I couldn't be prouder than to stand with Ron Wyden in his endorsement of Hillary Clinton






Days before the Iowa caucus formally kicks off an increasingly tight race for Democratic presidential nomination, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said Saturday he was finally ready to reveal his pick: Hillary Clinton.

The endorsement from Oregon's senior senator isn't all that surprising. Wyden has previously said he generally supported and liked Clinton — a former secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York — but always stopped short of making things official, saying the time wasn't right.

Now that voting is about to start, Wyden said, things have changed. He explained his rationale in a phone interview from Medford, where he appeared at an event for Planned Parenthood.

What's your real name? Then you can show us how proudly you really are "standing with" a known real person.

But I am interested in seeing how seriously an anonymous internet poster can "proudly stand with" a known real person when they don't actually stand up themself.

He is no Democrat, in my view. Has nothing to do with who he endorses.

who in abundance are for Bernie will make a call to my Senator's office and discuss a few things with him while reminding him how many people were at the Portland rally for Bernie.
