This paper has not endorsed a Democrat for president in its 148-year history. But we endorse Clinton

Sixteen months into his campaign, Donald Trump remains Donald Trump. Despite constant counsel from GOP advisors and insiders to adopt a decorous public persona, Trump continues to lash out at critics, to insist complex problems can be solved with little effort and to depict an America that’s been “ripped off by every single country in the world,” as he said in this week’s debate.

For millions of Americans upset with the status quo, it’s an entertaining show, and a convincing one.

But if Trump is elected president, he will no longer just be putting on a show. Upon inauguration on Jan. 20, he would be in charge of the executive branch of a global superpower and possess enormous authority, operating with no coherent worldview besides “I alone can fix it.” Military leaders have said Trump will face pushback if he orders them to do illegal things, such as torturing the families of terrorists, but in many crucial parts of the government, a President Trump will be able to people his administration with individuals whose jobs depend on keeping him happy. Imagine that. Imagine President Trump.

Based on what Trump has said, we could see an administration that’s friendlier to ruthless Russia — which is waging a cyberwar against America — than to such democracies and historic partners as Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Japan and Australia.

2. I miss Nadin!

I haven't seen a post from her in too long.

She always brought San Diego news to DU.

Where are you, Nadin? We need you more than ever.

4. I know. I despise DU bullies!

I have lost more than one DU friend to them.

Nadin is a DU treasure. It is sad that she no longer feels safe here.
