Supervillain of Sexism

Erin Gloria Ryan:

Trump is a veritable buffet of sexism. A sexist supervillain. A library of chauvanism. An everything bagel of misogyny. He’s a one-stop shop for proof that a host of feminist issues are not made up complaints. He’s a human department store that sells pay disparity and creepy old man grabbiness. For women who have faced sexism for their entire lives, seeing it in a national figure with a devoted following of millions is dreadful. But at least now when men want to know what sexism looks like, women have a larger-than-life example at the ready.

Vietnamese-Americans Switch to Democrat Party

FiveThirtyEight’s Farai Chideya:

Vietnamese-Americans, who number nearly 2 million, with especially large concentrations in California and Texas, are part of the larger narrative of Asian-Americans who have switched party affiliations and votes from Republican to Democratic.

According to the National Asian American Survey, 46% of Vietnamese-Americans support Hillary and 20% support Trump.

The Journal Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

How else to explain that the Republican Party has nominated a lunatic? The party of Lincoln and Reagan has inexplicably advanced a presidential candidate who is manifestly unqualified to handle sharp objects, let alone be entrusted with the most powerful position on Earth.

But the less said about Trump the better. The very notion that he is on the ballot is an insult to our democracy.

Vote for Hillary Clinton for president.

The Register-Guard Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

Clinton is among the best-prepared candidates ever to seek the presidency, having served eight years in the U.S. Senate and four years as secretary of state… Trump, by contrast, would be the first president in American history with no record of service in either elective office or the military.

Trump Raped His First Wife Over His Hair

Jane Mayer:

In [Harry] Hurt’s account, Trump was furious that a “scalp reduction” operation he’d undergone to eliminate a bald spot had been unexpectedly painful. Ivana had recommended the plastic surgeon. In retaliation, Hurt wrote, Trump yanked out a handful of his wife’s hair, and then forced himself on her sexually. Afterward, according to the book, she spent the night locked in a bedroom, crying; in the morning, Trump asked her, “with menacing casualness, ‘Does it hurt?’ ” Trump has denied both the rape allegation and the suggestion that he had a scalp-reduction procedure. Hurt said that the incident, which is detailed in Ivana’s deposition, was confirmed by two of her friends.

Quite disturbing.

The Modesto Bee Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

We make no apologies for endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. Of the two major candidates and all the minor-leaguers, she is by far the most qualified, most prepared, most thoughtful, most experienced and most deserving of our votes.

The Herald Bulletin Endorses Hillary

Editorial:

Clinton offers our country clear advantages over Trump in every major area where the president must excel, including foreign policy, the economy and social justice.

Staten Island Advance Endorses Hillary

Editorial:

Vote for Mrs. Clinton because in this election, she alone displays the dignity, the grace, the passion and compassion, the mental acumen, the temperament – and yes, the incredible experience on the national and international level – that will allow America the best opportunity to move forward in how we treat our neighbors here and abroad, and how we will protect ourselves from those neighbors out to not just do us harm, but to destroy our way of life.

The Aurora Sentinel Endorse Hillary

Editorial:

In a world and a nation that has historically so cruelly punished women for their gender, it is remarkable that America has finally reached this milestone. And it’s fitting that a woman who has fought so valiantly against that bigotry, for herself and all women, is the one to break through the glass ceiling and become president of the United States. Hillary Clinton has earned your vote.

Citizen Kaine

Evan Osnos:

As a politician, Kaine has elements of Joe Biden’s heart and Barack Obama’s brain: schmaltz in service of political advantage. He has never lost an election—from Richmond City Council, in 1994, to lieutenant governor, in 2001, governor, in 2005, and senator, in 2012. In one of thousands of e-mails released by Virginia’s State Library from his days as governor, Kaine once lamented to aides that, despite a decent record—he cut the budget, expanded early-childhood and technical education, secured funding for higher-education construction, reformed mental-health and foster-care programs, and reduced infant mortality—his term was often described, by the press, as having “no significant accomplishment.”
