“We’re cutting taxes”, Trump added, referring to the economic agenda he announced on Monday in Detroit. The final delegate count was 2,842 for Clinton vs. 1,865 for Sanders, so five additional votes for Sanders wouldn’t have made any difference.

The Iowa Democratic Party secured a number of high-profile speakers for the Iowa delegation including the honorable Tom Vilsack and U.S. Sen.
