Bernie Sanders Draws More People Than Clinton Or Trump With Crowd That Stopped Iowa State Fair

Jason Easley writing at Politicus USA lets us know that not only has the MSM noticed Bernie Sanders (Meet The Press being the most main stream of all) but Chuck Todd has finally seen the Bernie Sanders phenomenon up close and personal and he's now a believer.


Chuck Todd reported on Meet The Press that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders drew more people to the Iowa State Fair than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Todd said that the Sanders crowd was so big that it stopped the fair.



Before bringing in Sanders for an interview, Todd said, “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.”

After bringing in Sanders, Todd continued, “I have to say I was both in Clear Lake watched you there, watched you in Soapbox. You had so many people, the fair stopped. Forget Trump. Forget Hillary Clinton. I think you might have had the biggest crowd yesterday.”




Bernie2016TV tried to livestream his event in Dubugue but there were technical problems which they say, they are encountering at other Bernie events.

I haven't found any information on how big that crowd was yet.

His next event is tomorrow, Tuesday in Reno!
