Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson might lag far behind Donald Trump in the polls, but when it comes to major newspaper endorsements, Johnson has a leg up. On Friday, Johnson landed the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune, which dubbed him "agile, practical and, unlike the major-party candidates, experienced at managing governments." The editorial called Hillary Clinton "undeniably capable," but expressed concern about her "intent to greatly increase federal spending and taxation, and serious questions about honesty and trust." Trump, on the other hand, the newspaper deemed "not fit to be president."
While the Tribune's decision to endorse a third-party candidate is alone notable, what makes it even more noteworthy is that it puts Johnson yet another newspaper endorsement ahead of Trump. Johnson has also secured the support of The Detroit News, the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Winston-Salem Journal, and The Caledonian-Record.
Trump, meanwhile, has yet to land a single newspaper endorsement in the general election. During the primaries, however, he got the support of the Santa Barbara News-Press, the New York Observer, the New York Post, and the National Enquirer. -- Becca Stanek

What justifies the claim that Hillary Clinton is undeniably capable? In what position has she demonstrated undeniably capable leadership?

From now on, I'll be referring to her as Mrs. Bill Clinton. That's the only thing she has ever been capable at.
However, even though that's what I'll be calling her, it doesn't appear she has ever been very capable at that either by all appearances..

That's because media is LIBERAL. Of course a liberal slanted entity would favor a drug addict lover and faggot lover more than TRUMP.
SHITary has the most media endorsements... are we seeing a pattern? What's a "newspaper endorsement " really mean? DOH!

I could never knowingly vote for an open border candidate.
If hillary wins you can kiss Libertarian party good bye because people including illegal aliens have decided they want more government ie socialism/communism. Which means corrupt crony capitalism(socialism) will destroy all those that might harm it! So you better pray Trump wins even though you do not agree with him or like him!

[Hillary Clinton] “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.”
