Hillary Clinton

By Jim OSullivan GLOBE STAFF NOVEMBER 08, 2015
US Representative Seth Moulton, a first-term Democrat who earlier this summer flirted with backing the never-materialized presidential candidacy of Vice President Joe Biden, has decided to support Hillary Clintons White House bid.
Moulton told the Globe on Saturday that he reached his decision maybe a week ago, saying he was so put off by the Republican field he had concluded that Democrats needed to line up behind their strongest candidate.
When you look at the stakes here, when its not inconceivable that we could have a President [Donald] Trump or a President [Ted] Cruz, weve got to have a strong nominee, and Hillary Clinton is that nominee, Moulton said, referring to the television personality and Republican senator from Texas, respectively.
Moultons endorsement adds to Clintons dominance among establishment Democrats in Massachusetts, in keeping with much of the rest of the country.
Most of the states Democratic power structure has backed her campaign, with the notable exceptions of US Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has long held positions more populist than Clintons, and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
At the time, Moulton said that he thought a competitive primary would be healthy for the Democratic party, while calling Clinton the best candidate that we have in the race today. He echoed both views Saturday.
More than 60 percent of House Democrats have publicly backed Clinton, according to a tally maintained by FiveThirtyEight.com.

(30,058 posts)state. I expect Elizabeth Warren to endorse Hillary and campaign for her. Warren has already said Hillary is a very fast learner so she has confidence in her. Hillary listens, has the ability to change her mind based on the current information, is not living in the world of 60 years ago.
