Donald Trump is in Orlando to announce the kickoff of his re-election campaign. We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump. Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent. Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump. After 2½ years we’ve seen enough.
And I'm supposed to care about your endorsement because.......?

If I could, I'd make sure everyone who's at PDT's rally in Orlando is informed that The Orlando Sentinel is a partisan Left rag, and to cancel their subscription to it. It sure seems like almost everyone in Orlando is at the rally.

"We've seen enough"? Really? The rest is a laundry list of talking points obviously read aloud to them because their eyes have been shut tight.
Today Orlando is the host venue for the President's 2020 launch. Orlando has chosen this day to dump its brainless NeverTrump bile. I'd like to know what brilliant business planner for the paper made that decision.
I'd suggest they keep their resume handy for the next round of downsizing

They would endorse Romney or Kasich? Enough said. I will take Trump with all his imperfections against the socialist communist leaning nut jobs running.

A very dishonest account--ironic, since it complains about "lies." Most of those "lies" are either opinion or something that might be true--for example, the effect of illegal voting on the popular vote. Who can verify that one way or another? Also, that the stock market was up 56% under Obama. Yeah, from the 2007 crash but nowhere near its previous heights. The markets now are at an all time high. Why wasn't that mentioned? And excusing the wasteful "stimulus" under Obama that did absolutely nothing to stimulate the economy, which remained stagnant for all 8 years of O's administration. And the worst lie of all--that they are open to supporting Republican candidates, which is belied by their support for John Kerry over Bush in 2004. 2004 was before Bush lost his base. No "neutral" news outlet would have chosen Kerry over Bush at that point.

How about you endorse all 24 Dems. They can split the term into 2 months apiece. Non concurrently.

This is exactly why I stopped subscribing. When they called to ask me why, I told them they were a liberal rag and that the only reason to read their newspaper was so I would know who not to vote for (their endorsements).

The O.S. will make perfect bird cage lining and great wrappings for after I clean my fish. Plus if you tear it up in nice strips, it really helps light my charcoal to BBQ them on.

This newspaper also endorsed Andrew Gillum for Governor, and Bill Nelson for Senator. Mickey Mouse was not surprised, but he WAS enraged.

After three paragraphs of favorable comparison of the false prophet in terms of the S&P 500, unemployment, the GDP, and deficit spending we get this:
As recently as 2012 we recommended Republican Mitt Romney because of what seemed at the time to be Obama's failure to adequately manage the nation's finances.
LBJ, the Frenchman, romney, and never Trump. What a bunch of dolts!

The more hysterical and irrational the left gets over President Trump the more convinced I am of how disruptive and revolutionary he really is. He is a man with a vision and the conviction to lay it all out and let his enemies be damned. He may ultimately not achieve all his goals but no one can deny his commitment, both personal and public, to leaving it all on the field and letting history be his judge. He is not polished or a great orator of tired platitudes but a pragmatist who prepared for 30 years for the battles he knew he would have to fight every minute of his presidency. He is the Randle McMurphy of American politics raging against the Nurse Ratchets of political convention and carefully controlled photo-op fakery. The jury is still out regarding his ultimate success with the economy, trade policy, illegal immigration, denuclearization of North Korea and Iran, and other MAGA promises but no editor or pundit can deny he is by far the only real leader in the Presidential race regardless of party.

Besides being a run-of-the-mill liberal paper, I suspect the Sentinel is hoping to please the areas two biggest employers: Disney and Universal. The two are far left liberal especially when it comes to LGBTQ issues. I expect most of the employees, even in FL, support their positions or at least toe the line.

Darn. What happens when you lose the Orlando Sentinel? (I'm betting they didn't endorse him in 2016, either.)
In 2016, if the race had been between Hillary Clinton and the Devil Incarnate, I would have been spending a significant amount of time studying Satan's position on the issues before pulling the voting lever.

Simply ... wow. What the editorial staff at the Sentinal deems as "lies", the majority of Americans value as honest observations. President Trump calls it as most of us see it. Thank God "we the people" finally have a mouthpiece.

Some track record:
Except for Lyndon Johnson in 1964, the Sentinel backed Republican presidential nominees from 1952 through 2004, when we recommended John Kerry over another four years of George W. Bush.
And they’d consider Romney or Kasich if they primaried PDJT.
I remember now how much I hated Orlando and why.

Here is what they said in their "ringing" endorsement of MItt Romney in 2012:
--Romney is not our ideal candidate for president. We've been turned off by his appeals to social conservatives and immigration extremists. Like most presidential hopefuls, including Obama four years ago, Romney faces a steep learning curve on foreign policy.--
They also slammed O on the stagnant economy. But that was then...

They really, really, REALLY hate Trump. OK, with 90+% negative reporting, we kinda know that.
We have no use for the Leftist media either and fortunately their power is fading fast.

Are any print newspapers actually worth the death of a tree anymore? Our local (which actually isn't run locally anymore) isn't worth using for the puppy.
