"I'll stand on his shoulders if he wants me to," said 71-year-old Mary Lou Klemme, of Akron
After taking the stage at the Sioux City Convention Center, the Vermont senator went through a list of recent wins for his campaign: He pointed to last week’s endorsement by Democracy for America, a grass-roots progressive group with more than 1 million members nationwide. And Sanders basked in last weekend’s major fundraising coup of topping 2.3 million campaign contributions — more than any presidential candidate in history.
“I believe we have a good shot to win Iowa,” he said.
In railing against billionaires and Wall Street, Sanders hurled a dig at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. At Saturday’s Democratic debate, the former secretary of state said “everybody should” love her in response to a question about whether corporate America should love her. Sanders, who rarely calls her out by name, used that statement Monday to position himself as a friend of the common man and an enemy of Wall Street, billionaires and corporate America.
“I don’t need to be loved by everybody. … I don’t need Wall Street’s love,” Sanders said.
