Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumDoes a newspaper endorsement make a difference?
I can't say that my opinion about a candidate is affected by a newspaper's endorsement. I'll read it to see what they have to say and consider their opinion but if they happen to endorse the candidate I choose to vote for, it's a coincidence. I have a lot of respect for the Washington Post, the New York Times and my local Chicago Tribune. I respect their opinion. But in a primary election, I've got my own agenda.

(10,137 posts)fewer than 5 newspapers in the entire United States endorsed Trump; he won anyway. So, no, I don't think it makes a difference anymore.
