Since The Arizona Republic began publication in 1890, we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never. This reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles.
This year is different.
The 2016 Republican candidate is not conservative and he is not qualified.
That’s why, for the first time in our history, The Arizona Republic will support a Democrat for president.
Trump's tactic of late has been to accuse Hllary of a lack of stamina. And therefore not suited for the Presidency. If anyone ran out of gas tonight it was Trump. As his energy waned he rambled and became more incoherent.

Meg Whitman, the president and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a onetime California gubernatorial candidate, and prominent GOP fundraiser, is supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
"I will vote for Hillary, I will talk to my Republican friends about helping her, and I will donate to her campaign and try to raise money for her," she told The New York Times. Whitman said she does not agree with Clinton on every issue, but it's time for Republicans to "put country first before party."
America's first cultural ambassador, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, joked Donald Trump couldn't tell the difference between he and Michael Jordan (because both are black, bald, and former pro basketball players). This moment is from Abdul-Jabbar's speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
