"I have nothing against Hillary, but I was a Bernie Sanders fan," Perry said. "I'm making a choice based on, not really the quality of the person, but based on the outcome of what could be if I don't go out and support the Democratic party."

Nancy Schnurr Rosen, a volunteer at the Democratic National Convention, is excited about the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
"I've seen a real dichotomy between the folks that are coming dressed extremely professionally like they are career politicians; then I've seen some folks decked out in the most unusual gear like it's Halloween," said Rosen. "I think it's really fun, not that they're not taking things seriously, but it's really showing how passionate they are about certain causes and what caucuses they're involved in and what they're throwing their support."
