By Harrison Berry,
(Mar. 21, 2016) — Attracted by his criticism of establishment politics, thousands of Idahoans braved long lines March 21 to hear presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) speak at Boise State University’s Taco Bell Arena.
“I really believe in his liberal spirit,” said Boise High School student Alexis Bigby, who added she’s beginning to think about where she’d like to attend college. She was particularly attracted to Sanders’ campaign promise of providing free public college and university education to United States citizens.
