Indy Week, NC: Endorsements: Hillary Clinton Is Democrats’ Best Bet to Keep the White House

http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/your-participation-is-mandatory-the-indys-2016-primary-endorsements/Content?oid=4998377&storyPage=2





..........................What's more, Clinton has an unrivaled grasp on the nitty-gritty of policy, especially foreign policy. Put simply, she's studied harder for this test than any candidate on either side of the aisle. Just as important: Clinton's resilient. She's endured endless personal criticisms and half-cocked investigations and contrived pseudoscandals—remember the time Republicans "investigated" whether she murdered Vincent Foster?—and lived to tell the tale. ...................


..................But beyond those demerits, the thing that stands out about Hillary Clinton is that she's a grinder, a scrapper—a pragmatist who looks to nudge the ball forward and lock in progressive gains. And that's what this election is about: protecting the Affordable Care Act, protecting existing social programs, and filling vacancies on the Supreme Court.

In our view, Clinton is best positioned to both win the White House and, once there, move the needle ever-so-slightly in the right direction.

And, yeah, while we think the world of Bernie, it's about time we had a woman in charge.
