Syracuse (NY) Post-Standard Endorses Hillary Clinton [View all]
The choice New York Democrats must make in Tuesday's presidential primary is between Hillary Clinton, a pragmatist, and Bernie Sanders, the idealist.
We believe Clinton has the experience and political savvy for uncertain times. She's a proven leader on the world stage and especially in New York, where she served ably in the Senate and represented Upstate interests.
Clinton's long public life has been a help and hindrance. She expanded the role of first lady, ran for the Senate, pursued the presidency and served President Barack Obama as his secretary of state...
Like Donald Trump on the Republican side, Sanders blames all our problems on one thing -- wealthy people and big corporations. He offers simplistic answers to complex problems.
Sanders has always positioned himself as an outsider. As an agitator, he doesn't have to worry about making political calculations. As president, he would have to if he wants to accomplish anything with his lofty promises.
We are confident Clinton understands the big picture -- of global politics --and the little picture -- of the everyday lives of Upstate New York's people and businesses, thanks largely to her time in the Senate.
On Tuesday, April 19, we think Clinton is a better choice.
