My theory is that they wanted to endorse Carper so they cobbled something together. How else can you explain this confused endorsement? The paper claims that we need a fighter to take on Trump, and that fighter is… Tom Carper? Really? A man, they point out, whose key strength is his eagerness to compromise and collaborate with Republicans. A man whose obsequious collaboration with Republicans set the stage for the situation we are in now? What?
Seriously. WTF News Journal editorial board?
