Hillary Clinton has been telling audiences as she campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination that she wants to make the country “whole.” Donald Trump wondered recently: What does that mean? Actually, the idea is simple, sound and needed.

The country faces sharp divisions. They are apparent whether the subject is race, politics, economics or culture. She sees a presidency devoted to easing the many divides, not in a sweeping way, but by governing, piece by piece, as the difficult political landscape requires.

Most important, that “whole” means addressing income inequality, and she has precise ideas for, among other things, altering the tax code, boosting manufacturing, regulating Wall Street, attacking racial injustice and expanding opportunity through education. Clinton has unmatched knowledge, experience and preparation in this campaign. The former senator from New York understands well how to navigate the rough passages of Washington, having spent time in the legislative and executive branches.

Watch the debates, and no participant from either party has displayed a stronger grasp of the range of issues. If she has familiar baggage and hardly rates as a natural campaigner, she is the complete candidate. We recommend the election of Hillary Clinton in the Ohio Democratic primary on March 15...............................

BTW, most/all papers endorse candidates from both parties in primaries...

Did you want them to endorse Trump? Rubio?

7. Not sure that an endorsement of Obama is some kind of feather in their cap

He's an economic neo-liberal and a neo-conservative interventionist.

He's a bad candidate who happens to be right on social issues...like a 1980s midwestern Republican.

8. Did you want them to endorse Romney in 2012?

9. I think the logical choice was Jill Stein nt

10. Did you not notice the name of the website on your way in? N/t

[IllinoisLabour]

12. Jill Stein is a better Democrat than anyone but Sanders and Warren

She's like me...we didn't leave the party; the party left us.

I'm only here until you guys do the dumb thing and eliminate the candidate who brings indies like me to the polls for you.

It was as close to a mathematical certainty as you can get in politics that Romney or Obama would be elected president in 2012 and they made the best choice.

4. We must protect the oligarchy at all costs.

The opposite of the "pie in the sky" approach.
