(Original title: Hillary Clinton would make a sober, smart and pragmatic president. Donald Trump would be a catastrophe.)

American voters have a clear choice on Nov. 8. We can elect an experienced, thoughtful and deeply knowledgeable public servant or a thin-skinned demagogue who is unqualified and unsuited to be president.

Donald J. Trump, a billionaire businessman and television personality, is the latt

er. He has never held elected office and has shown himself temperamentally unfit to do so. He has run a divisive, belligerent, dishonest campaign, repeatedly aligning himself with racists, strongmen and thugs while maligning or dismissing large segments of the American public. Electing Trump could be catastrophic for the nation.

By contrast, Hillary Clinton is one of the best prepared candidates to seek the presidency in many years. As a first lady, a Democratic senator from New York and secretary of State in President Obama’s first term, she immersed herself in the details of government, which is why her positions on the issues today are infinitely better thought-out than those of her opponent.

Replace “Clinton” with “Ted Bundy,” “Scott Peterson,” “Idi Amin,” etc....and it would read the same thing, as long as that individual was a Democrat.

Her hands have been in the till all along.
I wouldn’t trust her with the change I find
in the laundry.

She is mean and it shows in her face.
Were she to win, one can be assured
that those who didn’t vote for her
would pay a terrible price.

This is why the L A Times is given away free. The streets are littered with their throwaway copies.

Why does the LA Times still bother to publish an English edition?

This should be a prime example why newspapers should not choose sides.

Those that already support Clinton will embrace the articles, those that support Trump will ignore it. The article will not influence anyone to change their minds.

However, if the LA Times had a reputation as being honest and fair in it’s reporting, an article like this could sway some to support Clinton (of course that assuming the same article would be written if they were fair and honest. I don’t think so.)

The American people would be safe to assume anything written by the LA Times (or the NY Times, on most other major city newspapers) is nothing more than a campaign ad by the Democrats.

Today’s newspapers lost their reputation for honesty and fairness years ago, it is no wonder they are going the way of the DoDo bird.

What kind of prostitute do have have to be to allow such idiotic statements to appear in your newspaper?

As long as the definition of “Smart, Sober and Pragmatic” includes being a long-term alcoholic/mean drunk, destroying the Middle East and selling influence to the highest bidder (usually Saudi Arabia) then I have to concede that the L.A. Times has a point.

Hillary is neither sober or smart. Her pragmatism is limited to exploiting influence for personal gain.

Suuurprise! I’m waiting for the Washington Post’s impending endorsement.

Then the three-legged MSM trifecta will be complete.

More likely, it's Sam Giancana. He was the head of the Chicago mob when JFK was running for president. Jack Kennedy's father paid him to make sure that Kennedy won Chicago and Illinois.

Sam Giancana, fully expecting expecting to be rewarded handsomely when Kennedy won, was horrified when JFK appointed his brother Bobby as Attorney general.

Bobby Kennedy, instead of reciprocating by giving Giancana political cover, targeted and went after Giancana like they were "enemies going back to the old neighborhood".

Giancana wanted Bobby out of his hair.

Giancana said "If you want to kill a snake, you don't try to cut off its' tail, because the head will just come around and bite you, but if you cut off the head of the snake, the body dies."

So (rumor has it) Giancana had JFK whacked, effectively depriving Bobby of his power as attorney general.

Around five years later, somebody had Bobby whacked. Payback can be a bitch sometimes.
