Cleveland Plain Dealer endorses:

Hillary Clinton is the most capable, experienced and knowledgeable Democratic candidate for president.

The former First Lady, secretary of state and New York senator has been in the political trenches virtually her whole life. She knows the issues. She understands the art of the deal. She's credible and she's impressive.

She not only can win the White House, but she also will be ready once she gets there, a description that does not apply to her worthy but ideologically narrow primary opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Clinton knows Washington, knows how to get things done, and will get things done.

Yes, she carries significant negatives, partly because her partisan opponents have spent decades trying to tarnish her reputation. Even so, she stands in full command of the knotty issues, both domestic and foreign, that confront America today.

For all those reasons and more, Ohio Democrats should vote for Hillary Clinton next Tuesday.

Beyond the server issue, it's impossible to recall another American political couple investigated more often or more deeply than Clinton and her husband, dating back to Bill Clinton's time as governor of Arkansas (1979-80 and 1983-92). Whatever Hillary Clinton's flaws, her Republican foes, fearful of Clinton's political prospects, have waged what amounts to 30-plus years of relentless war against her.

And yet still she stands – likely poised for her party's presidential nomination. With early voting already underway in Ohio's March 15 primary, Democrats' choice is clear: Hillary Clinton for president.
