The St. Louis American endorses Hillary Clinton (African-American Weekly newspaper)
(The St. Louis American is a weekly newspaper serving the African-American community of St. Louis, Missouri. The first issue appeared in March 1928).
If Americans selected their president on the same basis they choose candidates for most important jobs, based on tangibles such as competence and experience, then there would be no controversy surrounding the 2016 presidential election.
Only one candidate on the ballot has served in the U.S. Senate and as a member of the U.S. president’s cabinet. Only one candidate has negotiated complex bipartisan legislation in the Congress as well as sensitive international agreements with potentially belligerent foreign nations. Only one candidate has gone through two terms in the White House as the president’s closest and most trusted advisor. Hillary Clinton is, by objective and tangible measures, undoubtedly one of the most competent and experienced individuals who ever sought a first term as U.S. president. Without hesitation she has our endorsement, as well as the endorsement of nearly every African-American elected official in the state of Missouri and countless black clergy and civic leaders....
After her shocking upset loss in Michigan on Tuesday, she needs to win in Missouri and Illinois. That means she will need a strong showing from black voters to win these two important Midwest states. We strongly endorse and encourage you to vote for HILLARY CLINTON FOR U.S. PRESIDENT on Tuesday, March 15
