NEWTON, Iowa _ Matthew Cox arrived at an Elizabeth Warren event here unsure of who he would support in the state's upcoming caucuses, indicating he was still deciding among four Democratic presidential candidates: Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang and Warren.
That made him a prime target for Liv Ellis.
Ellis, a young clipboard-wielding staffer sporting a nose-ring, orange jacket and whitewashed denim, approached Cox before the Massachusetts senator even took the stage inside a refurbished Maytag building. Ellis explained she was once a Sanders supporter herself, and gently noted that on Buttigieg, "the main difference is how they get their money."
