To the Editor:
Your editorial quite rightly mentions the likelihood that a hostile Congress will stymie a liberal president. And given the hostility of Republicans toward Hillary Clinton, we can imagine that their behavior toward her might exceed even their ugliness toward President Obama, if she is elected.
The most practical and important difference in the two Democratic candidates, as I see it, is that, as president, a hawkish Hillary Clinton would be more likely to bow to Republican pressure to invade Syria or Iran or another dictatorship, further overextending America’s military and soaring national debt, inflaming anti-American passions and ultimately increasing our vulnerability.
