For The First Time In Its 126-Year History, This Newspaper Endorsed A Democrat
The Arizona Republic backed Hillary Clinton and trashed Donald Trump in the process.

The Arizona Republic has only endorsed Republican candidates for president in its 126-year history.

But this year is different, the paper’s editorial board wrote on Tuesday.

Hillary “Clinton has the temperament and experience to be president,” the board wrote. “Donald Trump does not.”

The editorial also called out Trump for consistently making degrading comments toward women and minorities, which it said show “a stunning lack of human decency.”
