Bernie Sanders: Iowa caucuses are the 'beginning of the end for Donald Trump'

Bernie Sanders addressed a packed room of enthusiastic supporters in Des Moines Sunday, telling them that tomorrow’s Iowa caucus represented the “beginning of the end for Donald Trump.”

“I really have been impressed about how serious the people of this state are examining the issues and listening to the candidates,” Sanders said. “And I thank you all very much for that. I don’t have to tell anybody in this room that the 2020 election is the most consequential election, certainly in the modern history of America, and quite possibly in the history of America.”
The 2020 election, Sanders said, was first and foremost about defeating Donald Trump, whom he referred to as the “most dangerous president” in American history.
He then promised that a Sanders presidency would bring people together “around an agenda that works for all of us, not just the one percent.”

“So, tomorrow night is the beginning. It is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump,” Sanders said. “At the beginning of the moment when we tell the billionaire class in the 1 percent: this country belongs to all of us, not just a few.”
