Every Christmas there is one debate that should never exist. At this time of the year, something which should never even have to be asked about not only is questioned, but extreme skepticism is cast on it.

I have a collection of letters and a book my great-grandfather wrote for his kids, detailing his move from Switzerland to the US. He described the ship passage, the trip through Ellis Island, and even his first breakfast in the US (fried chicken, because he pointed to a random item on the menu when he couldn’t read English.)
A lot of things have been said about this recent election. Much of it is true. A lot of it presents a simplistic, facile perspective of the situation in lieu of statistics too often overlooked.
But this election did confirm one thing. If a newspaper endorsement’s purpose is to influence the outcome of an election, they need a makeover.
