Hillary has evolved since then or she misspoke.

Hillary Clinton is campaigning hard to win Iowa’s caucuses — but a 2012 email shows she might not care for the electorate there.

Clinton called caucuses “creatures of the parties’ extremes” in a January 22, 2012 email to confidante Sidney Blumenthal.

That email was among a new tranche released Monday by the State Department as part of its ongoing effort, under a judge’s order, to make public the former secretary of state’s work-related emails.

States vote on presidential nominees through primaries — where residents cast their ballots as they would in a general election — or caucuses, where voters gather, talk and openly decide who to support. In some states there are rounds of elimination to cut out the lowest-performing candidates. It’s a process that lends an edge to the best-organized candidates with the most passionate supporters.

Clinton lost the 2008 Democratic caucuses in Iowa to then-Sen. Barack Obama. In 2004, Howard Dean was damaged by similar comments — but those were captured on video, rather than in an email.

Clinton’s email to her friend Blumenthal also includes nicknames for two of the Republican front-runners from that election cycle — Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich — as well as analysis on how their neck-and-neck race would play out.

“If Mittens (Mitt Romney) can’t beat Grinch (Gingrich) in Florida, there will be pressure on state Republican parties to reopen or liberalize ballot access especially in the caucuses, which as we know are creatures of the parties’ extremes,” Clinton wrote.
