Jane Sanders Tells Iowans that Bernie Can Deliver Change

On Friday morning in the southeastern corner of Iowa, Jane Sanders spoke in Fort Madison to some two-dozen volunteers for her husband’s presidential campaign. They told her why they were supporting Bernie, and she put her hand to her chest in gratitude.

A railway engineer said that his three children owed nearly $200,000 in college student debt, with interest rates three times higher than the one he and his wife, a nurse and like him a veteran, had on their home. “Crazy,” Sanders gasped.
“I look at my family and who we are,” the engineer went on, “and if were to dream up a candidate tomorrow that would represent us, it would be him.”

“I don’t know where Bernie’s been hiding,” he said.

Sanders, whose style might be called Vermont casual—understated silver jewelry, a drapey blouse and slacks—made clear she knew the feeling.

The latter with a little help from Clairol Medium Golden Brown. (Partly gray light brown hair just looks dirty.) If he weren't so damned busy and naturally monogamous, I know I'm his type.
