2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSioux City Journal endorses Hillary Clinton
Without question, the 68-year-old Clinton possesses a breadth of experiences in public life unmatched by her Democratic opponents. In the "arena" at the fulcrum of national and international events since the '90s, Clinton requires no on-the-job training. She understands issues and knows leaders, both domestic and foreign, and appreciates the processes and peculiarities of the federal government from the perspective of both the legislative and executive branches.
From children to families to health care to human rights, including women's rights, to marriage equality, Clinton champions issues and positions true to traditional Democratic principles. She bolsters her domestic credentials with foreign policy experience as America's chief diplomat.
Overall, we view her positions as closer to the political center than, certainly, the "democratic socialism" advocated by her most-formidable opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose "revolution" of a dramatic increase in the size of government and spending is far too revolutionary for our taste and, we believe, for the taste of most Americans.
Do not diminish, we might add, the value to her candidacy of having husband Bill, a popular former president, as an adviser and campaigner.
