This follows the New York Times endorsement in January and is well-timed to impact the primary on the 19th.

Daily News Editorial Board says Vote Hillary Clinton: Her plans to give working- and middle-class Americans a fighting chance at rising incomes are far superior to Bernie Sanders'
On April 19, New York Democrats will have unusual say over the partys nominee. They have in Clinton a superprepared warrior realist. They have in opponent Bernie Sanders a fantasist whos at passionate war with reality. By choosing Clinton, Empire State Dems would powerfully signal that the party has gotten real about achieving long-sought goals.
Clinton is unsparingly clear-eyed about whats wrong with America while holding firm to whats right with America.
She fully understands the toll that adverse economic forces have taken on the country.
She is supremely knowledgeable about the powers a President can wield to lift fortunes in need of lifting.
She possesses the strength and the shrewdness to confront the tough politics of advancing an ambitious Democratic agenda in the White House.
Still more, she is a cauldron-tested globalist who had the spine to give Obama a thumbs up for taking out Osama Bin Laden and who is far the wiser about the use of American power, having served as secretary of state and seen the consequences of the war in Iraq.
These truths about Americas most well-known public figure are long past debating among Democrats, above all in New York, the state Clinton represented in the U.S. Senate.

(14,498 posts)... that a contributor to a "progressive" internet community would consider this ( a New York Daily News endorsement) as a net plus.
OMG, OMG, OMG OMG. Lots of work to be done here.

(109,388 posts)Only someone who couldn't read the interviews would think that this endorsement wasn't well justified.
