Nebraska's Largest Paper Endorses Hillary Clinton

[JaneyVee]

Hoping to build enthusiasm and gain a stronger voice in their party’s presidential nominating process, Nebraska Democrats gave caucuses a try in 2008.

It worked. This election year, neither Democratic candidate is taking Nebraska for granted. After the candidates split the Super Tuesday states, Nebraska becomes a battleground as Democrats prepare to caucus on Saturday.

While both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders bring strengths and weaknesses, caucus-goers would help their party most by giving their support to Hillary Clinton.

Sanders, the Vermont senator and selfproclaimed democratic socialist, has given voice to those on the left who are as angry with “the system” as are some Donald Trump voters on the right. Sanders’ straight talk and spurning of special-interest political action committee donations have helped rally enthusiastic younger voters.

At the same time, his strong ideological bent hampers his ability to build needed coalitions, while promises of free college tuition and a single-payer health care system are unrealistic. His lack of foreign policy expertise is worrisome.

2. Hillary Clinton's campaign has already thrown in the towel on Nebraska and expects to lose it. (nt)

6. Is that true?

Polling?

[w4rma]

7. Yes. I don't say things that I haven't seen the data to back it up with.

CNN reported Wednesday morning that Clinton's campaign expects to lose in Nebraska, as well as in Kansas and Maine, which also hold Democratic caucuses this weekend.

4. Obviously

As I've said before, the corporate media endorses the bought and paid for corporate schill. What else would you expect with the state of the MSM these days?
Surprise, surprise.

And honestly, if they endorsed Bernie, it would make very little impression on me either. What DOES make an impression are all those pictures of all those inspired people in those Yuuuuge crowds that come to see Bernie. That speaks to me. That is inspiration.

5. LOL at anyone who thinks...

The corporate media, who has been trying to destroy the Clintons for 25yrs, is somehow in the tank for Hillary.

[reformist2]

18. Wow, what planet are you living on?

[jillan]

10. The largest paper in New Hampshire endorsed her too.

[oasis]

11. Newspapers endorse who they believe to be the best candidate.

Since making informed decisions is still important to many voters in America, newspapers are performing a service.

[w4rma]

14. For their owners' bank accounts. (nt)

[DesertRat]

12. Nice endorsement! k&r

[Cowpunk]

15. Omaha World Herald leans way to the right

Not surprising, this.

[Impedimentus]

16. Republican Newspaper Endorses Hillary Clinton ...

and the Clinton supporters are proud. Go figure?

[R B Garr]

20. At least the newspaper endorsements can note obvious things about Sanders inabilities

without getting their posts hidden:

"At the same time, his strong ideological bent hampers his ability to build needed coalitions, while promises of free college tuition and a single-payer health care system are unrealistic. His lack of foreign policy expertise is worrisome."



K&R!
