The New Yorker Endorses Hillary

This is not a surprised endorsement, the entire piece is worth reading. The editors:

The election of Hillary Clinton is an event that we will welcome for its immense historical importance, and greet with indescribable relief. It will be especially gratifying to have a woman as commander-in-chief after such a sickeningly sexist and racist campaign, one that exposed so starkly how far our society has to go. The vileness of her opponent’s rhetoric and his record has been so widely aired that we can only hope she will be able to use her office and her impressive resolve to battle prejudice wherever it may be found.

The possibility of electing a woman president:

The election of a woman to the Presidency will have myriad reverberations in the life and the institutions of this country. President Obama’s election certainly did not end the saga of racial conflict and prejudice in the United States, but as a distinct step forward it opened up the world to countless young people. Similarly, electing a female President means imagining new possibilities: that a woman might survive that gantlet of derision to hold power with confidence, without apology, to enlarge our notions of authority and hasten an age when a female President will no longer be exceptional. Just as President Obama was able at certain moments of glaring injustice and crisis to focus the country on matters of race in a potentially lasting way, Hillary Clinton, who has emphasized in her campaign and throughout her political life such issues as early-childhood education, paid family leave, and equal pay, could also change the nation in deeply consequential ways. That’s a thrilling possibility for all Americans.

The Daily Herald Endorses Hillary

Editorial Board:

[W]hat sets Hillary Clinton apart is dogged courage, a tenacious strength to get up every morning and keep going that even Trump acknowledged in their second debate.

She is smart, assiduous, earnest, disciplined, prepared. Her orientation is less ideological than it is problem solving. She seizes on a problem and is relentless and creative in searching out solutions for it. She may not articulate passion, but her work ethic fairly glows with it.

She is open to advice, compromise and collaboration. If she can’t get a whole loaf, she’ll willingly accept half.

These are appealing attributes for someone who wishes to occupy the Oval Office.

For a quarter-century, Clinton has been the focus of unabating, vicious political attacks, many brought on by her own shortcomings, but most the result of some combination of exaggeration, conspiracy theory, jealousy and yes, to no small degree, sexism.

For all the shock and awe feigned over the Democratic campaign documents stolen and exposed by WikiLeaks, we’re more amazed by what they don’t show than by what they do. Just imagine the embarrassment for any large organization that would have its private email and unguarded thoughts suddenly strewn bare. All those Clinton campaign emails, almost nothing there.

Clinton, we tend to forget, has made her way in what before her had been largely a man’s world. And still is. For anyone to question her stamina, well, that’s just nonsense. In fact, it’s not only baseless; it’s offensive.

You don’t achieve what she has achieved, in the harsh environment in which she has achieved it, without great stores of energy and resilience. You don’t forge history, carve out a path that never before had been hewn, without tirelessness and bravery.

Star Tribune Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a historic choice for a woman who is fiercely committed to using government as a force for good, who is capable of working to strike a pragmatic balance among competing interests and who brings a lifetime of experience to one of the toughest jobs the world has to offer.

The News Tribune Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

If voters want a president with potential to inspire their daughters and sons, Clinton possesses more of the requisite qualities.

The Democratic nominee has proven she can play well with others; in the Senate, two-thirds of her bills were co-sponsored by Republicans.

Richmond Free Press Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

We believe Mrs. Clinton will build upon the Herculean efforts of President Obama to boost employment, education, diversity and economic opportunity. She is the right person at the right time to lead this nation.

We encourage you to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 8, for Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States.

Press-Citizen Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

This election cycle has seemed interminable from the outset, and the outcome a long-ago foregone conclusion. But the one saving grace of this endless race for the White House is that, in all likelihood, it will end with a tough, qualified woman serving as president of the United States: Clinton, who we endorse wholeheartedly.

The Guardian Endorses Hillary

Editorial:

Americans should vote for Secretary Clinton as an able and proven politician. A Trump presidency would be bad for America and dangerous for the world, so a vote for Secretary Clinton is the most effective way of preventing it.

East Oregonian Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

Clinton is worthy of the office. She has worked all her life to get there, and no one will work harder once she arrives.

Her opponent isn’t worthy of anything except sitting in his chair in his lonely, gilded hotel room, flipping through cable news channels and complaining about them.

Trump, a Feminist Hero

Susan Chira:

For decades, feminists have tried to stir outrage about how women are routinely groped, belittled, and weight-shamed. Yet Mr. Trump’s words and boasts have shown millions of voters, including people who believe feminism is a dirty word, what women endure every day.

Chira goes on:

Indeed, Mr. Trump is not just a gift to feminists – he is breathing renewed life into a movement to redefine just what a real man is and ought to be.

Trump Doesn’t Understand Women and Abortion

Jen Gunter, an OB-GYN, sets the record straight on late-term abortions:

The facts are that 98.6 percent of abortions happen before 21 weeks. Most of the terminations at or after 21 weeks are very wanted pregnancies with serious fetal anomalies. Some are for the health of the mother and a very small percentage are for personal reasons. Almost all women who have later abortions for personal reason would have had the procedure sooner if they could have, so the very laws proposed by politicians who aim to restrict abortion (mostly under the false pretense of safety) actually lead to delays.
