"While our personal feelings about the unequal distribution of wealth and the unhealthy concentration of largely unbridled power in banks, corporations and the super-wealthy are very closely aligned with Sanders’ thinking, we do not believe in the ultimate viability of his candidacy or the practical fulfillment of his most compelling policy positions. It would be exciting to see Sanders elected as governor of a liberal state and push his positions in an environment where he is likely to find a sympathetic legislature. However, even if a majority of Americans were to elect him over a Republican rival – which we find much more doubtful than Clinton’s chances in the general election – a Republican-dominated Congress, as well as many Democrats, would stonewall and scorn him and his efforts, perhaps even more than they have obstructed and ridiculed Obama.
While we believe any of the Republican contenders, and especially Trump, could force a drastically worse future on this country, we do not believe the Democrats have the power or leverage to effect a major redistribution of wealth, opportunity and influence as Sanders promises to do. In 2016, we think the only positive change that is possible is incremental change, and to effect that we need a supremely competent and experienced inside player who knows our government and economy intimately. There is only one such candidate on the ballot, and it is African Americans who will elect her. Clinton’s timely and critical success in Nevada and South Carolina (after a sound defeat in New Hampshire), followed by victories in the deep and upper South, came from the loyalty – by huge margins – of black voters. After her shocking upset loss in Michigan on Tuesday, she needs to win in Missouri and Illinois. That means she will need a strong showing from black voters to win these two important Midwest states. We strongly endorse and encourage you to vote for HILLARY CLINTON FOR U.S. PRESIDENT on Tuesday, March 15"
