Major Florida newspaper endorses Hillary Clinton in democratic primary, endorses no republican
By dailynewsbin |





March 5, 2016




Just ten days before the democratic and republican primaries are set to take place in Florida, one of the state’s most popular and influential newspapers has officially spoken in both races. On the democratic side, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel is endorsing Hillary Clinton, because she’s “telling voters what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.” But on the republican side, the newspaper is taking the unusual primary season step of refusing to endorse any of the bunch.

In an Editorial Board piece titled “Why we can’t endorse Trump, Rubio, Cruz or Kasich,” the Sun-Sentinel makes the case against all four of them. Donald Trump “lacks the experience and temperament to be president.” Marco Rubio, the home-state senator and native son of nearby Miami, “lacks the experience, work ethic and gravitas needed to be president.” As for tea party extremist Ted Cruz? He “scares us.” And as for John Kasich, “we can’t urge you to vote for someone who doesn’t have a chance of winning the nomination.” It’s a wholesale rejection of the entire republican slate.

3. The entire article from the Sun-Sentinel

It's not all non-critical of Hillary, but is an excellent summary of why she is a good choice.

Overall, however, Hillary Clinton is smart, steady and able to rebound quickly from defeat. When her attempt at health care reform failed during her husband's first term, Clinton worked with senators from both parties – Democrat Ted Kennedy and Republican Orrin Hatch -- to create the Children's Health Insurance Program, which cut the uninsured rate of American children in half. More than eight million children have coverage because of the program.

Critics who claim Clinton has no record of accomplishment despite her sparkling resume need to look closer at her record.

She helped secure more than $21 billion for World Trade Center redevelopment. She led investigations into the health problems of 9/11 first responders. She promoted increased National Institutes of Health funding for research into cancer and asthma. She was the principal author of sanctions – particularly on oil imports to the European Union -- that brought Iran to the negotiating table. She helped bring about a 2012 cease-fire between Hamas and Israel that headed off an Israeli invasion of Gaza. She named an "ambassador at large" for women's rights.

"Nearly every foreign policy victory of President Obama's second term," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., "has Secretary Clinton's fingerprints on it."
