In Part 2 of his closing argument to Iowans, Senator Bernie Sanders lays out his vision and explicitly asks Democrats to caucus for him.

On Screen

Mr. Sanders, wearing a suit and tie, directly addresses the doubters. “There are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy,” he says, as the camera pans over a bright green cornfield, the stalks speckled with yellow. “But I believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the American horizon,” he adds, as the camera does just that, showing a beam of light burning where the cornfield meets a blue sky.

A drum fill brings in climactic music, as Mr. Sanders lays out his hopes for the country: universal access to a college education; health care as a “birthright”; good jobs; equal pay for women; a living wage for all; an America where the elderly can afford to retire and enjoy their grandchildren; and a nation that “defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone.”

Shots of Iowans going about their daily lives, as well as a scene of Mr. Sanders pitching a baseball to his 4-year-old grandson, Dylan, who crushes it, put faces to those ideals.
