Newspaper Endorsements

 Once again a major newspaper has endorsed Joe Biden.  The Chicago Tribune four years ago endorsed libertarian idiot Gary Johnson for the presidency.


In our March primary endorsement of Joe Biden, we cited his moderation as a value Americans could embrace. In a field of diverse, left-leaning candidates promising free public college, student loan forgiveness, Medicare for All, universal child care, free rural broadband access — at times the Democratic primary resembled an Oprah Winfrey show giveaway — Democrats across the country settled on Biden.

Why? Because he is viewed as a common sense man of decency who could beat President Donald Trump. Those are, essentially, his top selling points. And they are enough for us, too, to offer a Biden endorsement.

Biden is an experienced legislator and a unifying figure at a critical moment for this country as we navigate a deadly pandemic, a teetering economy and a burst of racial tensions and civil unrest we haven’t seen in a generation. Biden’s leadership style and temperament represent an essential contrast to the current president’s exhausting slash-and-burn theatrics.
