In reply to the discussion: NY Times : Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)8. Wow! I love it! <3
So much to love! Here's a small sample ...
Hillary Clinton would be the first woman nominated by a major party. She served as a senator from a major state (New York) and as secretary of state not to mention her experience on the national stage as first lady with her brilliant and flawed husband, President Bill Clinton. The Times editorial board has endorsed her three times for federal office twice for Senate and once in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary and is doing so again with confidence and enthusiasm.
...
In the end, though, Mr. Sanders does not have the breadth of experience or policy ideas that Mrs. Clinton offers. His boldest proposals to break up the banks and to start all over on health care reform with a Medicare-for-all system have earned him support among alienated middle-class voters and young people. But his plans for achieving them arent realistic, while Mrs. Clinton has very good, and achievable, proposals in both areas.
...
Hillary Clinton is the right choice for the Democrats to present a vision for America that is radically different from the one that leading Republican candidates offer a vision in which middle-class Americans have a real shot at prosperity, womens rights are enhanced, undocumented immigrants are given a chance at legitimacy, international alliances are nurtured and the country is kept safe.

That was the Washington Post (assuming you mean the Watergate scandal and not Spy Game)
