I liked this passage too

Clarke said he rejects the idea that his goals are unachievable — he’s impressed that Sanders is running on the promise of an even more progressive agenda for America than the first black president. “You just gotta follow your heart,” Clarke said, who had a “BERNIE!” button on the strap of his backpack. “Whatever is right in your heart and your mind that’s who you go with and Bernie is who I feel is right for the country right now.”

“It’s clear that he’s trying to relate to us,” Walker said.

Though she sang the anthem at the Sanders event, Haynes is undecided. She’s leaning toward Sanders, whom she feels is most genuine in his approach to HBCUs. But she came anyway to hear what Clyburn had to say about Clinton — and walked away mostly unimpressed. “While he said that his heart is with her, he didn’t advocate for her in a definitive way that she was the one candidate that you had to vote for to get changes made,” he said.
