Airzona Republic Endorsement: Hillary Clinton has the experience to lead

[brooklynite]

...snip...

But she is also battle-tested, hardened by the fierce political infighting and partisanship that consumes political life in this country.

Her enemies, and they are legion, have sought to tear her down. But she is still standing, and on the cusp of the highest office in the land.

She has the mettle to be president. The sound judgment to be commander in chief.

For that reason, The Arizona Republic recommends when Arizonans vote in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, they vote for Hillary Clinton.

1. Not surprised that the paper formerly known as The Az REPUBLICAN (!) endorsed a Goldwater Girl...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. As long as you and your associates call her President

[AzDar]

11. ... Of Goldman Sachs, MAYBE. My "associates" and I deem her WAY too corrupt to be POTUS.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Too bad she is walloping your candidate at the ballot box and on her way to becoming president.

I actually feel bad for him.

[AzDar]

17. Which candidate started out @ 3% and is now in a virtual dead heat with someone ONCE considered

the " Inevitable One"?

'LOSING': It does not mean what you think it means...

19. How can a candidate who is trailing by 2, 538, 372 votes:

How can a candidate who is trailing by 2, 538, 372 votes:

and 325 delegate behind:

be in a "virtual dead heat"?


That is absurd as saying the Philadelphia 76ers are in a dead heat with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the best record in the NBA Eastern Conference:

P.S. The article you linked is six months old!

SMH

[AzDar]

20. As I'm SURE you know... the OTHER HALF of the country now gets to vote.

Go, Bernie... GO!





edited to address: goofy complaint that 'article is 6 months old'... articles from 6 months ago are generally
best to use when demonstrating state of the primary race 6 months ago. SMDH

29. I would think anyone so SURE of victory wouldn't be compelled to type goofy memes for pre-teens

in their closing... but, you have fun with that!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. " I like "DESTROID". It gives me a chuckle, "PWNED" too !!!

This board suffers from a paucity of levity.

[AzDar]

32. As I've said: 'you have fun with that'...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. You seem to appreciate levity as well, given your use of emoticons.

[AzDar]

35. Actually, that is a manifestation of my OCD...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. I have OCD as well...It sucks...

When we go on vacation I hate to be the one responsible for locking the door and turning off the appliances because I will go back and check them.

I had a psychiatrist tell me he had a client who took her toaster to work because she was afraid she didn't turn it off.

Thank God I never got to that point.

[Politicalboi]

26. Don't feel bad. he'll kick ass soon

And sorry, but I won't feel bad if Hillary is not the nominee.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Please see Post 25.

Thank you in advance.


Yeah, he will win most homogeneous states that are sparsely populated...

I live in SoCal like you... Sanders will do well on the tony west side of L A. He will get crushed in South L A, East L A, and the non affluent suburbs of the SFV.

3. I'm shocked that a paper once called the "Arizona Republican" would endorse Hillary...

...said no one, ever.

[brooklynite]

5. ...and employs an atheist liberal political cartoonist. Who knew?

[Lizzie Poppet]

7. "Money changes everything."

Steve Benson's been very good to their bank account over the years. They're Republicans. Surely you're not suggesting that they value principle over profit, are you?

[brooklynite]

13. I see - the only POSSIBLE reason they could endorse Clinton was profit?

[Lizzie Poppet]

16. No, you don't "see." In fact, you completely butchered the interpretation.

The (obvious as Chris Christie in a tutu) meaning was that the Republic has no problem employing an atheist liberal cartoonist when he makes bank for them. Did you actually misinterpret my simple statements that badly, or are you being disingenuous?

9. You realize "republican" is an actual adjective and

not just the name of a political party,right?

[Lizzie Poppet]

14. Obviously.

I also grew up in the Phoenix area and know the history of the paper.

[ismnotwasm]

4. K&R

[Agnosticsherbet]

8. Periódico de la República de Arizona (Arizona Republic)

has a left wing and pro open borders editorial policy.

They don't like Trump at all.

Beats the hell out of a guy who rips off his mic and storms out of an interview after a couple of minutes LOL

12. Great endorsement. nt

[brooklynite]

23. No - their 2008 editorial didn't mention Palin at all...

24. When you endorse an elderly presidential candidate for president

You are also endorsing his replacement. The Republic is a right-wing newspaper. So, their endorsement of a corporatist warhawk is no surprise.

[Politicalboi]

28. LOL!

Hillary and Sarah are two peas in a pod.

[Downwinder]

30. Dan Quayle endorsement?

Won't live past the convention.

[NurseJackie]

33. Excellent!!
