During CNN’s Democratic town hall, a first-time caucusgoer leaning towards Bernie Sanders asked Hillary Clinton about the lack of enthusiasm surrounding her campaign — and said that people his age think she’s dishonest.
“It feels like there’s lot of young people, like myself, we’re very passionate supporters of Bernie Sanders, and I just don’t see the same enthusiasm from younger people for you.
