HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES- Foreign Policy magazine.

In the nearly half century history of Foreign Policy, the editors of this publication have never endorsed a candidate for political office. We cherish and fiercely protect this publication’s independence and its reputation for objectivity, and we deeply value our relationship with all of our readers, regardless of political orientation.

It is for all these reasons that FP’s editors are now breaking with tradition to endorse Hillary Clinton for the next president of the United States.

Our readers depend on FP for insight and analysis into issues of national security and foreign policy. We feel that our obligation to our readers thus extends now to making clear the great magnitude of the threat that a Donald Trump presidency would pose to the United States. The dangers Trump presents as president stretch beyond the United States to the international economy, to global security, to America’s allies, as well as to countless innocents everywhere who would be the victims of his inexperience, his perverse policy views, and the profound unsuitability of his temperament for the office he seeks.

Trump supporters, and honestly anyone on the fence can't possibly qualify. I don't think it makes a lick of difference to the basement dwelling fox news hogs. They read People magazine if they read anything, and most likely have never heard of that magazine, if they have Fox will tell them it is a liberal rag.

However, the more endorsements Clinton gets, the better. Clinton keeps getting new endorsements every day while Trump is losing his endorsements.
