Elizabeth Warren Stands Out at New Hampshire Democratic Party Convention

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s backers roared supportive slogans and banged on drums as they awaited his arrival outside Southern New Hampshire University Arena. Senator Bernie Sanders was welcomed by die-hard fans ready to cheer seemingly every sentence he uttered. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Senator Cory Booker delivered one applause line after the next.

But no one was embraced at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s state convention Saturday quite like Elizabeth Warren.

The Massachusetts senator took the stage to a standing ovation that lasted around two minutes, and the thunderous applause that frequently interrupted her speech was amplified by the inflatable noisemakers that had been distributed to the crowd. “Win with Warren!” attendees yelled.

5. It's time for the teachers to step forward

Others need to step aside.

6. She's not even my candidate but honestly....

I would not only vote for her, but if she won, I would be happy to go out and campaign hard for her.

7. You left out this part

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts demonstrated the sheer force of her supporters. Warren received — by far — the biggest reception of any candidate when she took the stage, welcomed with a two-minute standing ovation before she uttered a word. Her campaign paid for hundreds of tickets and provided supporters with thundersticks reading “Win With Warren.”

I think paying for hundreds of tickets helps with the reception.

8. Yep

She's got the best ground game going.

9. She gets stronger as the campaigns progress.

I saw her described as a "happy warrior" and I think that is apt. While she is a fighter and strong supporter of our rights, she doesn't wear a mantle of perpetual anger or grievance.

10. I felt like I was watching our next President.

It was a very good feeling. The light at the end of this long dark tunnel, is growing ever brighter.
