Today the Hartford Courant in Hartford, Connecticut endored Hillary Clinton for the Connecticut Democratic Primary saying she was the most qualified and effective.
Few Candiates in history have had Mrs. Clinton’s prepping for the challenges
that face the next President

The state and nation are in an uneasy place. The economic recovery hasn't lifted all boats. Families continue to struggle with doctors' bills, even with Obamacare bending the cost curve, and students wonder how they'll pay for college. Terrorism in Europe frightens Americans, while the U.S. has its own homegrown terrors.
Few candidates in history have had Mrs. Clinton's prepping for such challenges. As a senator from New York, she was more effective at legislating than Sen. Sanders was, The Washington Post says. As secretary of state, she secured the tough sanctions against Iran that eventually led the dismantling of much of its nuclear program. While first lady, she shrugged off the failure of her health-care-for-all plan in 1993 and set about helping to get millions of poor children coverage.
and below is where the Hartford Courant brings up one of the most important issues to Connecticut voters. Bolding is mine
We believe she can do the one thing that President Obama has not done and that Mr. Sanders may not do, with his ambivalent record on guns (including voting against the Brady bill) — use her political skills to get greater gun controls. Dec. 14, 2012, has tragically made that Connecticut's salient issue.
Why not Mr. Sanders?
He is idealistic. But he is also unrealistic.
The Hartford Courant discusses a few Clinton flaws, as well as, some of Mr. Sanders yet in the end endorses Clinton saying that:
Mrs. Clinton has turned dreams into laws. She has fought for the underclass, championing the causes of women and children around the world. Her grasp of foreign policy is deep — including, through sorry experience, the limits of U.S. power.
Given her resume, few people today are more qualified for the Oval Office than she is.
