Wisconsin State Journal Endorses Hillary Clinton
(They were for Mitt in 2012, Obama in 2008 and I believe for Bush II both times he ran).
In a time that requires a new normal of peace and stability, we cannot elect a president who would inflame global conflicts through irresponsible rhetoric. Nor can we elect someone who would fuel strife at home by pitting Americans against one another.
Many foreign policy decisions dont have easy answers. Harm can result regardless of what the United States does. But even in those situations, American leadership can be a force for good if it is dignified, well-informed and smart.
Hillary Clinton by far is best prepared to lead our nation toward peace and prosperity. The State Journal endorses the former secretary of state, U.S. senator and first lady in the Nov. 8 election.
Clinton is disciplined, knowledgeable and experienced. Unlike her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, a wealthy New York businessman and reality television star, Clinton will assemble a strong administration that can work with Congress toward bipartisan solutions.
While Trump last week was trying to dismiss his misogynist comments about women part of a stream of obnoxious behavior Clinton continued her less-than-flashy yet highly professional bid for the presidency.
Trumps scandal-a-day campaign has shown he would distract, isolate and embarrass our nation. The world doesnt need a United States in retreat, nor a stark reset of Americas politics and international posture.
The world needs a U.S. president who can actually lead. Clinton is that leader, and the world needs America to get this right.
