Endorsing third party candidates

Smerconich has interesting guests today on his CNN program. They were from the editorial pages of known Republican newspapers who either endorsed Hillary or Johnson.

They talked about their experience, the usual death threats and threats of cancellation - Dallas Morning News, I think.

But what was interesting was the endorsement of Johnson. Detroit News - I think - said that their audience would not accept endorsement of Hillary. Thus, they decided to endorse Johnson hoping that this would take votes from Trump.

Too bad Smerconich program does not have a transcript.

said HRC was the most qualified candidate on this November's ballot.

I hope U.S. voters can gather their wits about them and show up in large numbers and cast a vote for Clinton-Kaine.

Best choice by a damn sight.
