This is a pretty monumental endorsement. The Dallas Morning News hasn't endorsed a Democrat since FDR. And the editorial is very well stated ....

There is only one serious candidate on the presidential ballot in November. We recommend Hillary Clinton.

We don't come to this decision easily. This newspaper has not recommended a Democrat for the nation's highest office since before World War II — if you're counting, that's more than 75 years and nearly 20 elections. The party's over-reliance on government and regulation to remedy the country's ills is at odds with our belief in private-sector ingenuity and innovation. Our values are more about individual liberty, free markets and a strong national defense.

We've been critical of Clinton's handling of certain issues in the past. But unlike Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has experience in actual governance, a record of service and a willingness to delve into real policy.

Resume vs. resume, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest.

In Clinton's eight years in the U.S. Senate, she displayed reach and influence in foreign affairs. Though conservatives like to paint her as nakedly partisan, on Capitol Hill she gained respect from Republicans for working across the aisle: Two-thirds of her bills had GOP co-sponsors and included common ground with some of Congress' most conservative lawmakers.

As President Barack Obama's first secretary of state, she helped make tough calls on the Middle East and the complex struggle against radical Islamic terrorism. It's no accident that hundreds of Republican foreign policy hands back Clinton. She also has the support of dozens of top advisers from previous Republican administrations, including Henry Paulson, John Negroponte, Richard Armitage and Brent Scowcroft. Also on this list is Jim Glassman, the founding executive director of the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas.

Clinton has remained dogged by questions about her honesty, her willingness to shade the truth. Her use of a private email server while secretary of state is a clear example of poor judgment. She should take additional steps to divorce allegations of influence peddling from the Clinton Foundation. And she must be more forthright with the public by holding news conferences, as opposed to relying on a shield of carefully scripted appearances and speeches.

Those are real shortcomings. But they pale in comparison to the litany of evils some opponents accuse her of. Treason? Murder? Her being cleared of crimes by investigation after investigation has no effect on these political hyenas; they refuse to see anything but conspiracies and cover-ups.

We reject the politics of personal destruction. Clinton has made mistakes and displayed bad judgment, but her errors are plainly in a different universe than her opponent's.

Trump's values are hostile to conservatism. He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control.

After nearly four decades in the public spotlight, 25 of them on the national stage, Clinton is a known quantity. For all her warts, she is the candidate more likely to keep our nation safe, to protect American ideals and to work across the aisle to uphold the vital domestic institutions that rely on a competent, experienced president.

Hillary Clinton has spent years in the trenches doing the hard work needed to prepare herself to lead our nation. In this race, at this time, she deserves your vote.

I'm not disagreeing with you regarding their mis handling of the ME, but just wondering if in your opinion there is a President who HAS handled the ME correctly? Seems a powder keg with many conflicting interests, and there simply is no one correct path. Having Colin Powell making the head of ISIS much much more important than he actually was when speaking at the UN was surely a blunder, but that's hindsight, and surely other past administrations all have their own blunders.

Ironically, I think this points to Trump's problem.

Let's say Hillary coughs a little too hard and her skin falls off to reveal the lizard underneath. Like in V.

Biden steps in. He's a Democrat, so he's going to act like a globalist tool.
Maybe Kaine steps in. Guess what, he's going to be a globalist tool also.
How's about Bernie? YUGE globalist tool.

What's the takeaway? Even though Lizzie is by far the most powerful humanoid in the room, she's still constrained to within a set of parameters, just like the others.

Trump isn't constrained by parameters, which isn't inherently a problem, but puts almost the entire onus upon the individual.

The reason I can play musical chairs with the Democrats is because their parameters are defined by a coherent philosophy they all share. Trump is still struggling to define one for himself at 70.

For the bet of being unconstrained by parameters, Trump has failed even to meet the ante.

I'm sorry but this has long since passed into the territory of utter nonsense. The Clintons don't even take a salary from the foundation. They "owe their allegiance" to the Saudis who donate money that they give away??? GTFOOH!!!!

Criticize ole Slick Willie for making $18 million as the "honorary chancellor" for a for-profit university. Or for cashing in on his time as POTUS with his extremely lucrative speaking fees. But going after the Clinton Foundation is a bridge too far given the evidence on the table.

Reports are only 10% of the Foundation money gets distributed. Where does the other 90% go? Administrative costs?

If the situation is it would look so bad for her to maintain ties with the Foundation as President they're going to sever her involvement if she wins, that kinda sorta makes me lean towards her current involvement failing the "sacrosanct" test.

OMG!!! The Clinton Foundation is NOT setup as a "pass through" fundraising operation. You are right. Approximately 10% of the funds raised go to external charities. The reason for this is because it is setup to conduct its own internal charitable operations.

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina says that “so little” of the charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation “actually go to charitable works” — a figure CARLY for America later put at about 6 percent of its annual revenues — but Fiorina is simply wrong.

Fiorina and others are referring only to the amount donated by the Clinton Foundation to outside charities, ignoring the fact that most of the Clinton Foundation’s charitable work is performed in-house. One independent philanthropy watchdog did an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that about 89 percent of its funding went to charity.

