8:30 p.m. – Retired Navy Admiral and N.H. native John Hutson speaks at DNC

Retired Rear Adm. John Hutson earned a large cheer from the Democratic National Convention audience when he blasted Donald Trump for his previous disparaging remarks about Arizona Sen. John McCain.

“Donald, you’re not fit to polish John McCain’s boots,” Hutson said, as the crowd roared in response.

Hutson called Trump a dangerous and inexperienced leader.

“Unlike Donald Trump, there are two things I know an awful lot about,” Hutson said. “Law and order.”

Hutson affirmed his support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, calling her a strong and tested leader.

In addition to his time in the military, Hutson is a retired dean of the University of New Hampshire School of Law.

Hutson also spoke at the 2008 convention. He addressed the crowd in Philadelphia on Wednesday, speaking about national security and foreign policy.

1:30 p.m. – N.H. Sanders delegate personally endorses Clinton

Coos County Democratic Party chairwoman and Sanders delegate Emily Jacobs announced Wednesday morning she will endorse Hillary Clinton.

“I feel it’s very important, we need to stick together as a team,” Jacobs said. “Trump is a very scary person.”

Jacobs said she wanted to make her endorsement before the convention finishes and said she doesn’t expect other Sanders supporters to immediately follow her lead. She added her endorsement is being made with down ballot races in mind.

“It’s going to help with the other races; it’s critical,” she said.

Sanders spoke to the New Hampshire delegation this morning, which Jacobs said was an emotional moment.

“Bernie will always have my heart,” she said.

11 a.m. – Vermont politician compares Trump to Hitler

Vermont politicians warned the Northern New England delegation of the potential consequences of a Trump presidency on Monday morning.

Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy asked delegates to think about what the Supreme Court would look like with Trump as president.

“The Supreme Court has always been an issue people don’t look at,” Leahy said. “A lot of the people in this room will not live long enough to see the end of the damage a Trump Supreme Court will give us.”

Former Vermont governor Madeleine Kunin, who came to the United States as a child because of the Holocaust, said the prospect of a Trump presidency scared her.

Kunin said Trump’s style of firing people up “reminds me of the days of Hitler and Goebbels.”

10 a.m. – Bernie Sanders delivers emotional remarks at delegation breakfast

Bernie Sanders got emotional as he thanked the state delegations of New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont this morning.

All three states voted for Sanders during the Democratic primaries. 

“It brings tears to my eyes, it really does, the kind of support we have recieved,” Sanders said, noting he got 86 percent of the vote in his home state of Vermont.

Sanders also thanked his New Hampshire supporters for helping launch his campaign nationally. Sanders overwhelmingly won the state’s primary, his first major victory.

8 a.m. – O’Malley stops by N.H. delegation breakfast

Though he competed with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary, Martin O’Malley had nothing but glowing words for his formal rivals at Wednesday’s delegation breakfast.

O’Malley had harsh words for Republican nominee Donald Trump, who he called an “immigrant-bashing carnival barker,” a phrase he used often during the primaries.

“Bullies are just cowards in disguise,” O’Malley thundered as the crowd cheered. “It’s time to put this racist, fascist in his place.”
