4. The editorial calling it a tie between Clinton & Trump is full of right-wing talking points

Some of the worst parts of an unbelievable editorial calling it a tie:

"Ms. Clinton is essentially an abortion-on-demand person. Mr. Trump seems genuinely appalled by partial-birth abortion."

Comments noted that "partial-birth abortion" is a code phrase not a medical procedure.

"Mr. Trump’s political and intellectual independence gives him the freedom to question assumptions and to sunset some of Washington’s corrupt folk ways as well as some of its outdated laws."

Does this make any sense whatsoever?

"...she would escalate the Cold War with Russia, which could turn into a hot war. Mr. Trump wants to try detente with Putin."

They call Trump "naive" about Putin, but show no evidence of being up to date on anything in regard to Trump and Russia.

They close by saying Clinton will begin "under criminal investigation" and will likely be impeached.

Beyond unbelievable into horrifying.
