Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumSan Jose (CA) Mercury News: Hillary Clinton is the Best Choice
All eyes are on California's June 7 presidential primary after all. Just not for the reasons anyone expected.
Instead of being decisive in the Republican nomination, it will be a coronation of Donald Trump. On the Democratic side, instead of being a coronation of Hillary Clinton, it's a real contest between Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who wowed a sun-baked crowd of true believers at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds on Wednesday.
Everything seems upside down, except for this: Clinton still is the best choice for Democrats in California.
World trade is a local issue here, particularly in Silicon Valley, and experience in foreign affairs is critical not just to national security but to the economy that led this nation out of recession. Clinton has that experience. Sanders doesn't.
She shares many of Sanders' broad social and economic goals, including affordable education and better access to health care. But she seeks incremental change rather than "Feel the Bern" hard left turns. Unless the November race is for dictator instead of president -- as Trump sometimes seems to think it is -- incremental is really the only way to get things done.
