N.Y. Times endorses Clinton for U.S. president
WASHINGTON The New York Times endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for the White House on Saturday, saying she was more qualified than Republican presidential rival Donald Trump to handle the challenges facing the United States.
The newspaper described Clinton as "one of the most tenacious politicians of her generation" and said she had displayed a command of policy and diplomatic nuance while building a reputation for grit and bipartisan cooperation.
"A lifetime’s commitment to solving problems in the real world qualifies Hillary Clinton for this job, and the country should put her to work," the Times said of the former secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York.
Clinton will face off against Trump on Monday night in the first of three presidential debates, with opinion polls showing her once sizable lead over the New York businessman narrowing amid continued public doubts about her trustworthiness.
The Times said Clinton's mistakes had distorted perceptions of her character, but praised her work restoring U.S. credibility in foreign affairs as secretary of state and on behalf of children, women and families throughout her career.
"Mrs. Clinton has shown herself to be a realist who believes America cannot simply withdraw behind oceans and walls, but must engage confidently in the world to protect its interests and be true to its values," the newspaper said.

A shocking and unexpected development!
“The Times said Clinton’s mistakes had distorted perceptions of her character”
That is why those people in Florida laughed at the idea of her being honest?
Because of some boo boos?
Gesus that paper is a mess. Likely they haven’t endorse a Republican in decades.
The Ministry of Propaganda’s flagship endorses “the most tenacious” grifter ever to run for President.
But, hey, at least she in a natural born citizen and eligible unlike the last guy they endorsed.
She’s a crook and belongs in jail since Whitewater.
They could have made this announcement the day Hillary proclaimed herself a candidate and no one in the entire world would have been surprised. The NYT: a dinosaur in modern days when truth and facts override and illuminate liberal propaganda and lies.

This is “news”? A real shocker! Wait until the Slimes finds out that the sky is blue. Of course, they’d have to leave their offices in New Yawk to see the sky and I doubt that will ever happen. They don’t mix much with the unwashed American masses in flyover country. The trouble with most of the DNC toads in the national propaganda machine these days is that they love any opportunity they can find to make themselves the “news”.
Breaking News? :)
Tenacious. Well, that’s one way to put it.
