History-Making Endorsements Roll in from Editorial Boards Coast to Coast
As President Obama said, “There is only one candidate in this race who believes in that future, and has devoted her life to it; a mother and
grandmother who'd do anything to help our children thrive; a leader with real plans to break down barriers, blast through glass ceilings, and
widen the circle of opportunity to every single American, the next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton. That's the Hillary I know.
That's the Hillary I've come to admire. And that's why I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman — not me, not Bill,
nobody — more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.”
NATIONAL EDITORIAL BOARDS
New York Times: Hillary Clinton for President: “Our endorsement is rooted in respect
for her intellect, experience and courage... Over 40 years in public life, Hillary Clinton has studied these forces and weighed responses to
these problems. Our endorsement is rooted in respect for her intellect, experience, toughness and courage over a career of almost
continuous public service, often as the first or only woman in the arena. […]a determined leader intent on creating opportunity for struggling
Americans at a time of economic upheaval and on ensuring that the United States remains a force for good in an often brutal world.”
Foreign Policy, first endorsement in magazine’s history: Hillary Clinton for President of the United States: Trump would “put at risk
our way of life, our freedoms, and our alliances… Fortunately, not only is Trump opposed by a worthy candidate, but his opponent is, on
foreign-policy and national security issues — all of the areas we cover here at FP— one of the best qualified candidates this country has
produced since World War II. As first lady, New York senator, and secretary of state, Hillary Clinton regularly distinguished herself by her
intelligence, dogged work ethic, ability to work across the political aisle, and leadership on difficult issues.”
Latina Magazine: Latinas! It’s Time to Stand Up and Deport Donald Trump’s Presidency Dreams: “After enduring a targeted onslaught on
our community by Donald Trump for the past 16 months, the stakes for Latinas has never been greater. Which is why we are joining forces
with fellow leaders in media and business, artists, activists, and influencers, to stand together to officially endorse Hillary Clinton for
president… A vote for Hillary Clinton is not only a rebuke against Donald Trump’s xenophobic attacks; it is a better choice on the vital issues
that matter most to us.”
Los Angeles Times: Hillary Clinton would make a sober, smart and pragmatic president. Donald Trump would be a catastrophe:
“American voters have a clear choice on Nov. 8. We can elect an experienced, thoughtful and deeply knowledgeable public servant or a
thin-skinned demagogue who is unqualified and unsuited to be president…. Hillary Clinton is one of the best prepared candidates to seek
the presidency in many years. As a first lady, a Democratic senator from New York and secretary of State in President Obama’s first term,
she immersed herself in the details of government, which is why her positions on the issues today are infinitely better thought-out than
those of her opponent.”
USA Today: Trump is 'unfit for the presidency': “This year, one of the candidates — Republican nominee Donald Trump — is, by unanimous
consensus of the Editorial Board, unfit for the presidency. From the day he declared his candidacy 15 months ago through this week’s first
presidential debate, Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America
needs from its presidents.”
Washington Post: Donald Trump is a unique threat to American democracy: “The real estate tycoon is uniquely unqualified to serve as
president, in experience and temperament. He is mounting a campaign of snarl and sneer, not substance. To the extent he has views, they
are wrong in their diagnosis of America’s problems and dangerous in their proposed solutions.”
Washington Post: Hillary Clinton for president: “In the gloom and ugliness of this political season, one encouraging truth is often
overlooked: There is a well-qualified, well-prepared candidate on the ballot. Hillary Clinton has the potential to be an excellent president of
the United States, and we endorse her without hesitation.”
REGIONAL EDITORIAL BOARDS
Arizona Republic, first Democratic endorsement in its 126 year history: Endorsement: Hillary Clinton is the only choice to move
America ahead: “The challenges the United States faces domestically and internationally demand a steady hand, a cool head and the ability
to think carefully before acting. Hillary Clinton understands this. Donald Trump does not. Clinton has the temperament and experience to be
president. Donald Trump does not.”
Bangor Daily News: Hillary Clinton Has the Vision, Experience and Temperament to Serve as Our Next President: “For us, the choice isn’t
between the proverbial lesser of two evils. The choice is between voting for someone committed to a life of public service who has the
experience, the intelligence and the temperament to lead the nation versus someone who is committed only to himself, who lies constantly
and who regularly displays a lack of self-control.”
Cincinnati Enquirer, first Democratic endorsement in nearly a century: Enquirer: It has to be Hillary Clinton: “Clinton is a known
commodity with a proven track record of governing. As senator of New York, she earned respect in Congress by working across the aisle
and crafting bills with conservative lawmakers. […] Trump is a clear and present danger to our country. He has no history of governance
that should engender any confidence from voters.”
The Columbus Dispatch, first Democrat endorsement in 100 years: For President | Trump unfit, Clinton is qualified: “For us, the
choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is not pleasant, but it isn’t difficult. Republican candidate Donald Trump is unfit to be
president of the United States. Democrat Hillary Clinton, despite her flaws, is well-equipped for the job.”
Concord Monitor: Clinton is right choice for president: “Unlike her opponent, Clinton has policy proposals on tax reform, education,
infrastructure rebuilding, immigration reform and more. Her nature is to work toward progress slowly and relentlessly, no matter the
obstacles. Throughout her career she has focused on improving the lives of women and children, and she has succeeded. As her
opponent noted, Clinton never gives up.”
