#3 It’s not that we believe Biden is a terrific candidate. We don’t.

But we'll support this mentally flatlining son of a bitch no matter what, then pretend to not know why the Democrats lost another election. Maybe the Plain Dealer will still be in business when the next President gets elected; I tend to doubt it.

#5 ...Keep this in mind: The PD is so well run that after the old Cleveland Press went under in '82, they couldn't hack being the only paper in a 1-paper town. Did so well that they're now in print only three days a week.

Also, their record on endorsements ain't that great; in 1864 they endorsed George McClellan instead of some fella named Lincoln, and in '04 they were going to endorse John Kerry when the editor overruled them and endorsed George W. Bush...at which point there was a flat out rebellion at the paper and they endorsed no one.

#6 /\ The old Cleveland Press, the afternoon daily, a Scripps-Howard gig.

Several months ago the PD turned off the capability for Comments on their articles, about the only thing that made visiting the site worth while.

#8 Trump has shown compassion for a long time. Leadership too, even if one did not care for the direction. Since he began his campaign he has been far more honest than pretty much any major politician. Integrity - examples?

#9 It’s not that we believe Biden is a terrific candidate. We don’t.

Nobody does. Joe will get all of his votes from people who either hate Trump, are fictitious, are illegal aliens or are deceased because nobody loves Joe.

#10 #7 Full intro as follows:

Integrity matters... so let's elect a man who as VP helped his brother the war profiteer and his cokehead grifter son score literally millions from the VP's influence in Iraq, China, Ukraine and even Russia

Honesty matters... so let's elect a clownish lifelong plagiarist and liar who was nearly kicked out of law school for cheating, who lied shamelessly and slandered a man for years regarding his first wife's traffic accident, and whose earlier presidential run was ended when he lifted an entire speech from Neil Kinnock the U.K. Labour politician

Leadership matters... so let's elect the buffoon whose own boss in the White House called him "my insurance policy" against assassination

Compassion matters.... Are you talking about

- the narcissistic flaming asshole who strips naked and parades in front of his female security detail?

- the grinning sniffing monster who repeatedly gropes little girls in front of their parents and his colleagues' wives in front of them?

- the vile slanderer who destroyed an innocent truck driver who was in no way guilty of drunk driving in the accident in which his first wife was killed?

- the pathetic little political thug who tried to destroy Clarence Thomas and who insulted and tried to humiliate (but was gloriously humiliated by) Menachem Begin?

WhoTF are you talking about?
