WOW!!! LA Times Editorial Board endorses Bernie?

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/endorsements/la-ed-democratic-presidential-endorsement-20160426-story.html

Sanders lacks the experience and broad understanding of domestic and (especially) foreign policy that the former secretary of state would bring to the presidency. Although Sanders has tapped into very real and widespread anxieties about economic inequality, deindustrialization and stagnant economic growth, his prescriptions are too often simplistic, more costly than he would have us believe and unlikely to come to pass.


Well, I guess they didn't.

Name one place that's better due to Hillary's SoS foreign policy?

Which will send Sanders fans into a tizzy, but the reality is that any scenario that doesn't include Khadaffi is automatically a better one.

There's her vote for the war in Iraq...oops. Oh, and don't forget the no fly zone in Syria...what could go wrong with that? But hey, that wealth of "experience" has really paid off with some great decision-making.

23. Security council resolution 1973
Fri May 13, 2016, 09:46 AM

passed unanimously.
From Wikipedia

The United Nations Intent and Voting was to have "an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians, which it said might constitute crimes against humanity" ... "imposing a ban on all flights in the country's airspace – a no-fly zone – and tightened sanctions on the Qadhafi regime and its supporters."

Would strangers posting on an open website have any effect on how you vote?

I am reading this more and more from both sides.

As someone who likes both of our candidates but love neither, making me an outlier here, I am shocked that people pissing each other on a forum can drive readers actions.
