Within a few days, the Obama administration will be able to confirm its successor with the 2016 United States Presidential Elections coming full circle, but the support is never too late as The Economist publishes their support for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the latest edition of their publication.
The Economist endorses Clinton with a cover of their Nov. 5 edition depicting a hand with crossed fingers, with the face of Clinton sketched on the surfacing finger. The cover title of the magazine writes, America's best hope, aptly expressing their support for the candidate. The Economist posts online that the choice is not hard.
This will not be the first time that the Europe-focused current affairs publication supports a presidential candidate. In fact, the support for presidential candidate Clinton would be the eight time The Economist publishes their endorsement, with the first starting back in the 1980's with a recommendation to vote for Ronald Reagan for the 40th president of the United States.
The publication also gives its insights on their support, claiming that the choice was made easier due to the alternative, presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump.
The Economist was not known to sugarcoat, and it was evident in the writing of the article on their support for Clinton that they do not plan to change their style anytime soon. Without diving into detail, the article writes that Trump would be a terrible president for the US, saying that the events in the presidential campaign for the past months showed evidence on Trump's character and temperament as unsuited for a leader of the democratic world and would also consequently be in control of the most powerful military force in the world.
This was laid out in contrast to Clinton, who was illustrated as revolutionary, despite a few number of ideas that can be disagreeable.