Simply put, despite its name, the Clinton Foundation is not a private foundation — which typically acts as a pass-through for private donations to other charitable organizations. Rather, it is a public charity. It conducts most of its charitable activities directly.
Where Does Clinton Foundation Money Go? | FactCheck.org

Like I said. There are plenty of legitimate political attacks you can make against the Clintons. After all as two attorneys they are quite skilled at pushing the limits of their power and influence as far as they can without technically crossing the line into illegality. But the Clinton Foundation fundraising activities is simply NOT one of them.

I'm going to start keeping a tally of how many times this has to be said between now and the election.

1) seizure gate: at least once
2) coughing gate: at least once
3) neurological condition from her concussion: at least once
4) CGI: 1

I bet we could come up with literally a dozen substantive things we could all agree upon are a thing. She's been around for 239048230948 years, this is not hard.

Is globalism a destination which is reached and then go "job's done"?

Since Trump appears (as much as one can tell with him) to have staked out hardline nationalist territory, I think it's a fair contrast.

I'd probably end up on "team globalist", and welcome our New World Order. Put that in your Jade Helm and smoke it.

You haven't been paying attention.
On Tuesday, the Trump campaign said the foundation had accepted between approximately $21.3 million and $65.5 million from the governments of countries with "policies hostile toward women's rights, gay rights and human rights," including Algeria, Brunei, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Friends of Saudi Arabia organization and the Zayeds, the ruling family of the Emirates

Has anyone asked Trump "You say you have a plan to defeat ISIS, and once elected you will divulge your plan. If it is true you have a plan, how can you, as an American, sit on this plan while American service people are dying while we wait for your plan. Where is your patriotism, and why are you dangling a plan while Americans are dying?" I find it baffling if this hasn't been asked, and would love to watch him as he replies.

I heard he has a good plan. He has a really good plan. He has a great plan. He will beat ISIS so fast, you have to be careful not to blink for otherwise you'd miss it. That's how good his plan is.

Also, he was told by this one cop how to end crime, and that this cop had a plan. Trump didn't ask what it was, but that's not important, he'll hire him after he gets elected.

Show where Putin has simply handed over 10s of $millions$ to Trump, as SA has done with Hillary (along with several other ME countries). The latter should be enough to disqualify any person from being POTUS, because even if she divorces herself from the Clinton Foundation after the fact, that money will always be a benefit to her family. The only honest thing to do is for the Clintons to give every dollar of it back (snowball's chance in hell of that happening).

Yeah. Ok.

OUR RULING

Rosen said, "The Clinton Foundation is a charity where President and Secretary Clinton and their daughter, they take no salary, they get no money from it, they take no personal benefit from it."

Rosen’s claim is correct on its face. The Clintons do not take any sort of paycheck, bonus or fees from the Clinton Foundation.


It is possible the foundation has boosted the Clintons’ public image since Bill Clinton left office, and this has helped them command hefty speaker fees and book advances, and it’s also given them extra opportunities to mingle with the global elite. But they may have gotten these benefits even without the Clinton Foundation. Their celebrity primarily comes from their track record in politics.

We rate her claim Mostly True.

The Clintons are. Primarily Bill. But that is a completely separate operation than the Clinton Foundation. As I said earlier this is a more legitimate issue when it comes to political criticism. Are there donors that write one check to the foundation because they support making HIV treatments affordable around the world ... and write another check to Bill for him to speak at one of their functions? I would imagine so. But if you are going to make a political attack then the more legitimate avenue is the brazenness and scope of the Clinton's post-presidency "cash-in". Without a doubt Slick Willie got paid! Like nearly all senior elected officials do when they leave office. But he made money hand over fist.

OTOH attacking the Clinton Foundation which by all objective measures is a well-run charity doing good work around the world is just political amateur hour. Do you really think that angle of attack will persuade an undecided voter living in suburbia in a swing state to vote against Clinton? Or is it more likely to insulate her from more legitimate attacks because they get lost in all the noise of the "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" approach coming from the right?

I feel it's a shot on the cheaper side of the spectrum.

I kind of agree that this is a "fluffy" issue, but in context of his other Ivanka comments it looks... skeevy. Perhaps it's a combo of her age, her 80's short shorts (of course what she wears shouldn't matter, she is a kid) which make me uncomfortable. At that age I wouldn't have sat on my father's knee, not wearing that. Both he and I would have been uncomfortable.

This reflects a certain amount of new england prudishness, of course.

Would we be similarly critical of a similar picture of Bill and Chelsea, W and Jenna, or less controversially, Jimmy Carter and Amy?

Only because you dislike Trump, that's definitely coloring your view of this.


First: Why not ask Hillary if she would date Chelsea?
Two: She's very attractive, funny, intelligent, and independent. 99% of men would date Ivanka, despite possible age differences, at least he was being honest about it.

Young kids, sure. 15 year old girls in public, not so much.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Yes, the possible Trump incest is a dumb topic. His infatuation with Ivanka's looks could be because that's pretty much the only criteria he measures women by.

I will say that seeing what looks like a 15 year-old girl sitting on her Dad's lap in public is a bit weird.

I found the pic under the description "grinding" on her dad's lap.

Anyway here is caring guy and patriot Trump's words from 11th September 2001:

"40 Wall Street," he said, referring to his 71-story building blocks away from the now-collapsed twin towers, "actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest-and then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it's the tallest."
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

That's absurd.

Possible? WTF? And you say the Right are conspiracy theorists?

My sister sat on my dad's lap on her wedding day, and she was 24.
