"If he keeps at it, he is going to capture the hearts and minds of Iowans."
Gluba governs the third largest city in Iowa (with a population of about 100,000) and said that the message of income inequality and student debt hits home.

Bernie is taking his message to voters one at a time just like he always has. The Iowa caucus was made for his style of campaigning IMO.

So glad you're both here!!! I'm a Hillary supporter but I do like what Bernie Sanders says, does, and HAS DONE. He has a long track record to look at, and he's been on the good side of pretty much every issue I can think of. I ardently want a woman in charge, for a change. And I think Hillary is set up to be the best opportunity to prevail on that in my lifetime. I think the men need to sit down and let a woman run things for a change, especially since we need a different mindset at work on our problems.
That said, I think Bernie Sanders is one who DOES INDEED present a different mindset, in his own right. The nauseating yearning to solve every big and small, local and international problem by going BANG BANG SHOOT SHOOT is just utterly doom-worthy at this point. It is guaranteed not to end well. It is guaranteed to produce results that are costly, bloody, divisive, and counter-productive. Plus, these ideas and policies DON'T WORK, DAMMIT!!!!! They make us FAR more enemies than friends. That in itself is a net fail. We keep backing the wrong people, imposing wrong and unwelcome systems on other cultures far away that don't share our views and have no desire to start doing so. It runs up ridiculously obscene bills and I'm not just talking financial. AND THERE'S NO END TO IT.
There is NO regard for any consideration of possible CONSEQUENCES to our actions in ways that will be "the gift that keeps on giving" 
for a factor of generations. There's never an end game. There's never an attack that's so well-thought-out that they've planned for when we leave because the job actually is done. All the proponents of these foreign policy disasters we've had, from Vietnam on, only think as far as how soon they can get in and how big a bang they can make doing so. For the cameras dontchaknow. NOBODY bothers to consider the long haul. It's Short Attention Span Theater all over again, only it's not a game, it's a war. It doesn't end tidily in 22 minutes of programming like all our favorite half-hour shows do, with the good guys always on top.
This, above, is one Absolute-Torch-'n'-Twang Rock Solid Fucking URGENT reason to vote for the DEMOCRAT for the White House - and for every other opening there is, in EVERY state and town. I'm a Hillary supporter. But I would be DELIGHTED to vote for Bernie Sanders if he turns out to be the nominee. He'd do most of what I'd hope to see accomplished, especially if voters saw fit to give him more Democrats to work with, PERIOD.
