Hall County Democrats responded with mixed emotions after Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, with some ready to back the presumptive nominee for president and others looking elsewhere despite the prospect of a Trump administration. “We’re excited that he’s going to help defeat Donald Trump, and we want all of his supporters to know that their voices are needed if what we want is going to come to pass,” said Paul Glaze, a Hall resident who leads voter turnout efforts out of Athens. With hugs and handshakes, Sanders endorsed Clinton and emphatically told his supporters their “political revolution” must now turn to electing his Democratic former rival.
