In less than two weeks, the state of Iowa will vote on its choices for the 2016 Democratic and Republican presidential nominees. The Iowa Caucus begins a months-long process of selecting presidential candidates. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is one of the Democratic presidential candidates. On Thursday, he released a new ad targeting Iowa voters. The 60-second ad is set to a famous song from the 1960s: the folk rock band Simon and Garfunkel’s “America.” The video shows images of Iowa farms, coffee shops, families at kitchen tables, and thousands of Sanders' supporters. The ad is designed to show Sanders’ growing crowd of supporters made up of “everyday Americans.” “Simon and Garfunkel” trended worldwide on Twitter and on Facebook. “Simon Garfunkel and Bernie Sanders” was also a Top-10 Google search on Thursday. On social media, people praised Sanders for his choice of avoiding attacking other candidates.
