| After the Detroit News endorsement, this article from New Republic, on the number of conservative newspapers - including the Dallas Morning News and the Arizona Republican - that have come out in support of Clinton seems particularly apt. | |
| As Brian Buetler writes, it’s too little too late. | |
| Even before newspaper editorials shrunk into vestigial artifacts of a bygone era, their impact was self-limiting. Editorial boards tend to have durable leanings which undermine their persuasive power over partisan politics. Conservative editorial boards usually endorse Republican candidates, liberal ones endorse Democrats, and only in man-bites-dog scenarios, in which they depart from their own in-house orthodoxies, do any minds stand to get changed. | |
| Man is biting dog now, but it is a tiny, shrunken man and the dog is rabid and enormous. | |
| It is partly a failure of today’s media that the public views Clinton only slightly less unfavorably than it views Trump, and sees her as far more dishonest than he. But it is also a failure that goes back a quarter-century. Clinton is flawed in plenty of real ways, but she is also the victim of a hate debt that began piling up in the 1990s, undisrupted by most conservative public figures. | |

| The 2016 nominee offered by the Republican Party rubs hard against the editorial board’s values as conservatives and Americans. Donald Trump is unprincipled, unstable and quite possibly dangerous.
