Like millions of Americans, The Dispatch editorial board has asked this question more than once: How, in a nation of more than 300 million people, did we end up with two such disliked and distrusted presidential candidates?

At the same time, we worry that this dismaying choice will cause some voters to throw up their hands and pass on this election. We urge voters to do their homework, cut through the half-truths and lies, and go to the polls with facts.

For us, the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is not pleasant, but it isn’t difficult. Republican candidate Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States. Democrat Hillary Clinton, despite her flaws, is well-equipped for the job.


The paper is no longer owned by the Wolfe Family but has stayed conservative. I don't know the last time they endorsed a Democrat for president, but I'm subscribing full-week tomorrow; they are going to need the support!

3. Saw That

Wonders never cease.

But at this point....you have to figure the people and institutions still pro Trump would support Charlie Manson if he were let out of jail and leading the ticket.

4. True that!

I get the Sunday paper (for the coupons, mostly... and they let me have it for a dollar, delivered) and was waiting to see what they'd do. I said I'd subscribe full-week if they broke tradition (and drop even the Sunday if they went deplorable), so I guess I have a call to make tomorrow.
