tong some -- we're going come together to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of this country. senators -- senators shaheen and hassan, and i sat through the impeachment process and i

going to win here in new hampshire as well. i want to thank the people of new hampshire for playing an inremely important role moving the country forward in a progressive way. four years ago when i was here campaigning, many of the ideas we talked about -- raising the minimum wage to a living wage of -- those ideasr considered radical. you know what? they're not radical today. seven states have passed a $15 an hour minimum wage. ago, we talked about making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling student debt. radical then. not so radical today. , states and country are movingcounties that direction. four years ago we said health , not a a human rights privilege. but there is something wrong when we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people as a human rights. four years ago, we talked about climate change being a global crisis. those ideasrs ago seemed radical. the people of new hampshire said, no, these are not radical ideas. these are ideas the united states of america, the working class, it needs. i want to thank new hampshire. i want to thank new hampshire for helping to leave the political revolution that began four years -- lead the political revolution that began four years ago and now it is time to complete that revolution. time for us to come , to end the divisiveness, the racism, the homophobia, the xenophobia, the religious bigotry of the trump administration. and now is the time not only to defeat donald trump but to transform this country and a government and an all of that works for us, not just the 1%. that is what my campaign is about. thank you very much. applause]d [crowd chanting "bernie!"] it a to the streets" pl taking it to the playing.] democrats, please welcome to the stage, governor deval patrick. -- new hampshire democrats, please welcome to the stage, the other deval patrick. patrick: thank you. thank you, new hampshire democrats. thank you so much. well, good evening, everybody. agrees seem we can all that we have an unfit president. , a lawn sign in front of a house in concorde any functioning adult 2020." i understand the sentiment. but having talked to thousands, tens of thousands of people in new hampshire and all across the country, i persuaded that notacing president trump is enough. indicatorseconomic are not the whole story. low if you count all three of the minimum wage jobs people have to have to survive. inflation is low as long as you don't have the cost of health care or housing or education that make it possible to lift themselves and move forward. you know and i do that in small ,owns and rural communities young people are moving away to make away. they are using credit cards and a food pantry to make ends meet. over trapped by student debt or a criminal record. you see, it is true. it is true that a president who demeans the vulnerable, cages children, wakes up every day trying to divide us, make it bese, but it is going to former president trump that would make sure the middle class are a paycheck or two away from being bankrupt. those of people asking themselves questions not just about the character of the candidate or the party, but the character of our country. whether there is a place for them in america's future and it is the same question asked for generations in the neighborhood i grew up in on the southside of chicago in poverty. we were surrounded by broken sidewalks, broken schools, broken families. , those people who had no reason to gave me a reason to have faith in the american dream . but with that faith i have a chance to go to law school and served as a civil rights leader and a two-term governor of massachusetts. you see i did not discover injustice just lately. i lived it. and i won.ainst it i understand the nagging insecurities and unfairness that feeling all across america today. and we need to answer them not with a proposal to just get even but a proposal to get better. to be better. behind theeople policy, the voices over the applause line. that is what we have. we have to see the people we serve. or seek to serve. proudcause we did, i am the children of massachusetts ranked as high as you can get in 90% of achievement, that the people in massachusetts have health care today. that the coal plants in massachusetts are closed. the energy is cleaner. we have reached the clean energy goals of the paris accords six years ago. we see the people we serve. above theeir voices applause line and that is what we have to be about. false choices.ct i am a proud -- i am a proud democrat, but i don't think you have to hate republicans to be a good democrat. i don't think you have to hate business to be a social justice warrior. i don't think you have to hate police to believe black lives matter. reject falls choices. reject false choices. we need to start making room in our plans and our heart for the woke and still waking. and how about we also start trusting the american people. ready.e they are ready for a progressive agenda that speaks to them. if we will make room for them and answer the question about the character of the country, and i will tell you why i know they are ready. at the end of my second term we were dealing with a crisis at southern border, very like the one today with thousands of unaccompanied children feeling violent. .