Instead, we\u2019ve expressed opinions about the major issues and haven\u2019t presumed to tell our readers, who have a variety of priorities and values, which choice is best for them. Because every presidential race is different, we revisit our no-endorsement policy every four years. We\u2019ve never seen reason to alter our approach. Until now.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the choice isn\u2019t between two capable major party nominees who happen to have significant ideological differences. This year, one of the candidates \u2014 Republican nominee Donald Trump \u2014 is, by unanimous consensus of the Editorial Board, unfit for the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>From the day he declared his candidacy 15 months ago through this week\u2019s first presidential debate, Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents.<\/p>\n<p>Whether through indifference or ignorance, Trump has betrayed fundamental commitments made by all presidents since the end of World War II. These commitments include unwavering support for NATO allies, steadfast opposition to Russian aggression, and the absolute certainty that the United States will make good on its debts. He has expressed troubling admiration for authoritarian leaders and scant regard for constitutional protections.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been highly critical of the GOP nominee in a number of previous editorials. With early voting already underway in several states and polls showing a close race, now is the time to spell out, in one place, the reasons Trump should not be president:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21181 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Trump-Make-America-Great-Again-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"Trump Make America Great Again\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" \/>He is erratic. Trump has been on so many sides of so many issues that attempting to assess his policy positions is like shooting at a moving target. A list prepared by NBC details 124 shifts by Trump on 20 major issues since shortly before he entered the race. He simply spouts slogans and outcomes (he\u2019d replace Obamacare with \u201csomething terrific\u201d) without any credible explanations of how he\u2019d achieve them.<\/p>\n<p>He is ill-equipped to be commander in chief. Trump\u2019s foreign policy pronouncements typically range from uninformed to incoherent. It\u2019s not just Democrats who say this. Scores of Republican national security leaders have signed an extraordinary open letter calling Trump\u2019s foreign policy vision \u201cwildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle.\u201d In a Wall Street Journal column this month, Robert Gates, the highly respected former Defense secretary who served presidents of both parties over a half-century, described Trump as \u201cbeyond repair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He traffics in prejudice. From the very beginning, Trump has built his campaign on appeals to bigotry and xenophobia, whipping up resentment against Mexicans, Muslims and migrants. His proposals for mass deportations and religious tests are unworkable and contrary to America\u2019s ideals.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has stirred racist sentiments in ways that can\u2019t be erased by his belated and clumsy outreach to African Americans. His attacks on an Indiana-born federal judge of Mexican heritage fit \u201cthe textbook definition of a racist comment,\u201d according to House Speaker Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking elected official in the Republican Party. And for five years, Trump fanned the absurd \u201cbirther\u201d movement that falsely questioned the legitimacy of the nation\u2019s first black president.<\/p>\n<p>His business career is checkered. Trump has built his candidacy on his achievements as a real estate developer and entrepreneur. It\u2019s a shaky scaffold, starting with a 1973 Justice Department suit against Trump and his father for systematically discriminating against blacks in housing rentals. (The Trumps fought the suit but later settled on terms that were viewed as a government victory.) Trump\u2019s companies have had some spectacular financial successes, but this track record is marred by six bankruptcy filings, apparent misuse of the family\u2019s charitable foundation, and allegations by Trump University customers of fraud. A series of investigative articles published by the USA TODAY Network found that Trump has been involved in thousands of lawsuits over the past three decades, including at least 60 that involved small businesses and contract employees who said they were stiffed. So much for being a champion of the little guy.<\/p>\n<p>He isn\u2019t leveling with the American people. Is Trump as rich as he says? No one knows, in part because, alone among major party presidential candidates for the past four decades, he refuses to release his tax returns. Nor do we know whether he has paid his fair share of taxes, or the extent of his foreign financial entanglements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15698 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/HILLARY-CLINTON-e1442607667914-300x256.jpg\" alt=\"Hillary Rodham Clinton Signs Copies Of Her Book 'Hard Choices' In New York\" width=\"300\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/HILLARY-CLINTON-e1442607667914-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/HILLARY-CLINTON-e1442607667914-1024x872.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/HILLARY-CLINTON-e1442607667914.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>He speaks recklessly. In the days after the Republican convention, Trump invited Russian hackers to interfere with an American election by releasing Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails, and he raised the prospect of \u201cSecond Amendment people\u201d preventing the Democratic nominee from appointing liberal justices. It\u2019s hard to imagine two more irresponsible statements from one presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>He has coarsened the national dialogue. Did you ever imagine that a presidential candidate would discuss the size of his genitalia during a nationally televised Republican debate? Neither did we. Did you ever imagine a presidential candidate, one who avoided service in the military, would criticize Gold Star parents who lost a son in Iraq? Neither did we. Did you ever imagine you\u2019d see a presidential candidate mock a disabled reporter? Neither did we. Trump\u2019s inability or unwillingness to ignore criticism raises the specter of a president who, like Richard Nixon, would create enemies\u2019 lists and be consumed with getting even with his critics.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a serial liar. Although polls show that Clinton is considered less honest and trustworthy than Trump, it\u2019s not even a close contest. Trump is in a league of his own when it comes to the quality and quantity of his misstatements. When confronted with a falsehood, such as his assertion that he was always against the Iraq War, Trump\u2019s reaction is to use the Big Lie technique of repeating it so often that people begin to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>We are not unmindful of the issues that Trump\u2019s campaign has exploited: the disappearance of working-class jobs; excessive political correctness; the direction of the Supreme Court; urban unrest and street violence; the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group; gridlock in Washington and the influence of moneyed interests. All are legitimate sources of concern.<\/p>\n<p>Nor does this editorial represent unqualified support for Hillary Clinton, who has her own flaws (though hers are far less likely to threaten national security or lead to a constitutional crisis). The Editorial Board does not have a consensus for a Clinton endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>Some of us look at her command of the issues, resilience and long record of public service \u2014 as first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of State \u2014 and believe she\u2019d serve the nation ably as its president.<\/p>\n<p>Other board members have serious reservations about Clinton\u2019s sense of entitlement, her lack of candor and her extreme carelessness in handling classified information.<\/p>\n<p>Where does that leave us? Our bottom-line advice for voters is this: Stay true to your convictions. That might mean a vote for Clinton, the most plausible alternative to keep Trump out of the White House. Or it might mean a third-party candidate. Or a write-in. Or a focus on down-ballot candidates who will serve the nation honestly, try to heal its divisions, and work to solve its problems.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do, however, resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Editorial Board has never taken sides in the presidential race.
