Clinton urges Iowa voters to finish ‘shopping’, choose her

– Students ‘really into’ Bernie –

Still, Sanders’ idealism has charmed many Democratic voters.

In a speech at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Sanders hammered home his call for a “political revolution,” recalling how at first, he was deemed a “fringe candidate” — not a serious challenger to Clinton.

“Well, my friends, a lot has happened in nine months,” he said.

In an effort to assuage any doubts about voting for him in November, Sanders offered up poll data suggesting he could beat Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in the general election by a wider margin than Clinton would.

“In a general election, Republicans win when people are demoralized, when people do not vote and the voter turnout is low,” he said.

“Any objective assessment of our campaign versus Secretary Clinton’s campaign will tell you that the energy, the excitement is with our campaign.”

Sanders added: “The only way we win is when the engine of enthusiasm, when young people come out and vote, when working people come out and vote.”

The speech was his eighth of the weekend, three of them on college campuses.

Caleb Cady, a 22-year-old student at Hawkeye Community College, said Sanders was indeed popular with young voters.

“All my friends are really into him. There was a punk rock show at the Octopus on Hill Street called ‘Shred for Bernie,’ and everybody I knew was there – it was a big event,” Cady said.
