HRC at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, NC last night

Pragmatism over populism? For many of the 1,100 Democrats who went to the Grady Cole Center on Monday night for Hillary Clinton’s campaign rally, the answer was yes.

“She’s electable,” Bruce Henderson of Charlotte told me while waiting for Clinton to arrive. “I don’t think Bernie (Sanders) is electable, he’s not a practical choice. I want to use my vote to its best advantage.”

Teresa Hernandez, owner of Pura Vida art gallery in NoDa, told me Clinton offers “substance” while Sanders is more about making promises. Hernandez, who moved to the U.S. at age 5, said that “as a woman and as a minority,” she believes Clinton has the experience to get things done in Washington.

Terry Dix of Charlotte said Clinton is defending his rights as a gay man. Asked whether he had qualms about Clinton pivoting from opposing same-sex marriage, Dix said, “Everyone evolves. I have always loved Hillary Clinton. I’ve always loved Bill Clinton. I wanted her to run for president.”

4. BS Supporters protesting???

"Across the street from the Grady Cole Center, a group of Sanders supporters held up large, glowing letters and numbers spelling out B-E-R-N-I-E 2-0-1-6 as attendees left the Clinton rally."
