Hillary's #1 Fan Ruline Steiniger Dies At 103
Will one of her most ardent fans Ruline Steiniger, who died at age 103, prompt a Hillary reflection in her new book? The Democratic candidate tweeted about Ruline on Friday, writing" At 103, Ruline Steininger had an energy & vibrancy all should aspire to. My thoughts and prayers are w/her family."
Ruline's granddaughter, Karen Steininger, told CNN:
She had a long and productive life and did much to inspire many women, young and old. One of my favorite things that she said, as my husband was telling her about the Women's March here in Des Moines, was to please send Hillary a note after her death and to let her know that she'll still be fighting. An activist even after she's gone.
Ruline hit the national headlines on a cold February night in February 2016, when she caucused for Hillary Clinton in Iowa, determined to witness history by helping elect America's first female president.
"I've got a big job ahead of me . . . I've got to live," Ruline told the world. "After that, OK, I can die if I want to, but I'm going to live until she's elected."

She will also resume her relationship with talent management Harry Walker Agency, who managed her prior to her presidential run. These talks were heavily criticized by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Trump during the election race. Bernie is now represented by All American Speakers.

Jazzy Philanthropy
What is a false statement about Hillary is that she was last seen at President Trump's inauguration. Not true. As President Trump worked to launch his immigration ban that is causing ongoing protests in America and around the world, the Democratic candidate was supporting immigrant cancer researchers at Columbia University.
One of the event’s beneficiaries was Dr. Azra Raza, who last summer wrote an opinion piece under the headline: “I’m an immigrant and a Muslim. And I’m here to cure cancer.” Raza, who researches early-stage leukemia, grew up in Pakistan. She said Clinton repeatedly thanked her for her work.
