Also according to NBC's Chuck Todd, Bernie and the crowd that gathered to hear him stopped the Iowa State Fair. Todd said Bernie overwhelmed Trump and Hillary and everyone else. In an interview Todd seemed shocked that outside of the news bubble of Washington, DC, Bernie's grassroots support is very real, huge, and very enthusiastic.
“From my three days in Iowa, it’s clear to me that the Bernie Sanders phenomenon is very real. The Vermont Independent Senator is attracting huge crowds.”

Bernie tore into the GOP's "fake family values," reminding the Iowa crowd that Republican policies like low wages and anti-unionism and the war on women are absolutely destructive to families.
Bernie is proving that telling the truth, respecting voters, fighting for democracy, workers, and for a fair economy not only is principled but effective and good politics. Bernie is building the kind of movement that America must have to save democracy from the oligarchs who are tying to buy our country, oligarchs like the Koch Brothers.
