The
Chicago Tribune endorsed Libertarian presidential candidate Gary
Johnson on Friday as a “principled option” beyond the typical red-blue
binary.
The
conservative paper’s editorial board argued that the Democratic and
Republican parties have drifted so far from the United States’ political
mainstream and failed to nominate suitable candidates to the top of
their tickets.
The
paper’s editorial is as much an indictment of Democrat Hillary Clinton
and Republican Donald Trump as it is an endorsement of former New Mexico
Gov. Johnson.
“We
reject the cliché that a citizen who chooses a principled third-party
candidate is squandering his or her vote. Look at the number of fed-up
Americans telling pollsters they clamor for alternatives to Trump and
Clinton,” the board wrote.
This
recommendation follows a growing trend among right-leaning or moderate
newspapers — which don’t like Trump but generally cannot bring
themselves to support Clinton — to urge their readers to vote for
Johnson.