Dallas Morning News, first Democratic endorsement since before WWII: We recommend Hillary Clinton for president: “Resume vs.
resume, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest. […] Hillary Clinton has spent years in the trenches doing the hard work needed
to prepare herself to lead our nation. In this race, at this time, she deserves your vote.”
The Denver Post: It’s an easy call: Hillary Clinton for president: “Democrat Hillary Clinton, the first woman ever to win a major-party
nomination, is without question the most qualified candidate in the race for president and an easy call to make when considering the
challenges confronting the nation. Her nearly 40 years in public life have instilled in her the temperament she needs to face the many
challenges that await.”
Des Moines Register: Register's endorsement: Clinton a vote for American values: “For those who believe America should be a beacon
of a hope in a world ravaged by terrorism, that it should be a force for good and that its leaders should embody all that is best about this
nation, there is only one choice for president: Hillary Clinton.”
Houston Chronicle: These are unsettling times that require a steady hand: That's Hillary Clinton: “On the issues, there’s no comparison in
terms of thoughtfulness, thoroughness and practicality. […] On foreign affairs, the former secretary of state is knowledgeable, dependable
and trusted worldwide, unlike her blusterous opponent whose outrageous remarks last week about Russia were merely the most recent
bizarre outburst to unsettle our allies.”
Johnstown Tribune-Democrat: Hillary Clinton the only choice for president: “Hillary Clinton is the best choice to lead the United States
forward as president. Her lifetime of public service – including her years as First Lady, a U.S. senator and secretary of state – have
prepared the Democratic nominee to handle the many challenges our nation will face in the coming years.”
Las Vegas Sun: We agree with Trump, which is why The Sunday endorses Clinton: “Against all odds, something insightful finally came
out of Donald Trump’s mouth. When Trump closed the second presidential debate by praising Hillary Clinton as a fighter, he spoke volumes
about why she should be the next president. Not only did the comment spotlight a key reason to vote for Clinton, who has spent her entire
adult life battling for such worthy causes as better treatment for migrant workers and disadvantaged children, but Trump again proved to
be a disaster when working without a script.”
Mankato Free Press: Our View: Hillary Clinton for president: “Chaotic times abroad and challenges to the civil order at home call for the
next U.S. president to be an exceptional leader who can represent what America stands for around the world and bring us together as
one nation indivisible. That leader is Hillary Clinton.”
Miami Herald: The Miami Herald recommends Hillary Clinton for president of the United States: “The narrative that Hillary Clinton is the
lesser of two evils is patently wrong. Ms. Clinton is a pragmatic, tough-minded woman of accomplishment and political conviction with a
demonstrated mastery of policy…. Her dogged determination and inexhaustible energy — it’s called stamina, Mr. Trump — were on display
when as secretary of State she circled the globe to repair America’s image and reputation with friend and foe alike after a trying period
during the preceding administration. Her efforts to impose sanctions on Iran and force that country to the negotiating table over its nuclear
program have made the world safer.”
Omaha World Herald: Hillary Clinton is prudent pick for president: “With that much on the line, the prudent vote would go toward the least
risky candidate for president. Put another way, the candidate who would have the best chance to implement changes by working with
Congress, foreign and domestic leaders and military leaders under normal circumstances as well as during a crisis. That candidate is
Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
Raleigh News & Observer: For president, Hillary Clinton. “As a candidate, Clinton will not win by dividing and offering hollow promises of
huge tax cuts and restoring some mythical former America. She will win on knowledge, competence and grit. On the campaign trail, she
connects with crowds by acknowledging their needs and raising their hopes. Trump says America is in decline. Clinton sees it rising into
the promise of a new century. No candidate has ever been more qualified. She will be an excellent president. Vote for Hillary Clinton.”
Salt Lake Tribune: In the end, Hillary Clinton is the only qualified candidate, and the best choice: “Clinton's devotion to making the world a
better place for the less fortunate, especially children, has been the core of her whole career. She sees the threats of terror abroad, gun
violence at home and climate change globally and has plans to address all of that, and more.”
Traverse City Record Eagle: Clinton the only choice in November: “Clinton has demonstrated the prerequisite leadership qualities to
occupy the Oval Office. Meanwhile, it is clear Republican nominee Donald Trump has none of the essential traits necessary to provide
steady leadership for our country… In contrast, Clinton has proved she is the only candidate on the Nov. 8 ballot equipped with the
temperament to lead the United States both at home and abroad.”
Wisconsin State Journal: Hillary Clinton. America must get this right.: “Hillary Clinton — by far — is best prepared to lead our nation
toward peace and prosperity… Clinton is disciplined, knowledgeable and experienced. Unlike her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, a
wealthy New York businessman and reality television star, Clinton will assemble a strong administration that can work with Congress
toward bipartisan solutions.
As President Obama said, “There is only one candidate in this race who believes in that future, and has devoted her life to it; a mother and
grandmother who'd do anything to help our children thrive; a leader with real plans to break down barriers, blast through glass ceilings, and
widen the circle of opportunity to every single American, the next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton. That's the Hillary I know.
