Foreign Policy Magazine has
never endorsed a presidential candidate. The dramatic contrast between
the 2016 major party candidates has impelled the editors to break
tradition. H/T to our pal "sam" for sharing this one.
In the nearly half-century history of Foreign Policy,
the editors of this publication have never endorsed a candidate for
political office. We cherish and fiercely protect this publication’s
independence and its reputation for objectivity, and we deeply value our
relationship with all of our readers, regardless of political
orientation.
It is for all these reasons that FP’s editors are now breaking with tradition to endorse Hillary Clinton for the next president of the United States.
Our readers depend on FP
for insight and analysis into issues of national security and foreign
policy. We feel that our obligation to our readers thus extends now to
making clear the great magnitude of the threat that a Donald Trump
presidency would pose to the United States. The dangers Trump presents
as president stretch beyond the United States to the international economy, to global security, to America’s allies, as well as to countless innocents everywhere who would be the victims of his inexperience, his perverse policy views, and the profound unsuitability of his temperament for the office he seeks.
The
litany of reasons Trump poses such a threat is so long that it is, in
fact, shocking that he is a major party’s candidate for the presidency.
The recent furor over his vile behavior with women
illustrates the extraordinary nature of his unsuitability, as does his
repudiation by so many members of his own party — who have so many
reasons to reflexively support their nominee.

is very familiar with Hillary Clinton's qualification having published
about her regularly during her tenure at the State Department.
