Related: About this forumIowan hopes to cast 20th presidential vote — for Clinton
Des Moines Register:Ruline Steiningers political endorsement might not come with star power, but it exemplifies staying power.
Steininger, 102, of Pleasant Hill, expects to vote this fall in her 20th presidential election. She hopes to cast her vote for Hillary Clinton, whom she considers one of the best candidates shes ever seen.
The retired teacher came to Grand View University to hear the former secretary of state speak Friday. She backed Clinton in the 2008 Democratic caucuses and plans to do so again Monday.
I think shes the best qualified. She has so much experience, Steininger said, shortly before the candidate took the stage.

My Mom will 85 on Nov. 1st and is a big Hillary supporter (my 85 year old Dad is too). She always says, "I hope I live long enough to vote for Hillary for president."

I support Sanders, but that's awesome for her to be able to participate. HRC looks genuinely kind toward her in that photo, too. Sweet.
My 85 year old mother supports Hillary (and look an awful lot like Ms. Steininger)
