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.

Hillary, The Feminist

Amanda Marcotte:

Faced with a misogynistic pig with a long record of belittling and objectifying women, Clinton leaned into the idea that voters want a feminist in office. (After all, the last president they elected is one!) Despite decades of pressure from the media to step back, soften her voice, be more submissive and bake more cookies, Clinton made absolutely sure that the debate-watching audience could not doubt her commitment to feminism.

The Mercury News Endorses Hillary

Editorial:

Clinton is highly qualified to be president. Donald Trump is utterly unqualified. If he wins – which could happen if enough good citizens stay home election day – the shifts in American society affecting minorities, women, immigrants, Muslims and others will sharpen divides among us rather than healing them, as Clinton would try to do.

Trump’s Predatory Behavior

Jia Tolentino:

Even in his denials, Trump is acting like Trump, offering a string of epithets and diminishments that reinforce the idea that preying on women is a normal thing to do. It seems entirely clear that these allegations disturb Trump only because they inconvenience him. He has not once spoken about the matter as if he understands that groping women, in itself, is wrong.

On the way Trump treats women as objects, Tolentino writes:

Trump’s accusers have tellingly similar stories: he kissed them, he groped them, he leered at them, he seemed blind to the idea of mutual interest. He also did all of this in familiar surroundings—as if the women were merely part of the buildings and organizations that he owned.
