2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEditorial: We recommend Hillary Clinton for Democratic presidential nomination
February 12, 2016
Its been 44 years since Hillary Clinton arrived in Texas as a firebrand feminist working to register Hispanics and others in South Texas to vote for a long-shot liberal senator running to unseat President Richard Nixon. George McGovern lost badly that year and Nixon engineered his own shameful exit two years later.
But Clinton? Shes been in the public eye ever since, and after a lifetime of remarkable service and unending controversy shes back asking Texans to help make her the 2016 Democratic nominee for president.
Democrats should vote for her March 1. Shes a better choice than another long-shot liberal senator, her surging rival Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
A better choice not because hes too liberal to win in November, though he is. Shes better because over her lifetime, Clinton has learned to temper her idealism without losing it. Shes learned to advance her agenda even when it means letting others advance too. Shes cultivated allies.
