Endorsement: Few presidential candidates are as battle-tested as Hillary Clinton. She's earned the Democratic nomination.
Hillary Clinton deserves her due.
Not just because she has risen higher than any woman in American politics, but because she is by far the most experienced candidate of any of those running in either party this year. In fact, she is one of the most experienced people to ever run for president.
Sanders has been good for American politics and good for Clinton, who needed a challenge, not a coronation. He has made her a better candidate.
The race isnt over, but the math now stalks Sanders. His days of viability are numbered.
Clinton will win this race because of qualities she showed as a young woman. While Sanders went off into fantasy land, offering free college to students and a single-payer health-care system, Clinton kept it anchored, proposing subsidized college educations while not tossing the entire bill to taxpayers.
Her enemies, and they are legion, have sought to tear her down. But she is still standing, and on the cusp of the highest office in the land.
She has the mettle to be president. The sound judgment to be commander in chief.
For that reason, The Arizona Republic recommends when Arizonans vote in Tuesdays Democratic primary, they vote for Hillary Clinton.

(55,981 posts)Bush's lies to the Senate. She said Hussein was rebuilding his nuclear capability and harboring al qaeda. She knew this to be untrue at the time. Good judgement? Even as recently as last week she misspoke and told the truth that she supported the Reagan's actions (no action) on HIV and AIDS. Good judgement?