- fleeing violence and the federal authorities were overwhelmed then just as they are today and president obama ifed a number of governors we would shelter those children while they were being processed as refugees and i agreed and i explained my decision. i explained my decision as coming from a place of , but even and faith so, on social media i was called a child of god. i was running errands at the local home depot and i was confronted by a very angry man in the checkout line who shouted at me. he said, "governor, i think your decision was wrong. my own wife came here as a legal immigrant and that is the way that i think it ought to be. and i just want you to know i think you are wrong." i thanked him for his feedback. i had six other encounters that day on that same-store and that same -- in that same-store and that same subject. "governor, your dream the right thing." "governor thank you for looking out for those kids." it occurred to me, my friends we have learned to shout our anger and whisper our kindness and it's completely upside down. we need to learn again to shout kindness. to shout compassion. that is the answer to the question about the american character. that is who we are. if that is the kind of , if you wantu want a leader who will shout justice i am your guy. i ask you for your help and your vote. thank you, new hampshire. good night. [cheers and applause] ♪ >> new hampshire democrats, please welcome to the stage u.s. senator michael bennet. ♪ sen. bennet: hello, new hampshire. thank you. for those who have hung around, thank you for hanging around. i can't tell you how much i from the bottom of my heart. i have spent more time in new hampshire than any other candidate or president in this election. -- for president in this election and today i had my 50th townhall in the last 10 weeks in new hampshire. i have started to run out of places to go and that is why tomorrow i will make my way to the north country, and i want to tell you one thing you already know, but the united states senate has a 9% approval rating. a 9% approval rating. to the floor chart of the senate and i ask, what else is a 9% approval rating. no one else does. 40% approval rating. more people want this country to be a communist country -- 11% -- then approve of the senate. has a 5% castro approval rating. if we just had a few more senators like jeanne shaheen and maggie hassan we would have a 90% approval rating than a 9% approval rating. if you have been to one of my townhall's, you know i start them by saying i will take every question and i will take any criticism. people, ask me a question you would not ask another politician because you would hurtrried you their feelings. i was in urban schools superintendent for many years. you can't hurt my feelings. and over the last two weeks, we have had a candid conversation here in new hampshire and you have asked all of us two important questions. are you going to be donald trump? that's an important question. the other question is equally important, and that question is, how are you going to get anything done back there? how are you going to get anything done? and that's the right question to ask because our government is immobilized. our government is broken. and it's not right accident. it has been broken by the ideological ambition of the freedom caucus. it has been broken by the cynicism of mitch mcconnell. and it has been broken by the incompetence of donald trump. i tell people i would not want anyone to be a cynical or ,alevolent as mitch mcconnell but i do think it was high time we were as strategic as mitch mcconnell. and let me give you a hint from yesterday's newspaper. mitch mcconnell was taking a victory lap from his cover-up of the president's misdeeds in washington. he was taking a victory lap from his inability in the senate to hear witnesses and documents that were literally pounding on the doors outside the capitol. we are too busy to hear that, the senate said. the senate said, voted on 20 amendments last year. the senate passed eight commitments last year because that is what the freedom caucus want. as long as we are putting right-wing judges on the court richutting the taxes of people every now and then he is getting what he wants. that is what he wants. this is his and state. and yesterday in the newspaper what he said was, i did not hold back witnesses. they did not have the votes. he said they, the democrats, didn't have the votes and then he said, they need to go out and win more elections because they don't have the votes. , but guessay it what? mitch mcconnell is right. we need to go out and win more elections. that is what we have to do. otherwise these ideas don't matter, that you have heard tonight. ideas are cute bumper stickers or ways of raising money online, and that's not good enough. we have to win elections. in we have to win elections purple states. i am the only candidate in this race who has won two elections in a purple state and that's in thent than running commonwealth of massachusetts. it's different than running in vermont. it's different than running in california. and i am running on an agenda that can unify the american people and allow us to win in these purple states. it's called the real deal and it is progressive and it addresses the needs of our middle class people trying -- middle class and people trying to get into the middle class. .et me tell you before i was a candidate for this job, i was a superintendent of the denver public schools. 95,000 kids. thank you. thank you, you warrant people. thank you. en people.ou, you warr -- their parents were not coming to my town halls because they were working to entry jobs and if they came, they would say, michael, we are killing ourselves and no matter what we -- do, we can't get our kids in a matter what we do, we can get her kids out of poverty. if we don't win elections, we can't do anything about that. our kids can't fix their own schools. our kids can't fix our broken immigration system. our kids can't fix climate change. our kids can't fix our tax code so work pays in this country. that's the work we have to do. that's the work we can't lose. that is why donald trump needs to be a one term president. i am asking for your help on tuesday. we will win the senate back. we will win 55 seats. thank you. thank you. thank you. ♪ >> new hampshire democrats, please welcome to the stage congresswoman tulsi gabbard. ♪ [cheering] rep. gabbard: hello, new hampshire. hello. how are you guys doing?
