Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire

The title quote above comes from photographer Michael Vadon who, while on assignment, followed Bernie Sanders around New Hampshire on August 24. He attended Sanders town hall meetings in Conway, Berlin and Littleton, NH.

It's an interesting quote from a republican, yes a republican, who had many things to say about his contact with Senator Sanders on that hot August day in NH.



Senator Bernie Sanders is a phenomenal speaker who knows how to communicate. In ten minutes, he states his positions directly and matter of factly with no spin. He does carry notes with him to the podium, but it seems he rarely uses them. He speaks to the press with confidence and takes all questions. His knowledge on the issues seems to be complete and vast.

As a Republican, I might disagree with Bernie on the solutions to issues in society, but I have great respect for this man. He is honest, trustworthy and speaks with such confidence that even if you disagree with the man you can at least respect him. I came away from this confidently believing that Bernie is about to clean Hillary's clock in the forthcoming primary debates. After watching both Bernie and Hillary in different settings there seems to be absolutely no way Hillary can win against this man. The Republicans are going to have a very difficult time debating this man as well. I call it the "Royal Rumble". If Trump is the Republican nominee, it will be at least entertaining watching two New Yorkers battle it out on-stage. I look forward to it. All of the three events I attended were packed to the point where it was standing room only and people had to stand outside watching Bernie on large video screens as there was no room inside. The only other campaign events I have seen so jam packed was Donald Trump. Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush's events were lightly attended and Trump was right...there were people falling asleep at both their events.

Vadon says that Sanders seems exceptionally strong and healthy and breaks the stereotype of the senior citizen. He says do not underestimate Sanders.I wonder who Vadon will vote for if it comes down to Sanders vs Trump?
