her , she knew what her interests were, and she wasnt background would not be Strong Enough to take her there. princegomez says in her childhood city of ferguson, mo. , the idea of becoming a pharmacist was far from most students minds. Few of her High School Classmates went to college. When her older brother earned an associates degree, it was the highest degree anyone in her family had received. there wasnt really a mentor for applying to colleges, said princegomez. because in ferguson its a big deal to graduate high school. You may be the first in your family to graduate from high school. So theres not many people encouraging you to go to college, and if they do, its just the Junior College down the street. Princegomezs experience reflects students. While latinos and africanamericans make up an increasing percentage of the american population, they continue to be underrepresented in healthcare fields; for example, africanamericans represent only 3 percent of physicians, said leigh matthews. Those demographics are reflected in medical programs and pharmacy programs, including drakes mdash;a situation that drake administrators are keen to change. the university has made a commitment to increasing inclusivity and diversity among the student body, faculty, and staff, said renae chesnut, interim dean of the college of pharmacy and health sciences. andreas selection aligns with our colleges vision to be a Diverse Community of learners leading the way to a healthy world. She is a positive role model for others and will be an inspirational ambassador on the tour. princegomez made the leap from high school to college through willpower and luck. She navigated the application process and filed for Financial Aid on her own
