Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Sunday, September 25. Also, check out the ad by NextGen Climate Action about Gary Johnson’s, uh, head-scratching comments about climate change.
- NY Times: Hillary Clinton for President (“Our endorsement is rooted in respect for her intellect, experience and courage.”)
- Obama: African-American museum helps tell fuller story of America
- A Few Thoughts on the Debate (“The challenge for Trump is twofold. First, it’s difficult to really shake things up with what is by definition a low energy strategy. Second, Trump’s inability to answer basic questions about his policy proposals will almost certainly bring out his aggressive and erratic side. At the end of the day it is quite difficult to be other than the people we are. Absent a teleprompter, Trump has shown no ability in eighteen months to be anybody but himself in public. These basic realities are key to bear in mind.”)
- POLITICO-Harvard poll: Amid Trump’s rise, GOP voters turn sharply away from free trade
- Trump’s week reveals bleak view, dubious statements

Remember, this editorial board also endorsed the bizarre, clueless, sticks-his-tongue-out-while-speaking-during-interviews, the-earth-will-burn-up-in-a-few-billion-years-so-screw-global-warming Gary Johnson.)
