IOWA CITY, Iowa — When I told the barista at a nearby café where I was headed, he said I’d better hurry. He’d seen a guy camped out in front of the entrance to the University of Iowa’s Field House the night before — as if it were a Beyoncé concert or a new iPhone release. Luckily, most people began to gather for the Bernie Sanders rally around 4:30 p.m. — three hours before the event was slated to start. The line quickly shot across the street, past an undergraduate dormitory, down a hill, around the corner and deep into a residential street. Though it was a cold Saturday night and the student-filled venue was far from the local bars on the other side of town, the energy was palpable. “Ber-nie, Ber-nie, Ber-nie,” the crowd chanted every few minutes. Thousands of people — mostly young, first-time voters — were there on a Saturday night to see the balding 74-year-old socialist.
