Detroit-Free Press: Clinton is Michigan Democrats' best choice

[book_worm]

The contest for the Democratic presidential nomination may be all but over by the time Michigan voters get the chance to express their druthers in the open primary scheduled to take place a week from Tuesday.

The 15 primaries and caucuses scheduled to take place between now and March 8 give Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton the opportunity to build her already formidable delegate lead over rival Bernie Sanders into an insurmountable advantage, effectively excluding voters in Michigan, Ohio and other Great Lakes states from any significant role in the Democratic nominating process.

Such a development would further bolster the argument for overhauling an outdated primary calendar that affords disproportionate clout to states far less populous (and more homogenous) than ours. But it would also underline the growing recognition that former Sen. HILLARY CLINTON is by far the best candidate to lead her party’s ballot in November’s general election...

If the world did not become dramatically safer during her tenure as Secretary of State, neither did it spin out of control. All in all, Clinton and Obama fared pretty well in containing, and even beginning to reverse, the damage wrought by their predecessors’ reckless foreign policy.

3. This is compelling endorsed from the Detroit Free Press.. thank you, book!

"Responding aggressively to climate change, reining in ISIS and other terrorist organizations, sustaining a still-fragile economic recovery and developing new strategies to combat crime and drug addiction are but a handful of the urgent challenges awaiting President Obama’s successor. And, like Obama, the next president will have to confront each of those challenges in concert with a dysfunctional legislative branch and a sharply polarized electorate."
