Endorsement: Hillary Clinton for president

Endorsement: Hillary Clinton for president

Sonic blasts of rancor from Donald Trump have obscured communication in recent months. Trump has been the funhouse mirror version of a candidate, but the lights are about to be shut down on this carnival and we’re a little queasy from the ride.

Throughout his bombastic campaign, Trump has routinely offered reminders that he is woefully unfit to hold this office.

Though Clinton’s critics have occasionally mined sexist reasons to shove her aside, there have also been profound reasons for voters to challenge her past conduct, including the latest revelations about her dubious handling of classified emails. Despite this, she is more than merely the lesser of two evils; more than the president voters will be forced to settle for. She has the experience and potential to hold our highest office with distinction. Americans should embrace her possibilities.

Take a moment to consider the last century of presidents and ponder which ones had job training comparable to that of Clinton. She knows the Oval Office from the inside as first lady, congressional chambers as senator, and leaders of the world as secretary of state.
