Sanders, Trump supporters mix it up after rally – By Josie Albertson-Grove (New Hampshire Union Leader) / Feb 11 2020
MANCHESTER — As people streamed out of President Donald Trump’s rally on Monday night, they met a small group of supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“I thought there would be a lot more protesters tonight,” said Cheryl Clickstein of Manchester, who held up a Sanders campaign sign. Fewer than 10 protesters were left after the rally.
Clickstein said most of Sanders’ supporters were probably at his Monday rally in Durham, or resting up after long days of door-knocking. But she said she thought it was important to stand outside the Trump rally with her sign to show she stood for something.
Ken Spillman, another Sanders supporter who elected not to go to Sanders’ Durham rally on Monday, said he it felt more important to protest the Trump rally.
“I’m not just for Bernie, I’m against Trump,” he said. “Even though there are like 12,000 people who think Trump is awesome.”
“I’m worried about how divided this country is,” said Mark Danault of Manchester, holding up his Sanders sign toward people walking out of the rally.
