Lion Heart 15,041 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Washington (CNN) The New York Times' editorial board on Saturday endorsed Hillary Clinton and John Kasich for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, a potential boost for the candidates two days before the Iowa caucuses. The Times said it picked Clinton over her top rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, due to her experience and policy ideas. It also cast doubt on Sanders' ability to enact several of his key policies, including breaking up large banks and creating a Medicare-for-all health care plan. "Hillary Clinton is the right choice for the Democrats to present a vision for America that is radically different from the one that leading Republican candidates offer -- a vision in which middle-class Americans have a real shot at prosperity, women's rights are enhanced, undocumented immigrants are given a chance at legitimacy, international alliances are nurtured and the country is kept safe," the Times said. ... Kasich, the governor of Ohio, deserves the Republican nod because he is "the only plausible choice for Republicans tired of the extremism and inexperience on display in this race," the Times said. But, the paper contended, Kasich "is no moderate," citing his battles with public-sector unions, support for limiting abortion rights and opposition to same-sex marriage. "Still, as a veteran of partisan fights and bipartisan deals during nearly two decades in the House, he has been capable of compromise and believes in the ability of government to improve lives," the Times wrote. Kasich quickly tweeted his appreciation for the endorsement. http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/30/politics/new-york-times-endorses-hillary-clinton/index.html http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/opinion/sunday/hillary-clinton-endorsement.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/opinion/sunday/a-chance-to-reset-the-republican-race.html ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Heart 15,041 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 In the end, though, Mr. Sanders does not have the breadth of experience or policy ideas that Mrs. Clinton offers. His boldest proposals — to break up the banks and to start all over on health care reform with a Medicare-for-all system — have earned him support among alienated middle-class voters and young people. But his plans for achieving them aren’t realistic, while Mrs. Clinton has very good, and achievable, proposals in both areas. The third Democratic contender, Martin O’Malley, is a personable and reasonable liberal who seems more suited for the jobs he has already had — governor of Maryland and mayor of Baltimore — than for president. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/opinion/sunday/hillary-clinton-endorsement.html?_r=0 ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, it says he lacks experience relatively. Given Clinton's background that's hardly negotiable. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop using that buzzword. Not everyone who doesn't side with Bernie is an "establishment". You'd think the Berniebots would pick up on that after the denunciation of Planned Parenthood out of all organizations. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Sister 9,907 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 This is only the quiet beginning, make no mistake that Hillary knows all the right people and all will feel like they at the least, owe her something. This will all go swimmingly. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
