'Don't vote for Trump,' says USA Today in first presidential endorsement in its history(LAT)
LA Times ^ | Sept. 29, 2016 | LAT editorial

Posted on 09/29/2016 8:11:39 PM PDT by Innovative

USA Today broke its 34-year tradition of not endorsing in a presidential race, publishing a scathing argument against voting for Donald Trump.

The editorial board unanimously found Trump "unfit for the presidency" and the editorial, published Thursday, goes on to list the reasons why, among them: his "erratic" behavior and his "checkered" business past.

The anti-Trump sentiment does not translate into an enthusiastic Clinton endorsement. The piece notes that although some editorial board members admire her record, others have "serious reservations about Clinton’s sense of entitlement, her lack of candor and her extreme carelessness in handling classified information."

I will be happy if Trump is as successful as president, as he is in business. Maybe he can turn our huge deficit that Obama is leaving, into a surplus.

I wonder how much did USA Today got from the Clinton campaign to publish this Trump-bashing non-endorsement.

Shows how badly the establishment doesn’t want Trump.

(And how ingrained in our society they are...)

So many here keep saying that Trump is ahead, but I’m sorry, this continual bashing of Trump is taking its toll on this election and not in a good way for Trump. It must be nice to be able to believe Trump will win regardless of the reported news.

Their front page is an ad against Republicans and for leftist causes every single day. God these people want open borders so much it’s wild.

“Unanimously” “unfit”

Well there. You have it, folks. If Trump is “unfit” then it follows that HilLIAR is “fit”. You know, the one who flipped the bird to national security with an unsecured server? The one who’s lied to the FBI and America, deleted documents NOT related to yoga and spoiled grandkids. Who’s “career” has been riding the coat tails of a crook, a MAN no less.

Yessiree, Trump is “unfit” and HilLIAR, well she’s just The Smartest Girl the World’s EVER Known

Wherever we go where they give out free USA Today, demand it be removed from the premises. Along with CNN on TV.

USA Today still exists?

I remember when they used to dump those things at your hotel room door. No one wanted them anymore so the hotels finally quit. I guess they were dumping them in hotels because they thought they could say they had such a high circulation for suckers that bought their advertising.

One good thing about the Internet is that I don’t have to read garbage like USA Today anymore. I don’t see them being around for many more elections. They will become worthless too.

I guess you missed the primary. Short summary...the MSM attacked Trump unmercifully and polls said he couldn't possibly win. Certainly NEVER get 1237 electoral votes. So what is nice is not believing everything the MSM says. Even nicer is believing nothing they say.

USA TODAY is always left by hotel doors each morning...

I always keep them, bring them home, they are great for fire starters in the wood burner here in the mountains.. and for the outdoor burn pits we enjoy with a glass of wine...

Trump has all the right enemies! It’s one reason I decided to look seriously at him.

We just got one left under our door at the motel twice this week. My husband took one look at it and said, “Boy, they’ve dumbed this thing down even more than it already was!”
