Sacramento Bee Endorses HRC

We endorse Clinton because she is, by far, the more qualified, experienced and prepared candidate.

Indeed, the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state may be the most ready to become president on that first day of anyone in recent history. Besides the domestic and economic policies Sanders focuses on, the job also means being commander in chief. There’s no doubt that she is more knowledgeable and better equipped than Sanders for the world stage.

Clinton may not be the most passionate or inspirational of politicians, and she must do all she can to earn the public’s trust after the email scandal and other missteps. But she has the right priorities to rebuild the middle class, for instance. She is more likely to actually get things done in Washington, D.C., and offers the hope of helping to unite the country.

Democrats should embrace this historic opportunity for our nation to have its first female president...

Yet Sanders, a self-avowed democratic socialist, holds views far to the left of most Americans. Many of his proposals are unaffordable and unlikely to be enacted without his “political revolution.” Without a like-minded majority in Congress, it’s a recipe for more frustrating and damaging gridlock.

"We endorse Clinton because she is, by far, the more qualified, experienced and prepared candidate."

Isn't that what we should all want?
