america is at stake and everyone knows who donald trump s now we have to show them who we are. the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. so let that fuel us in our march toward 2020. joining me now is nbc campaign a manned be goldman who covered yesterday s convention and all things new hampshire. we just heard from some of the front runners in the race. we remember that elizabeth warren got a massive applause when she took the stage there in manchester. whose message resonated the most with these crucial delegates and voters? good morning, jo. yes, elizabeth warren had an incredible reception in the arena yesterday, close to a two minute standing ovation and voters and delegates that i spoke with afterwards were receptive to what she had to say as well as the overall enthusiasm of the crowd. her volunteers and supporters passed out thunder sticks and signs to get people engaged with
