Johnson for President Endorsement (Hillary Rejected by her Hometown Paper)
The Chicago Tribune ^ | September 30, 2016 | Editorial Board

Posted on 09/30/2016 1:37:58 PM PDT by PBRCat

Time upon time, Clinton's behavior affirms the perception that she's a corner-cutter whose ambitions drive her decisions. One telling episode among the countless: Asked by a voter if she was for or against the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, she replied, "If it's undecided when I become president, I will answer your question." As we've asked here before, will Hillary Clinton ever get over her consuming fear of straight talk?

Formerly a Republican newspaper, The Tribune has moved to the Left in recent elections. Interestingly, the editorial board of the leading newspaper from Hillary's hometown (which had endorsed Obama) could not bring itself to endorse Clinton despite not liking Trump. The full length editorial spent more time criticizing Clinton than Trump.

The Tribune endorsed the Libertarian candidate almost by default.

“her consuming fear of straight talk?”

Wonderful analysis of why she lies.

She has a fear of the truth! She is a stranger to the truth and lies even when telling the truth would be advantageous. If I did not dislike her, so intensely, I might feel a tinge of pity for her. Sure...

Sure! That way she can be for it after she was against it!

Too bad that won’t get wider circulation.

By default, no almost. Very few if any papers will endorse Trump. I’m pleasantly surprised though that they couldn’t bring themselves to actually endorse Hillary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper_endorsements_in_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2016

None of those people who write these endorsements are good Republicans who care about the only thing that matters, stopping Hillary and the pernicious organized crime outfit known as the democratICK party from appointing a Nazi Supreme Court that will usher in the American Reich.

No responsible person would consider at this point voting for any democrat, ever, for any office, unless

A)It’s a loyal conservative Republican running as a democrat after that party’s failure to field a candidate, just to use that ballot line to beat a RINO like PA Congressional candidate Art Halvorsen running against RINO Congressman Bud Shuster.

Or

B)The race is a binary choice between 2 rats, like the Cali Senate race, in which case the proper thing is to vote for the one who’s election would be less bad, Loretta Sanchez over Kamala Harris (a future national candidate if she wins).

Few people read the papers now and I don’t think anyone* gives much a flying damn what these editorial boards think. Who are those people anyway? Their opinions matter because they say they do? I say they mean dog crap, before my dog passed away laying the paper down on the deck to serve as her toilet was my only use for the Trib. More people probably read FR than read some of these papers anymore, so I hereby declare myself an editorial endorser and I endorse the Trump/Pence ticket and proclaim anyone voting for Hillary to be evil or retarded and anyone voting for Johnson to be a space cadet.

*Other than Politics1.com sitemaster Ron Gunzberger, who tweets with glee about every paper that usually endorses Republican (or never endorses) going Shillery or Johnson.

Gunzberger’s site is unreadable with the garbage printed on his newsfeed.
