RE: Newspaper Endorsements 2016 Presidential Race
you wont. not because its Trump. but because he is not the establishment. most of these doofuses dont care who wins as long as they are establishment and can be controlled. Trump scares the hell out of them because they are not going to be able to control him, and he is already ripping the media a new one.

which is simply going to drive more free thinkers to Trump.

Does anyone really pay attention to newspaper endorsements?

This election is hilarious. If either candidate was running against virtually anyone else, this wouldn't be a dead heat.

Any newspaper, that is part of a corporation, that ever wrote an editorial criticizing the Citizens United decision, would be hypocritical to publish an endorsement.

*Newspaper doesn't endorse my candidate*

"Newspapers are worthless and out of date!"
"Who cares anyway?"
"Conspiracy!"
"Establishment"

Not a chance it's because your candidate is a buffoon?

This. Only stupid people are swayed by newspapers. Free thinkers could care less. They can do their own research.

RE: Newspaper Endorsements 2016 Presidential Race
I actually think it's more interesting that 6 papers have endorsed Johnson thus far (more interesting than 0 Trump endorsements). I wouldn't be surprised if that's the most endorsements for a 3rd party candidate since John Anderson in 1980 (possibly Ross Perot but my guess would be Anderson).

And yes, both major party candidates are buffoons in their own regard. I think the only thing that all of us can agree upon is that both are probably their party's least liked candidates in many, many generations.

Gary in my opinion echoes the Libturds stance on most everything in this election. I sincerely wish that these Libbers do vote for Gary. They'll be taking votes away from the Wicked Witch of the West.

Goooo Gary.

That may be your "opinion" but the facts say otherwise. He is not interested in raising taxes or spending us into oblivion.

RE: Newspaper Endorsements 2016 Presidential Race
Las Vegas Review Journal endorsed Trump yesterday. That's his first endorsement this year (not counting a few, incredibly tiny smalltown newspapers). Of course, Sheldon Adelson is owner of the LVRJ and he's a Trump billionaire supporter. But I have to be fair and report a minor victory for the Donald. And Nevada is a battleground state so maybe it helps him a bit there. Maybe.

I updated the original post and here are the latest endorsement totals for those who care.

The tally as of today

183 endorsements Hillary Clinton
6 endorsements Gary Johnson
5 endorsements Donald Trump
9 endorsements not Donald Trump
34 No endorsement
1 endorsement not Hillary Clinton

38 papers that endorsed Romney in 2012 have endorsed Clinton.
