Hill's Group: Sun-Times Endorses Hillary Clinton, John Kasich in Presidential Primaries

The paper's editorial board cites Clinton's "professional and personal skills" and Kasich's refusal to "jump in the mud pit" as part of the rationale for the endorsements

The editorial board writes that her failure to institute a single-payer healthcare program in the 1990's taught her to work more closely with Congress in a bipartisan manner, partnering on various initiatives with unlikely allies in Republican officials.

"Domestically, Hillary Clinton could be very good for Chicago, even if she had not grown up in suburban Park Ridge," the endorsement adds. "She has long favored the kind of common-sense gun controls this city and country desperately need. She has been a champion of civil rights, women’s issues and comprehensive immigration reform, including the creation of a pathway to citizenship. She opposes privatizing Social Security and believes working people should be guaranteed, by law, up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave."

1. A brokered GOP convention is probably Kasich's only chance. And ...

... even if that happens, Trump will go third-party and split the vote. Dems win!

3. I thought I read about the many 'sore loser laws' that would make it extremely hard ~

for Dump to get on state ballots. I guess he could threaten to sue them all.

4. A write in campaign, perhaps?

He'd manage to gum up the works somehow.

5. I hope he does. Or all of those others do :-)
