VADO, NM - The elementary school in this farming community in between El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico resembled an arena ready to host a rock concert Saturday.

Thousands of people waited in line for hours to see Bernie Sanders. Among them was a smattering of hipsters, teenagers who can't vote, and old fashioned hippies.... Sarah Hammonds and Zachary Ortega of Las Cruces said they will not vote for Hillary Clinton in the fall if Sanders does not win the nomination.

"There is no chance anyone here will vote for Clinton. Never," Ortega said.... "The two-party system is broken," Ortega said. "That's what the DNC should have thought about before rigging the process in favor of Hillary."... "He's the only one talking about how money corrupts politics," Matthew Aguilar of Las Cruces said.... "It's going to take a lot of fighting with Democrats and Republicans," Aguilar said, "But as long as someone is willing to fight, I will support them."

Richard McDonald drove to Vado from Silver City, New Mexico. He supports Sanders' opposition to free trade agreements. "They are no good. They drive down wages and Bernie has been against them from the start," McDonald said.
