lined up in the cold while more than a thousand miles away, former president clinton stumped for his wife hillary. >> trump unleashes a powerful new attack on the clintons. jon karl is on the campaign trail in vermont. >> reporter: hundreds of his supporters waited hours in the cold to see him in vermont, donald trump dropped this bomb on hillary clinton. >> women's rights are human rights. >> reporter: a trump campaign video, featuring clinton with disgraced congressman anthony weiner, bill cosby, and trump is challenging hillary's records on women's rights saying she enabled the former president during his sex scandals. >> it hasn't been a very pretty picture for her or bill. because i'm the only one that's willing to talk about his problems. >> reporter: but bill clinton will not take the bait. campaigning in iowa, he refused to respond to trump. even when a reporter asked him three times. >> are you worried that your past could hurt your wife's campaign? >> i don't have any response, if he wins the republican nomination, we'll have plenty of

time to talk about it. >> reporter: in washington, the white house came to hillary clinton's defense. >> her commitment to fighting for justice and equality for women, not just in the united states, but around the world, is second to none. >> reporter: as the clintons try to ignore trump "time" magazine put him on their cover. the headline? "how trump won." here in vermont, the trump phenomenon was on vivid display. the rally is in a theater down there. it doesn't start for another four hours. but as you can see, there's already a line of people here, as far as the eye can see, extending for at least two more blocks. this is one of the most liberal cities in america but out here it almost looked like trump territory. >> what about you, what brings you out here? >> i'm angry. i think he's going to be the next president. >> making america great again, one pizza slice at a time. >> inside the rally there were scattered protests which didn't seem to boger trump all that much. the venue only holds 1400 people but the trump campaign gave out some 20,000 tickets so not

everybody can get in. as a result what the trump campaign decided to do was to allow only those who are confirmed supporters of donald trump. in a statement he said they are loyal to me and i am loyal to them. jonathan karl, abc news, burlington, vermont. >> planned parenthood is endorsing a presidential primary candidate. not surprisingly it is hillary clinton. they say reproductive rights and health care on the ballot this year and no other candidate has demonstrated such a strong commitment to these issues. clinton's rivals in the democratic contest also embrace planned parenthood's agenda. planned parenthood at the center of what democrats are calling political theater. republicans are crowing about their passage of the bill that repeals obamacare and funding for planned parenthood. previous efforts were blocked by democrats but the white house is saying it's pointless. the president will vee it and

2,300 feet deep, a steel beam became loose, stopping the elevator and keeping it there. the temperature dropping to 15 degrees. the miners stuck in that shaft just as cold. >> they huddled together. they did what they could do to keep each other warm and keep each other's spirits up. it's very impressive to see how well they managed the situation. >> reporter: teams above sending down blankets and heat packs. after so many hours a massive crane lowering a basket down to bring the miners up in small groups. good news for the lucky 17. and the fire department says this is one of the toughest rescues they've ever had. all of the miners are now home. they are okay. but nobody is going back into that salt mine until the problem is fixed. gio benitez, abc news, lansing, new york. long ten hours there in lansing, new york. thanks, gio. the sun made a brief appearance in california before new rounds of rain this weekend. another powerful storm hit
