Young NH Warren Backers Love That She's Similar to Sanders. Older Ones Love That She's Different.
...More than a thousand people came to Elizabeth Warrens event on Thursday at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., and students waited in line to take a selfie with the Senator and to pet her dog Bailey. Sanders came to Dartmouth in late September and spoke to a crowd that was roughly the same size, and many of the students at the Warren event said they had also gone to the Sanders one.
Some said they supported Warren because they saw her as Sanderss natural heir. I love Bernie, said Jackson Harris, a 21-year-old geography and computer science major at Dartmouth. Hes done a lot of really great things in his life, but this is not his time for the Presidency. Its time for Warren to get it done.
Hes so old, and Warrens so similar to him, said Harriss friend Juan Lainez, a 21-year-old senior majoring in government and Latin American studies. Everyone who was for Bernie four years ago is now for Warren.
Underneath it all, the students said they wanted someone who could win. I think Warren can pull it off, says Em Morris, a 22-year-old graduate student in experimental and molecular medicine who enthusiastically supported Sanders in 2016. Any of them can win, but I think Warren will put up the best fight.
A few hours later, at an event at Newport Opera House in Newport, N.H., Warren gave a nearly identical speech to a much older crowd, but the selfie line was just as long. Here, the crowd was full of people who had voted for Clinton in 2016, who were skeptical of Sanderss far-left ideology and saw Warren as a more practical alternative. Many were senior citizens themselves who were concerned about Sanderss age.
Bernies not a bad guy, but shes more plan-oriented, says Sally Caltrider, a 65-year-old registered nurse who voted for Clinton in the 2016 primary. I was upset with Bernie at the end of the primary last time, I dont think he did enough to support Hillary. Besides, she added, his health concerns me. Other older voters shared that concern. Bernies too old, said Lisa Matthews, 64, I wish hed get outta there.
If she cant beat Trump, nobody can, said Mary Edes, 71, a retired teacher who also voted for Clinton in 2016. Im hoping its not going to be a man.
I think some people think shes too far left, but if people listened to her, they will come away with a different opinion, says Cindy Martin, a 66-year-old retiree. I dont think shes aligned with the far-left socialists. Shes not as far left as Bernie Sanders.
