Hillary Clinton's Closing Argument of the Primary
NASHUA, N.H. Alex Mendola, a 19-year-old from Amherst, New Hampshire who will be casting his first ballot in next month's presidential primary, is exactly the type of young voter who has helped fuel Sen. Bernie Sanders' improbable lead over Hillary Clinton in the first-in-the-nation primary state.
And Mendola was a firm Sanders supporter that is until Monday, when he walked into Nashua Community College Monday morning to hear Bill Clinton pitch voters on his wife.
"I was a solid Bernie voter, but now I'm not so sure," Mendola said after listening to the former president's remarks, which focused on the stakes of the election and Hillary Clinton's experience. "If Bernie won the primary and lost the general election, I think that would be disaster. So even if don't like Hillary as much as Bernie, I feel more confident that she would win the general election. And I think that's what's going to persuade me to vote for Hillary if I do."
He was not the only one to express that view here, and the Clinton campaign is hoping many more voters will follow.
