Those aren't excerpts from attack ads by Hillary Clinton's campaign. Those are longtime Republican newspapers disavowing Donald Trump.
If newspaper endorsements equaled victory, Clinton would be in line for a historic landslide. She has been endorsed by dozens of papers ranging
from such expected backers as The New York Times to such once-certain GOP
advocates as The Dallas Morning News, the Arizona Republic and the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which on Sept. 23 called for "a leader who will bring out the best in
Americans nike air max 95 wholesale uk , not the worst."
On Friday, USA Today ended its tradition of not taking sides and published an anti-endorsement, contending that Trump "lacks the temperament,
knowledge nike air max 97 cheap wholesale uk , steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents." The paper didn't back Clinton but advised readers to
"Stay true to your convictions." The same day, The San Diego Union-Tribune
endorsed Clinton — the first Democrat it has endorsed in its history.
Trump, meanwhile, is supported by far fewer publications. They include a paper owned by son-in-law Jared Kushner (the New York Observer) and
the National Enquirer nike air max 97 wholesale uk , a tabloid whose parent company is run by Trump friend David Pecker and whose content usually focuses on celebrity
scandal.
Trump scorned the negative editorials Friday, tweeting that "The people are really smart in cancelling subscriptions to the Dallas &
Arizona papers & now USA Today will lose readers! The people get it!"
"I don't read USA Today," he said later to WZZM13 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "It's not much of a newspaper as far as I'm concerned."
If Clinton's overwhelming advantage among editorial boards mirrors the revulsion Trump has inspired from officials in both
parties nike air max 270 cheap wholesale uk , the endorsements may also illustrate the decline in newspapers' power to shape opinions and the strength
of Trump's anti-establishment appeal. Polls show Clinton trailing in Texas,
Arizona and Ohio despite the unexpected support of GOP papers. During the
primaries, the venerable conservative paper the New Hampshire Union Leader
endorsed Chris Christie, only to have the New Jersey governor lose the state
decisively nike air max 270 wholesale uk , drop out and back Trump. The Arizona Republic favored John Kasich in the state's GOP primary, but Trump won easily,
and the Ohio governor finished fourth.
"Newspaper endorsements don't have nearly the impact they used to," says Mark McKinnon nike air max 90 cheap wholesale uk , co-host of Showtime's political show "The Circus" and a longtime adviser who has worked with former President
George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the GOP's 2008 presidential
candidate. "There are just way too many other sources of information for voters
today."
"They are just part of the wave," says political historian Rick Perlstein, who is in the midst of a multivolume series on the rise of the
conservative movement and has written in depth about elections of the
1960s nike air max 90 wholesale uk , '70s and beyond. "They don't start anything, and probably didn't determine much — but betoken a widespread disgust
in the air."
Readers may not let editorials tell them how to vote, but they care enough to respond. Dallas Morning News editor Mike Wilson recalls a group
of about a dozen people demonstrated against the endorsement across the street
from the paper. Wilson went down to talk with them. In a series of tweets, he
described a discussion that began angrily but settled into a serious dialogue.
"I got a few words in and persuaded zero people nike air max 2018 wholesale uk ," he tweeted.
Wilson said he's received some messages from Clinton supporte .
