New York primary: Meet 5 Hillary Clinton supporters

Nice story on the cross-section of support HRC has:

We found that Hillary Clinton's supporters run the gamut when it comes to demographics, from millennial voters to minorities to social workers to corporate professionals. The common thread unifying this seemingly disparate group is their preference for a pragmatic and experienced candidate who can "get things done." While most of these voters liked her rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, they felt he didn't have the wherewithal to put his idealistic plans into action.

Here are five of their stories:

Why Clinton: "There are two metrics that I use to evaluate any candidate for any office. Firstly, I ask myself, 'Does the candidate have a set of values that I believe in?' When I consider both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, the answer is a resounding 'Yes!' Both have good values and want to help those in need. The second question I ask myself is 'Can they get the job done?' Hillary Clinton has more experience than any presidential candidate in the history of American politics. She could hit the road running on Day One. While I like Bernie Sanders' values, the truth is that in his 20 years in Congress, he authored no legislation. With a Congress that is unwilling to take guns out of the hands of those on the 'no fly list,' how can we expect Bernie Sanders to be successful? I'm voting for Hillary because she has the most experience and I believe that she is best equipped to move our nation forward."
