Hillary Clinton and Gov. John Kasich
The Detroit Free Press has endorses Hillary Clinton and Ohio Gov. John Kasich for the Michigan primary on March 8.
On Kasich, the Freep says in an editorial:
Kasich has spent most of his life in public service, first as an Ohio state lawmaker, then as a nine-term member of Congress, and now as Ohio's governor. And although he is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a moderate — one look at his record on reproductive rights, or organized labor, or gun control, soundly debunks that notion — it is reasonable to call the governor a rational and mature elected official, a canny politician who has shown a willingness to break step with Republican ranks in service of the people he has been elected to represent, and whose deep Christian faith, in its best iteration, tempers the ideological excesses present in some members of his party.
On Clinton, the paper writes Sunday:
Not since then-Vice President George Bush won the Republican nomination in 1992 has either major party offered voters a candidate with such a breadth of experience in federal government. Besides playing an enormous policy-making role during her husband’s two terms in the White House, Clinton has served more than capably as a U.S. Senator and cabinet officer, presiding over President Barack Obama’s State Department during one of the most challenging and dangerous intervals since the Vietnam War.
