The Arizona Republic Endorses Hillary

The Arizona Republic Editorial Board:

Clinton has the temperament and experience to be president. Donald Trump does not.

On dignity:

Clinton retains her composure under pressure. She’s tough. She doesn’t back down.

Trump responds to criticism with the petulance of verbal spit wads.

When the president of the United States speaks, the world expects substance. Not a blistering tweet.

On recklessness:

Trump’s inability to control himself or be controlled by others represents a real threat to our national security. His recent efforts to stay on script are not reassuring. They are phony.

The president commands our nuclear arsenal. Trump can’t command his own rhetoric.

This is a historic endorsement for Hillary. The Arizona Republic endorses a Democrat for president for the first time in 126 years.
