ESPAÑOLA — There was an atmosphere of an old-fashioned Rio Arriba County political rally Tuesday at the Plaza de Española, where former President Bill Clinton came to campaign for his wife, Hillary Clinton.
There were lots of Democratic politicians, several of whom spoke before the former president took the stage. There was much talk about how the Clintons care about towns like Española and working families, and how New Mexico does better when there is a Democrat in the White House. There was also talk about how Hillary Clinton doesn’t play to racial prejudice — like a certain presumptive Republican presidential nominee does.
Bill Clinton himself played upon most of these themes in his half-hour speech.
Praising the diversity of his audience, he said one thing he likes about coming to Northern New Mexico is that “I get to see our friends the Sikhs with their white turbans. It reminds me of how fortunate we are to live in a country where everybody is entitled to be treated like human beings.”

ESPANOLA, N.M. (KRQE) – Campaigning for Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton, her husband and former president, Bill Clinton, stopped in Española on Tuesday to rally New Mexico voters.
Crowds started to gather hours before to hear the former president talk ..................................
Instead of focusing on her democratic opponent here before the June 7th primary, the campaign is already turning to what’s next.
Hundreds of people waited for hours to get close to the former president, but because it was outside, a crowd even formed along the perimeter, just to get a glimpse.
“I’m excited to be able to see him this close up, I mean it’s remarkable and I’m hoping to shake his hand,” said Colleen Olinger, a Clinton supporter, before the rally.
A long line of people in blue shirts, supporting Secretary Hillary Clinton, waited for about an hour, all excited and honored that former president Bill Clinton chose Española.
.....................
He referred to Donald Trump, though not by name.
“Look, we are coming to the end of a long primary season and start of a tough general election… the answer is not walls but bridges,” said Clinton.
Former President Clinton says his wife supports raising the minimum wage, investing in infrastructure and focusing on clean energy.
After stepping down, people rushed to shake hands and take pictures. Watch video above.
...................
Hillary Clinton and her democratic opponent, Bernie Sanders, both rallied in southern California on Tuesday.
There is no word yet if she’ll also make a trip to New Mexico herself.
The former president will be here in Albuquerque Wednesday afternoon. He will be speaking at the Alamosa Community Center at 12:45 p.m.............
