Behind in the polls, but not lacking in energy. Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders looks to gain supporters in cities like Clinton, and he wants to do that by getting more people invested in politics again.
"Come back in and say that in our great country, our government belongs to all the people and not just a hand full of billionaires," Sanders said.
Sanders didn't spend a lot of time addressing the person ahead of him in the polls, Hillary Clinton. He focused his attacks on Republicans, specifically Donald Trump, saying that he's getting attention because of short, controversial statements.
"We`re talking about the real issues facing the American people. Yes, I can get up here and say my goal is to ban this or that person from coming into this country. A very simple statement, a very stupid statement," Sanders said.
He continues to push his plans for a minimum wage of $15 an hour and free college education, but he's also focused on how to address the threat of terrorism. He told the crowd in Clinton that there needs to be a cooperative effort with countries like France and the U.K. against ISIS, but the troops on the ground need to come from countries in the Middle East.
"The nightmare in which I will strongly oppose is sending US troops in and seeing some of them get killed and bringing more in, then 20 or 30 years later, we`re still talking about how we get out of Syria and Iraq," Sanders said.
With less than two months before the Iowa caucuses, Sanders is putting his hopes on what he calls the power of a political revolution.
Sanders isn't done with Iowa yet this weekend. He will make stops Sunday in Waterloo, at Cornell College and he'll also meet with his campaign volunteers in Davenport.
