.....................While both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders bring strengths and weaknesses, caucus-goers would help their party most by giving their support to Hillary Clinton...........................




During the campaign, Clinton has shown herself to be more moderate than President Barack Obama. Over the years she has learned that in a democracy, politics is the art of the achievable.



...................

Who would be the most qualified, most talented and most able to represent the party’s viewpoint in November, thus giving Americans a serious, substantive, issue-oriented debate about the country’s future?

Hillary Clinton brings credentials and breadth unmatched by her Democratic opponent, as well as a pragmatic ability to get things done in what no doubt will remain a divided Capitol.

Nebraska Democrats can help their party most by choosing Hillary Clinton to carry their banner in the fall.

Sanders, the Vermont senator and selfproclaimed democratic socialist, has given voice to those on the left who are as angry with “the system” as are some Donald Trump voters on the right. Sanders’ straight talk and spurning of special-interest political action committee donations have helped rally enthusiastic younger voters.

At the same time, his strong ideological bent hampers his ability to build needed coalitions, while promises of free college tuition and a single-payer health care system are unrealistic. His lack of foreign policy expertise is worrisome.

Keep in mind they're going to be endorsing Ted Cruz in November before you all get too excited about this endorsement.
