Schath said her thoughts align with Sanders on nearly every issue
March 8, 2016
Who do you support for president?
I support Bernie Sanders. I think … the way it’s looking right now, there’s not a lot of great candidates to be completely honest, but I think he would definitely be the best out of all the front-runners.
What were your first impressions of Sanders as a candidate?
I started looking into it and … out of all the candidates, most of my views line up with his, like there isn’t anything about him that I really just disagree with. All around … I agree with what he thinks.
What are some of the issues you think are important going into this election that Sanders can fix?
If [one of the] Republican candidates were to become president, I think the immigration laws and how all of that is handled in the United States would just totally go bad and everything would be horrible. I like the way he handles that. And the rights of people … like women’s rights, LGBT rights — he cares about everyone.
Why can Sanders win the Democratic nomination?
If people like high schoolers who are going to be able to vote actually do, then I think he would definitely end up winning, because he does fit more, agree more and connect more with a younger audience.
