The Boston Globe seems to like statists, liars, corrupted cronyists and hypocrites. Why else would one of the biggest newspapers in the country endorse former Secretary of State and New York Senator Hillary Clinton?
That’s right. The Globe editorial board announced Monday it has endorsed Clinton for president, citing her strengths and feeling sympathy for her when conservatives attack her.
Here is what the editorial board writes:
“Few Americans lack an opinion of Hillary Clinton, who has served as secretary of state, a senator from New York, and as the first lady during the presidency of her husband, Bill Clinton. She’s long been the bête noire of conservatives. Their cartoonish conspiracy theories — remember Vince Foster? — and unfounded attacks against her have, at times, triggered so much sympathy for Clinton that some of her actual weaknesses have been allowed to slide. Clinton is not perfect — especially on issues of financial regulation while she represented New York. Her vote in the Senate to authorize the war in Iraq was a mistake, as Sanders has taken every opportunity to point out…
“But the best reason to support Clinton isn’t the weaknesses of her opponents; it’s her demonstrated strengths and experience. Even her most dyed-in-the-wool opponents ought to take a second look at her. While Sanders has made an important contribution to the Democratic primary campaign, it’s Clinton who would make a better president.”
Nationally, Clinton maintains a comfortable 20-point lead. However, in the early voting states, Clinton is tied with Bernie Sanders in Iowa, and Sanders is up nearly 20 points in New Hampshire. It seems like Martin O’Malley could play spoiler in Iowa because he has close to five percent in support.
