In deepest Oklahoma, something unusual just happened. When I say “unusual”, what I mean is a shift that is big enough to knock the planets out of alignment, and I am not talking here of just another 5+ magnitude frack-quake.
No, it is bigger than that even if, in the final analysis, it doesn’t much matter. The Enid News, normally a staunch supporter of even the reddest of red politicians, just published an editorial that is a ringing endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
Expect the usual blather in the comments of that organ, from the usual occupants of the shallow end of the gene pool.
But for now, let’s go with these quotes:
We have policy disagreements with Clinton, but she is competent and capable of handling the incredible responsibility of being our nation’s commander in chief and leader of the free world. She has a record of public service as a senator, secretary of state and first lady. She has the temperament and experience to be president.
… and this, about the sexual predator that is on the other ticket:
We cannot support Trump’s penchant for insulting people of a different race, religion or gender, including the 2005 recording of his lewd remarks about pushing himself on women and kissing and groping them. His lack of knowledge, reckless comments and outrageous statements, later brushed off as sarcasm, could become a serious threat to national security if he were to be commander in chief.
Bluntly, Donald Trump isn’t qualified to be president.
They threw a few bones to their regular readers but dang! Oklahoma!!
