New York Times: Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Nomination

[onehandle]

For the past painful year, the Republican presidential contenders have been bombarding Americans with empty propaganda slogans and competing, bizarrely, to present themselves as the least experienced person for the most important elected job in the world. Democratic primary voters, on the other hand, after a substantive debate over real issues, have the chance to nominate one of the most broadly and deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history.

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.

1. YAY!

[berni_mccoy]

2. Old news. I wonder if they're regretting it...

[NWCorona]

3. Probably

[onehandle]

5. Why would they? Both candidates have the same attributes as they did two months ago.

Endorsements are based on qualities and experience, not on big rallies.

Or else they would have endorsed Nader in 2000.

[berni_mccoy]

7. LOL... a world of change has happened in the race since then. And a shitload of truth has been

revealed about Hillary!

[geek tragedy]

4. I wonder if Bernie will get the NY Post, his supporters post stuff from that publication

here with some frequency, so long as the subject matter is critical of Hillary Clinton

[onehandle]

6. The 'Not Hillary' Party is waiting for the Washington Times endorsement.

They link to moonieville all the time.

[geek tragedy]

8. does the Daily Caller endorse in Democratic primaries? nt

[Kip Humphrey]

9. Not surprised that the Establishment endorses one of its own, but what a vacuous, incremental,

nonsense endorsement! Furthermore, one might point out to the editorial board that the "leading Republican candidates" are not competing in the Democratic nomination. They did get one thing almost entirely correct: Hillary Clinton is the choice of the Right for the Democrats.

10. You mean the paper that pushed the Iraq invasion?

Yeah, they're credible.

[questionseverything]

20. and defunded acorn by pushing that "pimp" video

they are barely fit for the bird cage liner

[NurseJackie]

11. Boom! That's a big one! :-D

[Armstead]

12. Boom -- That was from back in January

You're celebration is a little late

[JackRiddler]

13. JANUARY 31

and if ever there was a "dog bites man" story, this is it! Except it's more like toothless dog licking itself for pleasure.

[brooklynite]

15. Remind us how far back the anti-Clinton videos go?

[JackRiddler]

16. Whose?

If you mean the Times, I'm sure you're a daily reader - probably still of the print version? I read loads of it but don't bother with their video content.

Or in other words, if you have a claim/argument, you could always specify, provide links to the alleged mean videos, etc., etc.

[brooklynite]

19. No, I'm talking about all the anti-Hillary videos that Sanders people post here over and over...

...like the 2004 video from Elizabeth Warren (never mind that she called on Hillary to run 10 years later).

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Grey ladies stick together, and file this

under "News: Ancient history"

January 31.

[JackRiddler]

18. You couldn't resist the puns but...

if only it was a question of colorfulness, I really like Clinton's style. There, I said it. Not at all grey, though her thinking certainly is.

[Nanjeanne]

17. Shocker! I thought from their articles that they had endorsed her months ago.
