- The right blend of knowledge, skill and experience.
We have seen her in action for decades as an active first lady; as an effective eight-year senator who delivered for New York, including billions in federal aid to rebuild New York City after 9/11; and in four years as secretary of state, when she played a critical role in levying crippling sanctions on Iran and in the killing of Osama bin Laden.
That experience on the world stage makes her the best choice to deal with its complicated troubles, especially terrorism, a newly belligerent Russia and an increasingly militaristic China.
Her long service and many scars from more than 30 years of political battles make Clinton a superb manager, with a knowledge of issues unmatched by any candidate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders has sketched his vision for the nations future in the Technicolor strokes of a populist revolution. But articulating that is one thing. Getting us there is quite another.
We like that Sanders can inspire. But we have more faith in Clintons ability to actually move America forward. Thats why Newsday is endorsing Hillary Clinton in Tuesdays Democratic presidential primary.

(15,438 posts)You wouldn't know it if you got your news from cable shows. Listen to them long enough and you'd think Hillary Clinton is the devil incarnate with zero knowledge, skill, OR experience.
Good thing that the vast majority of people aren't getting their news from cable or from social media, but rather go about their lives with the knowledge that they want President Obama's agenda to continue - and knowing that Sanders is not the candidate for that.
Sanders is a bloviator. Hillary Clinton is a DOER.
