Corn Dog Bernie

This morning on the radio, I listened to reports from the Iowa State Fair and how Democratic candidates for President were noshing on such things as pork chops and fried peanut-butter sandwiches. The most appealing, to me, was that Bernie Sanders was walking around eating a corn dog.  The names "corn dog" and "Bernie Sanders", are synonymous.
Interest peaked, did a search as soon as I got to the office and found an ABC news video showing exactly that, an overweight old man, gripping a younger lady's hand and banging down a corn dog the other. In a world without media bias this would be material for the like of Johnny Carson.

When evidence was found, the title for the article was almost as entertaining.

Bernie Sanders braves crowds for a corn dog

The author meant "braves" to be funny, so I will dispense with the obvious comments.
Did everyone at the fair have to pitch-in for the man's dinner?
