Orlando Sentinel already announces 2020 endorsement: Not Trump
POLITICO ^ | June 18, 2019 | Quint Forgey

Posted on 06/18/2019 7:48:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

The principal newspaper in Orlando, Fla., where the president is set to kick off his reelection bid Tuesday, has already announced its 2020 White House endorsement: anyone but Donald Trump.

“We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump,” the editorial board of the Orlando Sentinel announced Tuesday, hours before Trump is set to appear in the city’s Amway Center to launch his campaign for a second term.

“Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent. Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump,” the editorial board wrote.

“After 2½ years we’ve seen enough. Enough of the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self-aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies.”

Not surprising but still disgusting.

A great post. Basically every lying poll from any left wing news paper that shows Trump losing, has been and still is pure BS and Fake News.

Anyone posting these fake polls and opeds without saying they are bs, is working for the enemy that wants to destroy America.

Thanks to Trump20162020 for posting this reality.

An explanation on another site:
“It’s because his trailer-trash deplorables don’t/can’t read. Those 120-lb. “dudes” with the stained wife beater shirts and MAGA caps among the southern belle Klanswomen that cheer behind Orange Julius don’t care about newspapers. They know that even with a 10th grade education that non-whites are the reason for their failures.

People who can read should already know who to vote for.”

When’s the Orlando Sentinel’s next bunch of layoffs? buyouts? and cutbacks?

Removing Trump is not going to eliminate the division. It existed under Obama.

They should check the addresses against voter rolls first. I imagine many conservatives don't want their local paper anywhere near them.

There was an ad on twitter for $6 for 12 weeks of The New Yorker, and one of the commenters said, "Ok, I've thought about it. For $6, you can send me the "New Yorker" for 12 weeks!"

As long as liberals are unable to accurately recognize cause and effect of the “ Trump revolution” they will lose by every legitimate means.

That leaves only fraud

“Principal newspaper?” No, it’s the only newspaper, owned by the Chicago Tribune. And they are hemorrhaging subscribers. Gee, what coincidental timing!

So the dem candidate could be Satan or David Duke and the Slantinel would endorse them over President Trump. Got it.

Orlando’s Pulse is surely throbbing at the thought of having a POTUS called Mayor Pete.

I always wondered what it was like when dinosaurs got stuck in tar pits before going extinct.

The Orlando Sentinel gives us a current peek at what extinction is like.

Or . . . “After 2½ years we’ve seen enough. Enough of the improved economy, increasing jobs, factories returning, oil self-sufficiency, equitable trade treaties, Euros paying for NATO, squeezing Mexico."
