JAKE TAPPER (HOST): Hillary Clinton taking a few questions from reporters in Greensboro, North Carolina. Let's go to CNN chief Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny, who is traveling with the Clinton campaign in Greensboro North Carolina. Jeff, a few questions I guess, I don't know. Do we call that a full press conference? I probably wouldn't, but I am a tough grader. 

JEFF ZELENY: I am a tough grader as well, but I think for this week since we've not seen her at all really since Sunday, Jake, I think you know you have to say it's probably as good as we're going to get. Look she did not acknowledge any specific shortcomings about how she informed the American public here. And if she would do anything different. She did say that her staff could have been faster. I didn't hear her say anything that she could have done differently.
