Hillary Clinton
She brings the most stellar resume of any candidate in either party.
Clinton served eight years in the U.S. Senate, where she gained a reputation for digging deep into issues and policy. After Barack Obama took office in 2009 he tapped Clinton, his primary opponent, to be his secretary of state. She represented the nation admirably in that capacity and honed invaluable foreign policy experience.
As a former first lady, Clinton understands the demands and pitfalls of the presidency. Her attempt during her husbands first term to reform the U.S. health care system, though hugely unsuccessful, gives her a thorough understanding of a complex topic that will continue to be front and center in the next presidency...
But Sanders comes with flaws that prospective GOP opponents would surely exploit. For starters, he is a self-described democratic socialist in a nation that has been trending right of center.
And he has not presented a convincing argument that he could be effective in the White House. Calling for a political revolution, as Sanders does repeatedly, is not the same as presenting a plan. Clintons contention that she is the candidate who can best get things done seems legitimate.
