In a recent Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll of likely voters in the upcoming Iowa caucuses,both Sanders and Trump are surging in popularity.

Trump supporter Dick Clark,also of Dubuque,said he knows why.

特朗普的一位支持者，同样来自迪比克的迪克·克拉克表示他知道造成这样结果的原因。

“There's an anger in America. An anger against politicians. He's saying the right things. He's saying things that are unpolitically correct,but I do not believe that anger is going to dissipate,so I think he's got a chance.”

“现在的美国人民心中充满了愤怒。这是对于政客们的愤怒。他所谈论的是正确的事情。他说的是政治之外正确的事情,但我不相信会减轻人们的愤怒,因此我认为他把握住了机会。”

Trump's so extreme,and to many people,I suppose,Sanders is extreme,too.”

“我不知道桑德斯可能会获得提名,但我从一开始就希望这次竞选能影响希拉里或任何其他领跑者朝着更为积极进步的方式。”

Despite Sanders' rising popularity,polling shows Clinton is still the leading Democratic candidate in Iowa.

霍夫梅尔表示人们对克林顿任职国务卿期间使用私人邮件服务器的担心可以为未参选的另一位候选人提供机会。

“也许他不再更加以自我为中心会好些。”
