CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 1, 2024
NEWSPAPER NON-ENDORSEMENTS HAVE MADE BIG NEWS THIS ELECTION SEASON. AND CONTROVERSY, TOO. WHO NEEDS THEM WHEN MUCH OF THE SO-CALLED REPORTING HAS BEEN COMING FROM THE LEFT. ANY READER KNOWS WHO THESE PAPERS FAVOR. I DON’T THINK THEY HAVE MUCH INFLUENCE ANYMORE AS THEIR CREDIBILITY IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, WHILE NOT ENDORSING ANYONE, NOTES IN AN EDITORIAL THAT A VICTORY BY KAMALA HARRIS WOULD MEAN AN OBAMA FOURTH TERM. “AT HOME SHE’S NO CENTRIST. ABROAD, SHE ALSO SEEMS UNPREPARED FOR THE DANGERS AHEAD”
THE JOURNAL IS NO LESS IMPRESSED BY DONALD TRUMP: “WE HAVE NO ILLUSIONS ABOUT MR. TRUMP’S FLAWS AND THE RISK THEY POSE. BUT VOTERS ALSO HAVE CAUSE TO FEAR THE BLOODY-MINDEDNESS OF THE MODERN LEFT, WITH ITS REGULATORY COERCION, CULTURAL IMPERIALISM, ECONOMIC STATISM, AND DESIRE TO STRIP JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE. IF MS. HARRIS LOSES, THIS WILL BE THE REASON.”
IN THE END IT IS ALL ABOUT POLICY, NOT PERSONALITY. BOTH FAIL THE PERSONALITY TEST, SO LOOK PAST THAT AND DECIDE WHICH POLICIES YOU WANT TO LIVE UNDER FOR FOUR MORE YEARS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
