There must have been lots of parties and booze ... Young people are generally hungover Saturday morning and slow to start.

Usually phonebankers are asked to run down a script and have answered prepared for common responses/questions/etc. That guy was going off the cuff.

While his supporters were knocking on ~7,500 doors, the ~12,000 attendees at the Iowa Steak Fry were wondering why his tent was empty.

How about attend big events when they happen and knock on doors and make those phone calls afterwards?

Of course, as a former Sanders supporter and someone that hopes he does not win the nomination, I guess I should be happy at the incompetence shown here!
