When considering their decision this year, the editorial board of the Enquirer said they didnt take breaking their tradition of endorsing GOP candidates lightly.
But this is not a traditional race, and these are not traditional times, they wrote.
The board called Clinton and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, the most unpopular pair of presidential candidates in American history.
Trump, despite all of his bluster about wanting to make America great again, has exploited and expanded our internal divisions, they wrote. Clintons arrogance and unwillingness to admit wrongdoing have made her a divisive and distrusted figure as well.
The board called Trump a clear and present danger to our country, citing his lack of foreign policy experience and exclusionary remarks about women and minorities as some of their fears about his candidacy.
"Hillary Clinton has her faults, certainly, but she has spent a lifetime working to improve the lives of Americans both inside and outside of Washington, they wrote. Its time to elect the first female U.S. president ― not because shes a woman, but because shes hands-down the most qualified choice.
