Rolling Stone magazine endorses Hillary Clinton and, more importantly, explains why.

Here is an excerpt courtesy of Rolling Stone:  

I've been watching the debates and town halls for the past two months, and Sanders' righteousness knocks me out. My heart is with him. He has brought the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations to the ballot box. 

But it is not enough to be a candidate of anger. Anger is not a plan; it is not a reason to wield power; it is not a reason for hope. Anger is too narrow to motivate a majority of voters, and it does not make a case for the ability and experience to govern. I believe that extreme economic inequality, the vast redistribution of wealth to the top one percent — indeed, to the top one percent of the one percent — is the defining issue of our times. Within that issue, almost all issues of social injustice can be seen, none more so than climate change, which can be boiled down to the rights of mankind against the oligarchy that owns oil, coal and vast holdings of dirty energy, and those who profit from their use. 

Hillary Clinton has an impressive command of policy, the details, trade-offs and how it gets done. It's easy to blame billionaires for everything, but quite another to know what to do about it. During his 25 years in Congress, Sanders has stuck to uncompromising ideals, but his outsider stance has not attracted supporters among the Democrats. Paul Krugman writes that the Sanders movement has a "contempt for compromise." 

Every time Sanders is challenged on how he plans to get his agenda through Congress and past the special interests, he responds that the "political revolution" that sweeps him into office will somehow be the magical instrument of the monumental changes he describes. This is a vague, deeply disingenuous idea that ignores the reality of modern America. With the narrow power base and limited political alliances that Sanders had built in his years as the democratic socialist senator from Vermont, how does he possibly have a chance of fighting such entrenched power? 

I have been to the revolution before. It ain't happening. 

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified candidates for the presidency in modern times, as was Al Gore. We cannot forget what happened when Gore lost and George W. Bush was elected and became arguably one of the worst presidents in American history. The votes cast for the fantasy of Ralph Nader were enough to cost Gore the presidency. Imagine what a similar calculation would do to this country if a "protest vote" were to put the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court all in the hands of the extreme right wing that now controls the Republican Party. 

I love this line, " I have been to the revolution before. It ain't happening."

I love it partly because it reflects the argument I made to my daughter just the other night, and also because it is undeniably true.

I think a lot of us here well remember the revolutions from the past that perhaps we also supported with all of our hearts, only to have those hearts broken as once again the revolution fizzled out with only minor changes taking hold.

The thing you learn over time is that change is slow and incremental. We are always moving toward progress, but it never comes as quickly as we want.

That is not to say that Bernie Sanders will not have an impact, he will. Just like the Occupy Wall Street protesters had an impact even though many have labeled the movement a failure.

However OWS helped give rise to Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Though on a more unfortunate note there are those who think they also paved the way for Donald Trump.

However as Jann Wenner so eloquently says this is not the time for a revolution.

Instead it's the time to make sure we hold onto the White House, and increase our numbers in Congress.

And let's face it, the person with the momentum to do that is not Bernie Sanders, it's Hillary Clinton.

P.S. Make sure to click the link at the top to read the entire Rolling Stone article. There is a lot there, and I only shared a relatively small sample.

    Hilary is more of a neo-con than Bernie. Her speech at the AIPAC convention made her sound positively dangerous.

      I agree. Hopefully Homeland Security will be checking more carefully anyone that is traveling from the Middle East and any European travelers that are from a Middle East background.

      I think we can exercise due diligence and stop people from coming here that should not be here.

      We can't be too careful as we are already full of christian evangelicals that do things like blow up abortion clinics and kill doctors that provide abortions. We don't need another level of religious crazy here in this country, we're full up on that.

      It's a bummer because at his heart Bernie is an Independent, just like I am and I'd be forced to register as Democrat to participate in our caucus.

      So many of us proud Independents and Undeclareds can't participate in our Dem Caucus. I've contacted the Democratic Party of Alaska to try to have this changed for many years but to no avail, but you go registered Dems and get out the vote for him, even though us, with his independent nature will not be allowed to vote.

      I'm able to participate in all of the Republican primary events, as an independent, but not in the Democratic primary, which really makes no sense as most progressive leaning people tend to be independent or undeclared rather than the conservatives.

