Diarist's conception of Idaho Statesman editorial board member

They wanted to get it out of the way first. “The Idaho Statesman is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.”

They recognize that you, Idaho Statesman reader, are unlikely to agree with their choice, but they ask that you consider their reasoning before critiquing their conclusion. Consider their reasoning:

Even though Donald Trump won the Republican nomination fair and square, his checkered past, vague policies and divisive statements have never convinced us that he is, indeed, a Republican.

Huh. Not convinced. I think their issue is less one of needing convincing and more one of denying reality. Not a Republican? He is the epitome, the essence, the embodiment, the archetype Republican. Dear Idaho Statesman editorial board, you got it backwards; I love your conclusion, but your reasoning reeks of Mustela.
