Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has received fewer endorsements from the nation's largest newspaper editorial boards than any major party presidential candidate in history.

Among the top 100 largest newspapers in America, just two -- the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Florida Times Union in Jacksonville -- endorsed Trump. The Review-Journal is owned by Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who has spent millions trying to elect Trump.

"Donald Trump, despite all of his faults, is best suited to blow up the inbred corruption of the Washington-New York elites," the Times-Union wrote in a Sunday editorial.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has received endorsements from 57 newspaper editorial boards across the country, including papers such as the Dallas Morning News, the Arizona Republic and the San Diego Union-Tribune, conservative bastions that have almost always backed Republicans.

4. Actually the count appears to be Clinton 239 daily and 133 weekly papers, Trump....

..19 daily and 5 weekly.

That's 372 for Clinton and 24 for Trump. In fact, there are a number of "No-Trump" papers, too: 66 daily and 13 weekly.

There are more than three times NO-Trump as there are Pro-Trump.
