“It was just a discussion to get myself updated on some of the current issues facing this country, how we most effectively deal with (the Islamic State group), his assessment on Iran and how we work with Iran and our relationship with Iran, that’s what it was about”, Sanders added, confirming nobody else participated in the private meeting. If not? “I think we’re going to be struggling”, the senator admitted, but said he still would continue to fight on in New Hampshire and elsewhere even if his showing in Iowa is poor.
