Why we won’t endorse Trump or Clinton
The Courier ^ | 10/1/2016

Posted on 10/03/2016 1:30:46 PM PDT by tekrat

The 180 year old conservative newspaper mainly representing the right leaning Hancock county in Ohio has declined to no endorse either leading presidential candidates.

Quoting from the article about why it will not endorse Trump:

This year, however, The Courier cannot endorse the Republican Party’s candidate. Americans always put their country first, way ahead of their party, and we withhold an endorsement not to spite the party for selecting Donald J. Trump, but because its nominee has clearly proven to be unfit to be president of the United States of America.

Also quoting from the article about why the news paper will not endorse Clinton by default:

Of course, our refusal to endorse Trump does not mean The Courier recommends the Democratic candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Our philosophical and specific differences with her and her proposed policies run wide and deep.

So, that neither Trump nor Clinton are well-suited for the times is a disappointing testament to the widening cracks in our political thinking and our political system.

“Clearly proven to be unfit for the Presidency”?

ON WHAT GROUNDS?

LOL these Globalists. The ONLY thing they have against Donald Trump is he is going to ruin their New World Order.

Cancel subscriptions.

These people are not entitled to your money.

Let’s see them survive on their snobbery.

Not to compare the two, but Abe Lincoln would have also been declared “unfit for office” since he wasn’t a career politician. But that’s exactly what we need less of.

If you are not with Trump & America you are with Hillary Criminal & her SCOTUS. It’s that simple.

Clearly both Trump and Criminal hiLIARy should withdraw because of this influential paper.

Cowards.

Another example that proves the Republican-RAT dichotomy in govt and the media has been a false one for some time.

Has the DMN demonstrably suffered for their decision? I hope they have.

If it wasn't for Trump, the "Republicans" would have run some schmoe that would have got torpedoed right out of the chute.

The cryptoRepublican-Democrats would have been able to continue lying in the weeds, sabotaging the conservative cause at every turn - while pretending to "support" the Republican candidate.

Trump set fire to the weeds, and flushed them out.

So this is a little like Nancy Pelosi telling a Democrat in a conservative district, “We’ve got the votes to pass the bill, so go ahead and vote against it.”
