Courant Primary Endorsement: Hillary Clinton Most Qualified And Effective
Bernie Sanders is an unlikely candidate to bring idealism back to presidential politics. A son of Jewish immigrants from Brooklyn who found his calling as a socialist from Vermont, Sen. Sanders has reminded us what politics is supposed to be about: Making the ideals of equality and justice work for all Americans.
He speaks eloquently to the need to eliminate inequities in a system that advantages those who already have wealth and power. His popularity speaks to the fact that Americans are tired of the cozy relationship between business and government, of the gridlock and bitterness that defines politics today.
Hillary Clinton, who has long been a fighter, is now clearly part of the political elite that Mr. Sanders has taken aim at. Young voters have turned their backs on her while flocking to Mr. Sanders. She needs to take a long look in the mirror and make sure she doesn't forget why she got into politics in the first place.
But the choice before us is not who is the better candidate, but who would make the better president. And on that score, we believe a pragmatist like Mrs. Clinton is the better choice to fight for those ideals
