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.

I’m waiting to see who MSNBC endorses.
“”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.”
This is Junior High writing. Typically when one makes a statement as if fact it is then either followed up or what precedes is supporting evidence, thus supporting the qualifying statement.
What preciseand specific problems has she solved in “the real world” that makes he more qualified than Donald Trump?
I’m sure everyone is shocked over this unexpected event.
I crack me up.

Aren’t we all in total shock?
The NYTimes is a laughing stock. They’ve obviously decided that comedy could be a more profitable business model than news reporting.
Following NYT journalistic standards, this should be posted as Braking Noose.

Someone please list them even the smallest.
How many people actually read that toilet paper?
Why is this news? The last Republican the Slimes ever endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower, and that happened before I was born!
Wow, THAT’S shocker.
What a surprise.
They give no examples whatsoever to support their case.
She’s a democrat. We want her to win.
Editorial board meeting over!
Now let’s all go for some organically raised something or other that has been approved by PETA.
flotsam and jetsam
It’s probably from the Clinton family crest, where the motto reads “Donatuus, Tenacious.”
Damn! I lost that bet...<<...I did too!...but the odds were a million to one on a dollar so i bet 50 cents
