4:36Now PlayingThe Richmond Times-Dispatch has decided to endorse Marco Rubio. The reason this is making news is because they normally don’t make endorsements in primaries, but are making an exception for Donald Trump. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Except in extraordinary circumstances, The Times-Dispatch refrains from making endorsements in nominating contests if the general election in November will be competitive. But these qualify as extraordinary times, at least in the realm of presidential politics. After considerable reflection, we have decided that standing on the sidelines as Virginians go to the polls Tuesday would be a dereliction of our duty — our duty to encourage civil public engagement as well as our duty to help readers sort through the confusion that inevitably accompanies a vibrant republic.
It is well known that this newspaper often — though not always — endorses Republicans. We do so again today, in part because we find the continuing ethical lapses of Hillary Clinton unacceptable and the economic proposals of Bernie Sanders absurd. In both cases, these fundamental flaws rise to levels that may render the candidates unsuited to the office of president.”*
