Boston Globe Endorses Hillary Clinton
by Patrick Howley 25 Jan 2016
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has won the endorsement of the Boston Globe over
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16%.
The liberal newspaper recognized some of Clinton’s
“weaknesses” but eventually decided to go with her over Bernie Sanders. The Globe
editorial board wrote:
Few Americans lack an opinion of Hillary Clinton, who has
served as secretary of state, a senator from New York, and as the first lady
during the presidency of her husband, Bill Clinton. She’s long been the bĂȘte noire
of conservatives. Their cartoonish conspiracy theories — remember Vince Foster?
— and unfounded attacks against her have, at times, triggered so much sympathy
for Clinton that some of her actual weaknesses have been allowed to slide.
Clinton is not perfect — especially on issues of financial regulation while she
represented New York. Her vote in the Senate to authorize the war in Iraq was a
mistake, as Sanders has taken every opportunity to point out…
But the best reason to support Clinton isn’t the
weaknesses of her opponents; it’s her demonstrated strengths and experience.
Even her most dyed-in-the-wool opponents ought to take a second look at her.
While Sanders has made an important contribution to the Democratic primary
campaign, it’s Clinton who would make a better president.
Clinton is trailing Sanders in New Hampshire and fighting
him tooth and nail in tough races in Iowa and South Carolina.
