Washington Post backs Clinton for White House

One of America’s leading newspaper, the Washington Post, on Thuirsday, endorsed ex-US First Lady and Flagbearer of the Democractic Party, Hilary Clintion, for the White House.

“Hillary Clinton has the potential to be an excellent president of the United States, and we endorse her without hesitation,” the influential US daily wrote, adding, “no, we are not making this endorsement simply because Ms Clinton’s chief opponent is dreadful,” the newspaper said.

Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee “is dogged, resilient, purposeful and smart,” the newspaper wrote while acknowledging her many political and personal missteps of the past — failings it said are outweighed by her strengths.
