Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: Endorsements and Pro-Hillary editorials [View all]radical noodle
(9,323 posts)63. Editorial Board of Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer
Hillary Clinton is the most capable, experienced and knowledgeable Democratic candidate for president.
The former First Lady, secretary of state and New York senator has been in the political trenches virtually her whole life. She knows the issues. She understands the art of the deal. She's credible and she's impressive.
She not only can win the White House, but she also will be ready once she gets there, a description that does not apply to her worthy but ideologically narrow primary opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is so far out of the mainstream, and so ideologically rigid, that he's unlikely to find traction for his ideas even were he to be elected -- leaving him, and the nation, adrift. Given Sanders' self-identification as a democratic socialist, he is also likely to be a far more polarizing figure in the White House.
By contrast, Clinton knows Washington, knows how to get things done, and will get things done.
