NYT Endorses Hillary, Says Trump is Worst in Modern History
The New York Times today endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.
We will explain in a subsequent editorial why we believe Mr. Trump to be the worst nominee put forward by a major party in modern American history.

After giving the details of Hillary's accomplishments, life-long service and commitment to bettering the lives of Americans, and acknowledging a few personal mis-steps, it concludes:
Mrs. Clinton’s service spans both eras, and she has learned hard lessons from the three presidents she has studied up close. She has also made her own share of mistakes. She has evinced a lamentable penchant for secrecy and made a poor decision to rely on a private email server while at the State Department. That decision deserved scrutiny, and it’s had it. Now, considered alongside the real challenges that will occupy the next president, that email server, which has consumed so much of this campaign, looks like a matter for the help desk. And, viewed against those challenges, Mr. Trump shrinks to his true small-screen, reality-show proportions, as we’ll argue in detail on Monday.
Through war and recession, Americans born since 9/11 have had to grow up fast, and they deserve a grown-up president. A lifetime’s commitment to solving problems in the real world qualifies Hillary Clinton for this job, and the country should put her to work. (my emphasis.)
No rational person or credible media outlet will endorse Donald Trump. Voters may be angry at the status-quo, but they aren't suicidal and they won't be willing to bet the futures of their children and grandchildren on a carnival-barker like Donald Trump. Provided people wake up and vote, this election should be a landslide win for Hillary Clinton.
I really don't care what Donald Trump says or does, but I think he really showed his emotional immaturity today in responding to the Clinton campaign giving Mark Cuban a front row seat at the debate: He 'tweeted' he might give his most prize front row seat at the debate to Gennifer Flowers. Can you imagine a President who responds to world leaders he doesn't like with a tit for tat like he's still in the third grade?
"If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Jennifer Flowers right alongside of him!"
He later corrected the spelling to Gennifer.
In other Trump news, his hotels have agreed to pay a $50,000. penalty for a few serious data breaches that "exposed 70,000 credit card numbers and other personal information of its customers." And what will probably surprise no one: the hotels didn't warn their customers for four months. I wonder who approved that decision.
Further investigation found malware at several Trump hotels and that an attacker in 2014 had gained unauthorized access to steal sensitive information.
The high-end hotel chain, which includes the Trump Soho and Trump International in New York and properties in Chicago, Las Vegas and Waikiki, Hawaii, knew about the initial infiltration as early as June 2015, but did not warn customers for nearly four months, which the attorney general’s office said violated state laws requiring expedient notification.
