Endorsement

For most of its existence, the local newspaper has endorsed the Republican candidate for president.  

That changed this year:

Four Octobers ago, this editorial page wrote of Donald Trump that he was “bombastic, boorish, egotistical, offensive. He credits himself as a warrior in a relentless campaign against political correctness. But too often, he’s just plain obnoxious, obsessing over trivialities with self-aggrandizing self-promotion.”

Four years ago, the newspaper, recognizing the unappealing choices for president, endorsed no one.  Today, with apparent reluctance, it supports Joe Biden.
