2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDo newspaper endorsements hold any weight in 2016?
Obviously the power and influence of big dailies has waned in the digital age. I'm sure those that get an endorsement are happy to get it, but, really, are there voters that look to these endorsements in determining the candidate to support?
I'm sure Clinton supporters will say yes and Sanders supporters will say no. Is there empirical evidence either way?

Despite having almost no big paper endorsements he still has a very good chance of beating Clinton for the democratic nomination.

I can not believe people once had to live that way.
