As Sanders finished his speech in RaleighWe have to do everything that we can to elect Secretary Clinton!Clinton and Pharrell were on their feet, cheering. Wow! Clinton said, when she took to the rostrum. Whew! I gotta say, after hearing from these two extraordinary men, I feel all fired up and ready to go for the next five days! She knew what it was like to run against Sanders. Having him on her side was a lot more fun. A few hours later, Sanders was off on his own to Iowa. Trump is ahead in that state, in the latest average of polls, by about two and a half points. Sanders had three events scheduled for FridayCedar Falls, Iowa City, Davenport. On Saturday, there would be more.
