CONWAY – A crowd of about 750 people at a Bernie Sanders town hall meeting at Kennett Middle School Monday heard a little about ice cream and a lot about oligarchy. Those in attendance seemed to be as fired up about the campaign as Sanders himself and often gave the candidate thunderous applause after he delivered his strongest lines.
Sanders, an independent U.S. Senator from Vermont, is running in New Hampshire's Democratic Primary for president. While pundits declared he is a fringe candidate with little chance of success, now he's rivaling Hillary Clinton in the polls. This was Sanders' second trip to the Mount Washington Valley in recent months. He was in Hale's Location in May.
