Okay, Now I’m Impressed. Update: No, I Am Not
Update: I got punked. This is from Midland, Michigan, not Midland, Texas. Damn. I should have known. Sorry, Guys.
Y’all, the newspaper in Midland Damn Texas, endorsed Hillary Clinton.
It wasn’t easy for them being as how they are located in the deep heart of Ted Cruz, but they grew a pair and endorsed Hillary. It wasn’t an enthusiastic endorsement …
In choosing Clinton, we recognize the historic nature of her candidacy — an opportunity to break a centuries-old barrier and become the first woman to be president since the founding of our nation. But we also recognize that in terms of governmental philosophy, there is not much that we agree on. So our support for Clinton comes with a caveat: we do so holding fast to Paul Ryan’s goal of ensuring Clinton doesn’t receive a “blank check” once in office because Republicans maintain control of both Houses of Congress.
… but it was an endorsement nonetheless. We’ll take it.
Midland Damn Texas, y’all.
Reminds me of Hair Drumpf’s “apology” after release of the sex tapes.
1Please God she gets the Senate too.
2OMG— Coast Guard sends icebreaker to hell. What next, more money for schools?
3Ain’t nothing like a Dem in the WH to make wingnuts fiscally conservative again.
4@ epo:
And to get wingnuts to declare, “SCOTUS? We don’t need no stinkin’ SCOTUS!”
Gotta love how they swear by the Constitution — right up till a Democrat gets into office. Then they start swearing at it.
5In other words, she can be president, but we’ll run the country (into the ground), thank you very much, while she runs into the kitchen to make us a sammich.
6Translation: While sitting on the fence, we endorse Hillary Clinton for Figurehead.
7There were other more graceful ways to say that, like
8“…since the founding of our nation.” “And the election of Donald J Trump would destroy the universe as we know it.”
AKLynne, if they go on past performance, it’s more like, “She can be President but we’ll make sure she can’t do a damn thing for four years, and if she uses executive actions to try to fix the problems we’re ignoring, we’ll scream the place down.”

(From your lips to God’s ear,s Oliver.)
10Oops, that comma jumped to the left. (Watching Rocky Horror Picture Show, no doubt.)
11This ranks with the “sorriest” apology in history – namely, a political one. Them kind are also accepted. It sounds as if the writer spent a lot of time curled into a fetal position sucking his thumb before and after writing this!
12It’s no small thing that a Midland, Michigan newspaper refused to endorse the Republican candidate. It’s a mostly Republican city, and Michigan Republicans defend their own even when Republican policies result in really bad publicity, like from poisoning a city’s water supply.
