love someone who needs it, it's a way of loving your own self, everybody's lovable.  Some of his supporters of course mainly hate her, and want to see her humiliated by losing to a younger, and less qualified man. And some are softer, they don't care much, see little difference, and would prefer to see some new faces in the white house. It's those of us who see her candidacy as transformative and who see the results-based model and the no-ego model, my goodness she can take a beating and keep on doing her best, and the helping those who are least able, who seem to have the harder time explaining to his supporters why we're so much in favor of her candidacy. That I can't explain, seems to me that some of his libertarian supporters are rather heartless.  But I'd bet hampster's friends are sweet and are responding to his need to be loved.  They want to give the kid a chance.
