The Las Vegas Sun Endores Hillary!

[Cha]

Why we support Clinton for the Democratic nomination

snip//

The Democrats heading to Nevada’s caucuses Saturday have a simpler task than their Republican counterparts three days later, thanks to having just two candidates — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Sen. and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

They share the same essential values and genuinely champion the middle class. The difference is that Sanders, the rebellious democratic socialist, would be going into battle outnumbered in pursuit of his domestic agenda and poorly equipped in foreign affairs. Clinton has established strengths and demonstrated successes in both arenas.

Powerful reasoning on all these points at the link..

On national security
On health care
On gun control
On the economy
On vision

So BS on fox "news" slamming Hillary for "wall street" Meanwhile back to realty.. The Las Vegas Sun was endorsing her!

Happy Valentine's Day! [font color=blue]Hillary's Group~Mahalo

1. Under the bus.

[Cha]

4. Which is great news for us, Hoyt!

thank you!

[Hoyt]

11. She's picking up a lot of liberal newspaper endorsements. Just hope voters still read them.

[Cha]

17. Yes, I hope it translates to votes!

I hear the Las Vegas Sun is a left leaning paper and they carry a lot of weight in a Union town.. so that sounds promising.

[DesertRat]

21. They're gonna need a bigger bus

[BlueCaliDem]

36. They're going to need a FLEET of them. eom

[stopbush]

2. A well-considered editorial.

They haven't sipped the Sanders kool aid.

BTW - I lived in Vegas for three years. It's a big union town, and The Sun is the left-leaning paper in town. Their endorsement carries a lot of weight with Ds in Vegas.

[Cha]

7. Oh wow.. that's really good to know, stopbush! I wondered about the paper not knowing

anything about it. "lot of weight" sounds good.

And, yes, how cool they didn't drink any koolaid.. and have such a strong well reasoned endorsement of Hillary.

[stopbush]

9. The culinary union alone has a huge membership.

Why do you think Bernie sent his minions into union meetings disguised as union members? He knows how important the union vote is in that town.

BTW - the Sheldon-Adelson-owned Venetian is one of the few non-union shops in Vegas. If you support unions, don't stay at the Venetian.

[Cha]

13. Ah yes.. the Culinary Union.. I hope their members all got the news about the sneaky sanders

intruders.

Good to know about the Venetian.. but I'll never be going back to Las Vegas in my life.

3. Great to hear this, Cha!

I'm also still over the moon about Scalia.

So far, it's been a good Valentine's Day!

[Cha]

8. I know.. so much success!

We deserve it.. our Planet and our Country, too.

14. You're Welcome, pandr!

Mahalo!

6. Oh, this will be good! Can't wait for all the wailing and moaning ...

... accusing the LV Sun of being a "right-wing rag" that's a "tool of the 'establishment'" and run by "oligarchs".

As frustrating as it is to have to put up with the hardcore Bernie fans, they can be amusing at times ... and they're only making it worse for themselves when Hillary wins the nomination (and when Bernie LOSES the nomination).

Many of them HONESTLY believe he's going to be the nominee ... they refuse to believe any other possibility, and those are the ones who are in for quite a let-down.

But not for the horrible way that Hillary supporters have been treated, I'd normally feel sympathetic to those who find themselves having to face the fact that their preferred candidate didn't win. This time? Not so much.

The bitterness we've been made to endure will make Hillary's victory all the more sweet.

[Cha]

15. I feel exactly the same way about everything you said. Funny how that works out.

It will be such a sweet sweet victory!

Turns out the Las Vegas Sun is very left wing and it carries a lot of weight in a Union town. Read it right here on this thread.

10. K&R!

[Cha]

18. Yes! Mahalo stonecutter~

[Alfresco]

12. Nevadans for Hillary!

[Cha]

16. Why yes, Alfresco!

Gracias, eh!

[livetohike]

19. Yay! More good news on Valentine's Day!

Love it ❤️

[Cha]

23. Yeah! Happy Valentine's Day, livetohike!

[workinclasszero]

20. Awesome!

[Cha]

25. "left leaning" paper in a Union Town, working!

[DesertRat]

22. Nice!

Thanks for the post!

[UtahLib]

24. More great news! nt

[ForgoTheConsequence]

26. The publisher and editor was a college roommate of Bill Clinton.

No surprise here.

[Cha]

28. I don't care whose roommate he was or if we're suprised or not.. it's a strong endorsement based on

facts.

Hillary is much better qualified candidate to be President and will make a much better one than BS ever could.

[Stuckinthebush]

31. Hillary is going to be president

At the very least she will be our nominee - not a Democratic Socialist who dislikes the party.

I'm starting to lose it with these sophomoric Sanders supporters. I'll try to keep it together, Cha!

[Cha]

32. I noticed..

[Stuckinthebush]

33. Sorry

It's mind boggling. I just can't....

[Cha]

34. No worries.. If we can't vent to a

blocked poster who can we vent to? lol

[Stuckinthebush]

35. LOL

So true!

[Stuckinthebush]

30. OH, FFS

Anything that is a plus for Hillary must be because of some shady connection or being owed something, right?

God, I am beginning to think this site which I've enjoyed for a decade and a half has become as idiotic as the right wing message boards.

Go away. This isn't your group. You have the whole of GDP and that Bernie room.
