New Hampshire will be seeing a new Hillary Clinton endorsement in some of their local papers this week.
The entire endorsement is worth a read, but here are some of the key highlights:
Of the three remaining Democrats seeking the party’s nomination for president, Hillary Clinton is clearly the most qualified. She has articulated a vision for the country that is both progressive and pragmatic and has demonstrated the ability and tenacity to achieve the ambitious goals she has set for herself and the nation.
The people of New Hampshire know Hillary Clinton well and supported her during her previous run for president in 2008. Granite State Democrats and independent voters, having seen and heard Clinton with their own eyes and ears, have rejected the decades of distortions peddled by her political opponents. We know the real Hillary Clinton and we admire and respect her.
In 2008, Sen. Clinton made her case to voters in the New Hampshire presidential primary, and she won the contest, narrowly defeating Obama, then a U.S. senator from Illinois. Obama rebounded from his New Hampshire loss and went on to win the presidential election. He quickly appointed Clinton secretary of state, recognizing his rival’s intelligence, impeccable work ethic and values. Of all the candidates interviewed by our editorial board, both Republican and Democrat, Clinton was by far the most fluent in world affairs. As president there would be no learning curve. She would be in full command of the geopolitical challenges facing our nation from day one. And given the concerns about global instability and terrorism we place a high value on this competence. Clinton has published plans that are available for scrutiny on just about every challenge facing the nation today. From national security to defeating ISIS; from reducing the cost of college to criminal justice reform; from climate change and green energy to cyber security and job creation; from gun safety to women’s health; Alzheimer’s and autism; Clinton has thought deeply about all these issues and has put forward pragmatic plans that her years of experience tell her can make it through Congress.Clinton's vision is bold and comprehensive. Government would create thousands of jobs by leading a transition off of fossil fuels. Everyone, rich or poor, could more easily go to college and get health care. These initiatives will bring a more sustainable future and broad based prosperity. But unlike her opponent, Clinton's plans are not all centrally planned and run by the government. They are collaborations: college students work to help pay for their education; energy companies have incentives to change for the good while a safety net is built for displaced coal-state workers. In the spirit of John F. Kennedy, government leads the nation toward big goals and taps the aspiration and ingenuity of individuals and the private sector. This is how America makes its greatest progress.
Clinton is by far the most qualified candidate seeking the Democratic nomination. If elected, she will be an outstanding president. We enthusiastically endorse Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire Democratic primary.
Hillary is currently deadlocked in the polls with Senator Sanders in New Hampshire,and hopefully endorsements like this continue rolling in and will help her surge to a win just as she did in 2008.
