Des Moines Register Endorses HRC (they endorsed Romney in 2012)

[book_worm]

The outcome of the 2016 presidential election won’t tell us anything we don’t already know about the two major-party candidates — but it will say a lot about who we are.

Are we a nation that believes in freedom of religion, a right our founders held so dear they enshrined it in the First Amendment, or are we a nation that denies entry and citizenship to people of one specific faith?

Are we a nation that believes in the rule of law and the limited powers of the presidency, or are we a nation that wants its president to prosecute and jail his political opponents?...

The case for a Clinton presidency could easily be made even if the GOP nominee wasn’t Donald Trump, a man who has never held public office, never worked in the public sector, has no experience in foreign relations, and has relatively few political allies even within his own party...

With Trump on the Nov. 8 ballot, there is more at stake than important policy decisions on immigration, energy, the economy, education, climate change and foreign intervention. Democracy itself is threatened when its care is entrusted to individuals who are neither statesman nor thinkers and who would abuse the powers of their office to silence opposition and retaliate against their political opponents.

1. Fantastic! Has her opponent received one newspaper endorsement yet?

[triron]

3. Big zero

[Brother Buzz]

5. Las Vegas Review-Journal, owned by Sheldon Adelson, isn't endorsing Clinton

but more telling, they're not endorsing Trump, either.

[RandySF]

6. NY Post, National Enquirer

[book_worm]

9. The Post endorsed him in the primary--have they done so for the GE?

[book_worm]

8. Yes, the Santa Barbara News Press endorsed him--the only daily newspaper to do so

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

11. ...and it was a YUUUUGE Endorsement, also.

A total of three words:

"President: Donald J. Trump"

End of "endorsement"

[oberliner]

2. This feeds into the "rigged" narrative

Every single newspaper is endorsing HRC (or at least not endorsing Trump).

[book_worm]

10. Yes, we should tell some of them to endorse Trump so he won't

use it as an example of a rigged election.

[oberliner]

12. That's a good idea

Doesn't Sheldon Adelson own a newspaper in Vegas?

[triron]

4. Should help her

win Iowa.

[madaboutharry]

7. This is an excellent endorsement.

And the comments are mostly intelligent.

[Amonester]

13. This paragraph is telling it as it must be!

Trump mocks the disabled, denigrates prisoners of war, objectifies women, brags about his anatomy on national television and, if his own boastful comments are to be believed, indulges in criminal, predatory behavior. Then he looks at America and asserts, as he did in Nevada just two weeks ago, “I am a reflection of you.” It’s up to each of us, as voters, to disprove that statement and proclaim to the world, “We are better than that.”
