"When you think you can't go any more — that house is too far away, it looks really icy down the street — just remember that every single person you've talked to, the odds are they haven't been pulled in by us or by anyone," he told a crowd of nearly 100 Sanders volunteers Sunday, aiming to rally them to head out into the cold yet again to knock doors for the Vermont senator.
