---snip-- There’s a better choice for voters, and it isn’t even close. Many Americans consider Hillary Clinton just as flawed as Trump, but if you ignore the dueling TV ads and look at their records you will find that isn’t true.
We have concerns about Clinton too, including her unwillingness to share transcripts of the dozens of highly compensated speeches she made to Wall Street firms; the relationship between major donors to the Clinton Foundation and nations she negotiated with as secretary of state; and her unwillingness to hold press conferences, which demeans the ideal of open government.

They dont matter anymore and it hurts
I read a similar editorial recently in the Des Moines Register, saying Hillary ‘represented American values.’ After barfing, I cancelled my subscription.
Nobody in the suburbs reads this trash.
This is the Philly version of the NY Times.
Leftist propaganda outlet endorses criminal politician. Who knew....
The media’s idea of “American values” is leftist lying, cheating, scheming, stealing, undermining, race-baiting, Jew-hating, Christian-bashing, Sodomite-worshipping, Ambassador-murdering, Constitution-shredding, infanticide-loving, Mohammadan terrorist & illegal pandering. And those are just some of Hillary’s best qualities.
That a woman who has been politically active, her entire adult life, among a people with the most successful history of economic achievement over their first century and a quarter, of any people on earth, under a Constitutional Government designed to protect that people from a bureaucratic pestilence, which has been the bane of most nations; that such a woman has so missed the essential point of the American achievement, is staggering in its implications.
Mrs. Clinton claimed that a Clinton Government would rebuild the "Middle Class." Was she totally unaware that the American Middle Class clearly built itself? That the American Middle Class resulted from naturally energized individuals, aspiring to achieve the good life, who risked everything to first clear a wilderness, work hard, generation to generation, to save & accumulate the attributes of the good life; with the result that by 1913--the year that a graduated income tax first became Constitutional, this Settler built Federation of newly settled States, had already surpassed every one of the great powers of Europe in industrial strength.
To "rebuild" the "Middle Class," Mrs. Clinton vowed to make the most successful Americans--those who had achieved the most--pay increased taxes; she called it "paying their 'fair' share." But it was clearly to be a tax on success--a tax to fund a raft of new programs (a cancer or pestilence of an expanded bureaucracy). She was obviously indifferent to the fact that the biggest impediment to any poor person with ambition, actually launching a small business to improve his status, is an almost incomprehensible explosion in bureaucratic regulations, most of which premised on the same flawed understanding of how people actually advance, which Mrs. Clinton displayed, last night.
Americans used to learn by experience. What were the experience based lessons of what transpired from the drafting of our written Constitution in 1787, until the passage of the income tax amendment in 1913? Are they instructive or not, for what actually works for human advancement?
The Constitution prior to 1913, absolutely interdicted a tax driven war on the accumulation of individual wealth. Article I, Section 9, which Mrs. Clinton should have remembered from Law School, provided that no direct tax on individual Americans could be applied in any way but pro-capita. (That is Warren Buffet would pay the same tax--not the same percentage tax--but the same tax as Joe the Plumber. The Founders had no desire to limit individual success. They sought only to encourage it.
Under there experience based philosophy, there were almost certainly not even 1% of the bureaucratic regulations, with which Americans seeking to improve their lot, must face today. In place of today's pursuit of grievances, real or imagined, there was universal admiration for the high achievers! And the growth rate of a people freed to achieve, was the economic phenomenon of human history.
We do not pretend to know whether it was in her indoctrination by Marxist Pied Pipers, in her late teens, or pure confusion in whatever she is struggling with today. But Mrs. Clinton is utterly clueless on how a dynamic economy works; as she is utterly unaware of the dynamic, interactive factors, that drive or stagnate any human aspiration or achievement. What is absolutely clear, even if one ignores her lack of a moral compass in her political dealings; the woman is absolutely unqualified to be President of the United States.
This is one more reason why we must win this election for Donald Trump.

The Philadelphia Inquirer (and it’s companion newspaper, the Philadelphia Daily News) has been on shaky financial ground for quite a while now. They had to sell their building downtown, and now rent a couple of floors in the former Strawbridge and Clothier Department Store building. They might survive as an online news site, but I doubt if the print version will be around for the next presidential election.
I wonder who the Evening Bulletin would have endorsed. (Probably something like “hold your nose and vote for Hillary,” like the Wall Street Journal.)
I thought it was the OTHER Enquirer.
Kind of a backhanded endorsement. With friends like this she does not need enemies.
And boycott everyone that advertise in them.
What a pathetic bunch of Free-America haters.
Philly INQUIRER always confirms who I should NOT vote for.
Me too. St Pete times...gone. I hated to do that because I clip coupons and need bird cage liner. I just found out the Washington post owns them. That says a lot. Several months ago I got rid of two Wall Street journal subscriptions. Oh I tell them why too.
Clinton’s 3 main accomplishments.
1- She married Bill
2- She had a baby
3- She moved to NY
Add more if you know any.
I stopped my subscription in the 1980’s. Same old liberal rag.
Well it is good to have a reference point.
