The New York Times just backed Hillary Clinton and John Kasich
The New York Times editorial board endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination Saturday:
Hillary Clinton is the right choice for the Democrats to present a vision for America that is radically different from the one that leading Republican candidates offer — a vision in which middle-class Americans have a real shot at prosperity, women's rights are enhanced, undocumented immigrants are given a chance at legitimacy, international alliances are nurtured and the country is kept safe. [The New York Times]
On the Republican side, the editorial board published a weaker show of support for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, whom they described as the only antidote to the field's extremism and inexperience.
Iowa is set to hold the nation's first caucuses Monday.
