Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumBoom! Take a look at these endorsements!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hillary_Clinton_presidential_campaign_endorsements,_2016Get some coffe and settle in. Once you click and start scrolling it will take a long time to get through this list of leaders, party officials, activists, thinkers, and international figures.
I know there is a pinned post about endorsements but I think we need to take a moment to celebrate the incredible list above.
Sanders has endorsements, too. You know - the Columbia, SC dog catcher, and Ben and Jerry. I also think that the actor who played Screech in Saved By The Bell digs Bernie.

Hill's list is impressive, especially all the activists, humanitarians, and labor leaders.
I always get a chuckle when I refer to BS. The initials are very descriptive.

(11,802 posts)I don't think endorsements from the establishment are going to be helpful in what seems to be shaking out to be an anti-establishment election year. Regardless, if she wins I'm in.
Stuckinthebush
(10,845 posts)They will. Most Dems aren't anti establishment. Most Dems are pragmatic. Most Dems support Clinton.

(67,782 posts)To put this into perspective, Clinton has the endorsement of 157 of 188 Democratic Representatives, 39 of 44 Democratic Senators, and 12 of 18 Democratic Governors.
That's 204 of 250 prominent Democratic office holders (i.e., "establishment"!)
On the other hand, Sanders has the endorsement of two Democratic Representatives.
your sig line.
Mahalo for the list.
Stuckinthebush
(10,845 posts)The Democrats support the Democrat
They can try to use the establishment smear but these are OUR leaders.
