The following lists are lifted from Wikipedia.org, which tracks endorsements for both candidates. Some of these will be quite interesting. We wish to concentrate here on external (international) endorsements, those of organized unions, a. However, we will note exceptions for both sides. As noted in the subheading, the Trump list includes a substantial list of […]
The Environmentalist by Nancy Ohanian The NY Times reported late yesterday that Señor T's "withdrawal from the second presidential debate led to the event’s cancellation.
