Des Moines — Bernie Sanders may not leave Iowa as popular as the pork chop on a stick or fried PBJ — but the Democratic candidate rolled into the Iowa State Fair to a crowd that wrapped around to the back of the soapbox stage to hear him speak on Saturday afternoon.

"What initially got me to Bernie was the fact, you know what, he's got a lot of integrity. And how I know that? He's not backed up by any money. He's backed up by voters," Caleb Humphrey, 30, a campaign volunteer and Iraq War veteran, said.

"And as a veteran myself and especially a combat veteran, I've seen combat and I've been there," Humphrey said. "We should have used all of our resources to avoid it. It's a horrible thing."

On Saturday, the top two candidates for the Democratic nomination shared the same fairgrounds. Clinton did not address the crowd from the soapbox but took press questions prior to walking the streets.
