Admiral would strengthen Hillary ticket
I am heartened to hear that Hillary Clinton is considering distinguished retired Adm. James Stavridis as her running mate. In the face of increasing unrest at home and abroad, an experienced real-world military professional is a reassuring choice.
As an ardent Bernie Sanders supporter, I thought that little could make me support Clinton, aside from the fear of a Trump presidency. Fortunately, Clinton’s potential choice of Adm. Stavridis or another military professional mitigates some of my reservations about her history and recent political missteps. I may just vote for Hillary after all.
