Sanders’ hold on Kootenai County Democrats was evident an hour before the caucus began, as his supporters lined to enter the auditorium greatly outnumbered Hillary Clinton’s. The lopsided support only increased in North Idaho College’s Boswell Hall, as many first-time caucus goers, young and old, packed into the seats among like-minded voters/Nicholas Deshais, SR.

Question: Are you surprised by Sanders’ margin of victory in Idaho?
