Iowa Public Radio: Bernie Sanders on the "Powerful and the Greedy"

Elizabeth Gaffney, a high school teacher from Baxter, has already heard Bernie Sanders, once in Ames, and again on the soapbox at the State Fair.

She is new to Democratic politics.

“I used to be a Republican,” Gaffney says. “Bernie’s made me a convert.”

“My campaign is the only non-billionaire campaign that doesn’t have a Super PAC,” Sanders says. “I won’t name names.”

Someone shouted back, “You’re not for sale.”

Meghan Davis, a Presbyterian minister in Newton, is one of those undecideds. She was a fan of both Bill and Hillary Clinton back when she was in high school.

“I was excited when Hillary ran 8 years ago and I was excited to vote for her this year,” Davis says. “But I’m impressed with Bernie. I’m very conflicted at this point.”

Davis says she’d love to see the first woman president but she’d also like to see the first socialist president.

1. Thanks for posting.

That was enjoyable.

The people are happy that Bernie is running.

I love to hear from his supporters, and soon to be supporters.

Thanks.

2. WOW! This interview is dynamite.

It's amazing how wonderfully a simple change of tone on the narration, from doubtful to accepting n, makes on how a recorded piece like this one comes across.