      Here you go...

      AS PRESIDENT, I WILL:
      Only appoint Supreme Court justices who will make it a priority to overturn Citizens United and who understand that corruption in politics means more than just quid pro quo.
      Fight to pass a constitutional amendment making it clear that Congress and the states have the power to regulate money in elections. I have been a proud sponsor and leading champion of such an amendment in the Senate.
      Fight for a publicly financed, transparent system of campaign financing that amplifies small donations, along the lines of the Fair Elections Now Act that I have been pleased to co-sponsor, and an effective public financing system for president.
      Insist on complete transparency regarding the funding of campaigns, including through disclosure of contributions to outside spending groups, via legislation, action by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Election Commission, and Federal Communication Commission, and an executive order requiring government contractors to disclose their political spending.
      Fight to eliminate super PACs and other outside spending abuses.
      Work to aggressively enforce campaign finance rules.

    Remember, this applies to Donald Trump even more so. Not only are his supporters extremely angry but they are violent as well.

    Yes, I like everything the Bern stands for but my heart is with Hillary. Hopefully she will appoint Sanders in an influential position.

      It appears he can't or doesn't have concrete answers. Just slogans- free college, wall street is bad, blah blah.

      Great question and if you do a little research, you'll find that Bernie first talked about running for President AND about a political revolution THIRTY years ago. Kind of makes this year's campaign seem phony, IMO, especially since in 2012 he wanted someone to primary President Obama. Why didn't he run then? He was likely afraid of losing black supporters permanently and knew that a loss would take him out of the running for '16, at least with the black voters, because he dared to run against our first black President.

      Bernie is hardly the saint everyone thinks he is. I laugh when he said he's never run a negative campaign when he's said plenty about Hillary that has been negative.

      Bernie Sanders is in the top5% but it's not obvious as he hides his assets in his wife's name. He's been making a six figure salary for over 25 years and he expects us to believe he's only worth $250 to $250k at the age of 75? His wife was making six figures also and when she resigned from her job at the college in VT, she received a lump sum payout worth close to $800k. If his figures are correct, I sure as hell don't want him as President, because he knows NOTHING about economics.

    On the same day that a new poll found Bernie Sanders edging Hillary Clinton 49%-48% nationally, the Sanders campaign announced a big rally in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday.

    According to Bloomberg Politics, “The collection of enthusiastic first-time voters, those under 35, men, and self-described independents that he’s leaned on to win in states like New Hampshire and Colorado are keeping Sanders in the race, as is his message singularly focused on addressing income inequality.”

    The Sanders campaign is looking to build on their momentum by rallying progressive voters in Madison ahead of the critical Wisconsin primary:

THEN I read an editorial from BS hometown that elaborated on how he did not get along with his staff. Domineering and illogical. No leadership or teamwork skills. And I thought, oh no, this guy hasn't been properly vetted like SP wasn't. I hope and pray that Hillary wins the nomination. IF BS was president, at best we will get a dufus like George Bush or an egomaniac like SP was as governor. Thank God she was not VP.

    Anyone who thinks the Republican Congress is going to pass any Clinton policy, is stupid.

      And Sanders has a chance, right?

      Cognitive dissonance.

      Anyone who thinks the House won't be in play in 2016 is also stupid.

      Hillary can get policy passed more than Bernie She at least has respect from House and Senate Dems who will do their best to get Rs to co-author or vote their way. Bernie doesn't have the respect nor is he a Dem. He used the Dems... he admitted it would get more media coverage plus he didn't have money to build a platform.

      So, Bernie will have all his policies zoom through a republican congress?

      4:23 - the House will also be in play but Bernie will not be President. What is it about math that you cannot grasp?

      For one thing that's supposition on your part, not facts. Enjoy your delusion.

    Being president is a lot of work. Too much work for old 74 year old Bernie.

    If you were 74 years old and you didn't want to retire and stay home with your wife you would run for president too.

    I would love free health care and education. etc. But waking up alive would be nice too. Bernie doesn't have the experience or temperament to deal with 2 am world crisis. We are a global community like it or not. A stock market crash, nuclear North Korea - goodbye free education, health care, building inrastructure; hello war.
