Trump finally gets the first editorial (but not the first endorsement) supporting him in GE

This was the first editorial (but not the first endorsement) supporting Trump in the general election--it comes from the St. Joseph (MO) News-Press.

They end the endorsement with this:
"Donald Trump became relevant due to the glaring failings of an entrenched governing bureaucracy defined by Obama and Clinton. A vote for Trump is a vote to change this dynamic and to cast our lot with a movement that is bigger than Trump alone."

Meanwhile yesterday Hillary Clinton got the backing of the following papers which endorsed Mitt Romney for President in 2012:

The Bulletin (Bend, Oregon)
Fosters Daily Democrat (Dover, NH)
The Wisconsin State Journal (Madison, WI)
The Columbian (Vancouver, WA)
The Pantagraph (Bloomington, IL)
The Billings Gazette (Billings, MT)

These papers on Sunday endorsed HRC after not making any endorsement for president in 2012:
The Register Guard (Eugene Oregon)
The Kenosha News (Kenosha, Wisconsin)
The Modesto Bee (Modesto, California)
