'My conscience won't let me vote for a criminal': NH voters speak out against Trump
CNN correspondent Alayna Treene caught up with some voters in New Hampshire heading to vote in the primaries who were backing former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley over former President Donald Trump, and asked them to explain their thinking.
What she found was voters horrified by the former president's moral character, and desperate to return the Republican Party to a more conventional kind of politics.
"We caught up with a couple voters as they were leaving the polling station this morning," Treene told anchor Poppy Harlow. "It was interesting. We talked to two who said that they did vote for Nikki Haley. They said that they did not feel comfortable voting for Donald Trump. Both argue that they would consider voting for Biden if it were a two-man race between Trump and Biden."

"I was a lifelong Republican until President Trump," said Kathryn Wood. "I would like to get the Republican Party back to its normal conservative values."
"My conscience won't allow me to vote for a criminal," said Jack Wolber. When Treene asked him what compelled him to vote for Haley, he replied, "She's not Trump."
Haley is the final major candidate competing with Trump for the nomination. Recent polling has suggested that New Hampshire could be more competitive than Iowa, but that Trump is still largely holding a lead going into tonight's primary.
