The New York Daily News has endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ahead of the April 19 Democratic presidential primary in the Empire State, praising Mrs. Clinton as a “superprepared warrior realist.”
“On April 19, New York Democrats will have unusual say over the party’s nominee,” the Daily News editorial board said in endorsing Mrs. Clinton. “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.”
The endorsement piece also cited Mr. Sanders’ recent meeting with the editorial board.
“Although Sanders has vowed a shock-and-awe bank-busting campaign that would risk global financial chaos, he was at a loss to show how he would execute the assault or to cite legal authority for such sweeping and unprecedented exercise of presidential power,” the editors wrote.
