Sanders calls on turned-off voters to turn out for Clinton

In a pair of university stops in battleground Ohio on Saturday, Bernie Sanders used his enduring popularity with young voters to urge support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

The Vermont senator praised his former Democratic rival’s agenda as the right choice for millennial and union voters and said those who are turned off by their choices in the election should still turn out, even if they think “everybody’s horrible.”

Sanders told gatherings at the University of Akron and Kent State that Republican Donald Trump’s statements against Muslims, women, Mexicans and other groups threaten to unravel decades of work to improve equality.

Sanders also promoted Clinton’s positions on climate change, a minimum wage increase and tuitionfree public college.

Pence had “extensive evaluations” at the hospital in 2014 following the discovery of that condition, and Busk said “the cardiologists feel you have a very good and strong heart.”
