Philadelphia Magazine gives first ever endorsement for President
Today, Philadelphia magazine endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. Check out some excerpts below and read the full article on PhillyMag.com.
“There’s only one choice in this election, and that’s Hillary Clinton for president.”
“Hillary Clinton for President: The Philadelphia Magazine Endorsement — The way we see it, there are only two choices in the November election. So we printed a cover for both.”
“This is the first time the editors of Philadelphia magazine have endorsed a presidential candidate. We’ve weighed in before on mayors, but the White House is out of our coverage area. Not this time, though. Not with the Democratic National Convention coming to town, and not with Donald Trump on the ballot.”
“In Trump, we’ve got a xenophobic, impulsive, sexist, racist, unqualified con man with a soft spot for fascism. At best, his election would give future historians a definitive consensus moment to cite as the beginning of the end of the great American Republic (Napoleon in Russia; the Visigoths sack Rome). At worst, a President Trump might just kill us all by jamming that red button with his very small fingers after Vladimir Putin hurts his feelings on Twitter. Treating Trump like he’s a candidate with ideas or a record worthy of rebuttal is simply degrading.”
“Her recent scornful takedowns of Trump have been both effective and true to herself. Her acceptance speech after she clinched the nomination and sidelined Sanders was a powerful reminder that there is, beneath all that Clinton machinery and infrastructure, not just an actual human being, but an exceptional one: a woman who is prodigiously talented, richly experienced, completely presidential and, yes, eminently likeable.”
“Welcome to Philly, Hillary. Go get him.”
