Daily News Editorial Board says Vote Hillary Clinton: Her plans to give working- and middle-class

[MADem]

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 party’s nominee. They have in Clinton a superprepared warrior realist. They have in opponent Bernie Sanders a fantasist who’s 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 what’s wrong with America while holding firm to what’s 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 thumb’s 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 America’s 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....

1. Wow.

Did she just have that couriered over?

[MADem]

2. Now, now...no need to be bitter. Both were interviewed--one did better than the other.

[polly7]

3. No, seriously.

It's so over the top, it sounds exactly like her stump speeches.

Maybe they just emailed it in.

[Renew Deal]

10. Sanders not knowing how to deliver on "breaking up the big banks" hurt him

[polly7]

13. There are a hundred and fifty some economists who say he's exactly right.

I don't think anything's hurt him at all.

[pat_k]

31. Debunked by experts (NYTimes, WaPo, Roosevelt Institute... for a sampling)

Plus a very problematic error in their transcript (last link)

22. Yeah, doesn't it? It's so over the top, it could be parody.

It's hyperbole, PR puff n stuff. Yeegad.

No surprises, though. The DN is owned by Mort Zuckerman, a BIG Hillary and CF supporter.

The editors, however...

[pat_k]

32. Sort of like one of those recommendations....

... your boss asks you to write so they can just sign it.

[Barack_America]

4. Yeah, by avoiding all that scary, rich-people robbing change Bernie is proposing!

I.e. She'll keep things exactly the same, the way the 1% wants them.

That'll benefit the middle class just fine.

[MADem]

14. Are you talking 'bout Bernie "Paid 13.4 % taxes on over $200K in income" Sanders?

You're not going to send the nation to free BEAUTY SCHOOL on those kinds of receipts from the one percenters you're griping about!

One percenters like Senator "I paid less in taxes in 2014 than a Walmart cashier" Sanders....he sure wants to rob the rich and give to the poor, so long as there's no robbing of HIM.

Do as I say, Not as I Do seems to be the way Bernie rolls.

Now, maybe he can release his last ten years of tax returns, and vindicate himself. Until that happens, though, he's just one of those rich people keeping most of his money.

[Barack_America]

21. Um, that's about what I'll pay in income taxes.

I pay more than my mortgage in childcare (on the table because that's the law) and, yes, I deduct it. I also contribute to my retirement because my employer doesn't.

Should I march straight to Hell?

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Q: Who pays more than that rate?

A: Someone that needs a better accountant.

[MADem]

30. I'll just let your comment sit.

A: Someone that needs a better accountant.

No wonder those one percenters stay so rich.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. did she mention us poor people at all?

[MADem]

7. You can read, can't you? Go on and read the full interview.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

15. thanks, but i've had the link open for over 24 hours. i just keep nodding off trying to get thru it.

[NuclearDem]

29. Probably because there was actual substance being discussed.

Not just "subject verb millionaires and billionaires."

[Viva_La_Revolution]

39. nope. more of the same old same old incremental bit by bit.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. No need to read, the NYDN is mostly all pictures.

It makes it easier for their customers to keep up with the news.

[MADem]

20. I provide the link, and that's your excuse?

Ummmm hmmmm. That's a bit willful.

[Agschmid]

6. Kick!

[IamMab]

8. Great news ahead of the NY Primary. Clinton's getting endorsements, Sanders is fleeing the country.

They're going to have to re-open the NY Times post-mortem on the Sanders campaign to add the Daily News interview...

[Politicalboi]

9. LOL!

"She fully understands the toll that adverse economic forces have taken on the country."

Yes, she certainly does, and she's rich beyond her wildest dreams thanks to those economic forces. What a load of shit. I bet she paid them for this too. Nothing is below her anymore. Give her a cigar, she's done.

[mythology]

34. Let's be honest, you just made that up and for the worst reason

because you want it to be true. It's just plain sad that you just make things up and then bash her for your fantasies about what evil act she must have committed.

[sheshe2]

11. Kick!

[Beacool]

12. After the editorial meeting with Sanders didn't go too well,

it's not surprising that they would endorse Hillary. Besides, after living in NY since 2001 and being one of its senators for 8 years, she's the local girl.

[Luminous Animal]

18. The owner of the Daily News is a major donor to Hillary and the Clinton Foundation.

Also, a huge critic of Obama.

[dogman]

25. Their headlines for President Obama call him Bam.

I thought Hillary was the President's protector, why doesn't she smack her good friends down for this?

[EndElectoral]

38. Did they list that disclaimer in their endorsement?

[Luminous Animal]

40. Why no they did not! Sooprahse… Sooprahse… Soopraahse!

[Luminous Animal]

16. Wiser about the consequences of war in Iraq. Hahahaha! She sees it as a business opportunity on the

backs of hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced…. hungry, homeless, sick and dying and under constant threat of western drones and/or being murdered by warring factions.

[MADem]

17. Lockheed Martin drones?

Gee, who's hooked up with those guys, but tight?

[Luminous Animal]

23. I'm just basking in the fact that you are promoting the NY daily news. BOOKMARKED Sid!

[amborin]

26. basically, they published her campaign press release! which is the exact opposite of the truth

she enabled ISIS by pressuring Obama to bomb Libya

she urged arming "friendly" rebels in Syria, who, after $500 million spent, took our weapons and used them against civilians

she obstructed the Syrian peace plan

she lied to voters about opposing free trade agreements; she voted with the Repubs and against Dems for the trade pacts

she is in favor of means testing Social Security

the list is endless of the ways in which she has demonstrated that she is a danger to the world and to Americans

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. NYDN's follow up to the recent "I'm With Stupid" headline -

"We Shill For Hill"

[MADem]

45. ....If you dish it out, you'd better be prepared to take it.

"We pout 'til he's out..."

[jmg257]

28. That is one glowing endorsement...laid on a bit thick, but she must have really impressed.

Good for her.

[Lucinda]

33. Wonderful news. If you haven't read the transcript or watched the video of her

interview with the editorial board, I highly reccommend it.

The links to the Sanders and Clinton interviews are at the link above.

[fighting-irish]

35. I officially reject their endorsement.

Trash tabloid owned by a Clinton Foundation donor/supporter. Not shocking.

Go look up Mort Zuckerman for your entertainment.

[MADem]

36. Well, that's special. I don't really care what you reject. nt

[NurseJackie]

46. When an ordinary rejection isn't strong enough, one makes it "official", eh?

[EndElectoral]

37. Anyone who bases their vote on the New York Daily News Editorial Board needs help.

[MADem]

43. What source is "acceptable to you?"

If they were endorsing Sanders you'd be demanding a Pulitzer for them.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

41. Daily News Editorial Board says "don't rock the boat - we are just fine"

lol

[MADem]

44. Ah, those sour grapes! nt

[Alfresco]

42. Kick!
