New York Daily News Endorses “Super-Prepared Warrior Realist” Hillary Clinton

The New York Daily News has enthusiastically endorsed former Secretary of State just days before the New York state Democratic primary.

From the paper’s editorial board:

On April 19, New York Democrats will have unusual say over the party’s nominee. They have in Clinton a superprepared warrior realist. They have in opponent Bernie Sanders a fantasist who’s at passionate war with reality. By choosing Clinton, Empire State Dems would powerfully signal that the party has gotten real about achieving long-sought goals.

Clinton is unsparingly clear-eyed about what’s wrong with America while holding firm to what’s right with America.

She fully understands the toll that adverse economic forces have taken on the country.

She is supremely knowledgeable about the powers a President can wield to lift fortunes in need of lifting.

She possesses the strength and the shrewdness to confront the tough politics of advancing an ambitious Democratic agenda in the White House.

Still more, she is a cauldron-tested globalist who had the spine to give Obama a thumb’s up for taking out Osama Bin Laden and who is far the wiser about the use of American power, having served as secretary of state and seen the consequences of the war in Iraq.

These truths about America’s most well-known public figure are long past debating among Democrats, above all in New York, the state Clinton represented in the U.S. Senate.

New York Daily News: “Drop Dead Ted”

Sen. Ted Cruz thought he had found a good attack line against Donald Trump by recently calling out Trump’s “New York values” to crowds in Iowa. Trust and believe, he meant it as a slander.

But when it came up last night at the latest GOP presidential debate, Trump skillfully turned the tables telling Cruz it was very “insulting” to the people of New York who bravely face the events of 9/11.

Cruz: “Everybody understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal and pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage. And focus on money and the media.”

Trump (speaking about 9/11): “Everyone in the world loved New York, and loved New Yorkers; and I have to tell you, that was a very insulting statement.”

The New York Daily News put their thoughts on the cover of today’s paper as you can see above.

Columnist Mike Lupica wrote, “Ted Cruz, who only comes here with his hand out, has decided that the most diverse city the world has ever known is filled with people who all think alike. He sounds in these moments like as slow a thinker as we have ever had run for President.”

“Here is what New York values are: New York values are a young guy, a paralegal, literally giving somebody he doesn’t know the shirt off his back on a subway because winter has finally come to the city and brought freezing temperatures with it. New York values are the New York taxi driver who traveled three boroughs across four days to find the guy who had left $1,400 in his cab, so he could return the money to him. You know what that really was? It was the real life of a city that Ted Cruz knows nothing about. He is simply another tourist here, one constantly on the make.”

New York Daily News Lists NRA Head Wayne LaPierre As “Terrorist”

Today’s cover of the New York Daily News features not only the “mass shooter of the week,” Syed Farook, but goes further and pictures several of the mad men who’ve waged war on Americans via gun violence, including (according to NYDN) NRA head Wayne LaPierre.

“Syed Farook joins long list of murderous psychos enabled by NRA’s sick gun jihad against America in the name of profit.”

Although over 90% of Americans approve of common sense background checks when purchasing a gun – including a majority of NRA members, the NRA has politicians so afraid no one in Congress is able to pass anything when it comes to gun legislation.
