The editorial board for the Los Angeles Times encouraged California voters to cast their ballots Tuesday for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the state’s primary contest.
The board argued that Clinton was more prepared for the presidency than Sanders, while also noting that the Vermont senator had “captured the imagination of many Democrats.”
“Voters in California’s Democratic primary owe a debt of gratitude to Bernie Sanders for a campaign that has emphasized issues that otherwise might have been ignored,” the board wrote. “But they should cast their votes for Hillary Clinton.”
The newspaper argued that if Sanders won California, he would keep his campaign alive, encouraging superdelegates who have vowed to vote for Clinton to switch their votes.
Clinton has led Sanders by just two percentage points in recent surveys among likely primary voters.

How did folks in your neck of the redwoods respond to her June 2nd foreign policy/Trump take down speech. I’ve seen some reports that her speech sealed the deal for a lot of likely voters. The latest polls were run prior to it.
All in all, a balanced, well thought out endorsement, in my opinion. I endorse the endorsement.
Bernie Bros claim that the endorsement should have been divided between Clinton and Sanders by using Clinton subscribers and Sanders subscribers ratio of total subscribers in 5, 4, 3, 2, …
