Yet another long-time conservative newspaper — it hasn't supported a Democrat over a Republican since its founding in 1890 — has come out for Hillary Clinton.

Clinton retains her composure under pressure. She’s tough. She doesn’t back down.<\/i><\/p>\n

Trump responds to criticism with the petulance of verbal spit wads.'<\/i><\/p>\n

It has been remarkable the number of long-time media voices for conservatism that have thrown their support behind Clinton.

As with most politics, Clinton's position on a single-axis conservative\/liberal line varies depending on the particular issue in play. She is further to the right than I'd prefer, but not so far and in so many things that I can't find her a satisfactory candidate — and the dangers her opponent brings with him seals the deal for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
