Clinton Bags More Endorsements


The Washington Post endorsed Clinton for president weeks before the first debate. The New York Times took a little longer but came to the same conclusion. Okay, it is Donald Trump after all. Not a tough call.

But what about reliably Republican newspapers? Papers like the venerable Arizona Republic? It's never endorsed a Democrat - until now.

"Since The Arizona Republic began publication in 1890, we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never. This reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles. This year is different. The 2016 Republican candidate is not conservative and he is not qualified," the editorial in the Republic, the state's largest, says.

The Arizona Republic isn't some outlier either. Other conservative papers including the Houston Chronicle, the Dallas Morning News and the Cincinnati Enquirer have also rallied to Clinton.

The BBC notes that Trump has yet to receive the endorsement of a single major publication. Not one.

Trump people don't read newspapers, though. That's an elitist activity.

Anyong....There is a wonderful report from an American Reporter on CBC's "The Current" regarding Trump's connection with the Mafia (the reporter was threaten by Trump) this morning Sept 29, 2016. Donald Trump is nothing but a thug. You can hear this again this evening on CBC at 8:00 pm.
