"Since The Arizona Republic began publication in 1890, we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never.…The challenges the United States faces domestically and internationally demand a steady hand, a cool head and the ability to think carefully before acting.
Hillary Clinton understands this. Donald Trump does not. Clinton has the temperament and experience to be president. Donald Trump does not."

Supreme Court Nominees Considered During Election Years
Since 1900, the Senate has voted on eight Supreme Court nominees during an election year. The most recent Justice to be confirmed in an election year was Justice Kennedy -- appointed by President Reagan -- who was confirmed by a Democratic-controlled Congress in February of 1988.
The Senate has never taken more than 125 days to vote on a successor from the time of nomination. On average, a nominee has been confirmed, rejected or withdrawn within 25 days. When Justice Antonin Scalia died, 342 days remained in President Obama’s term.

Government spending increased by 88% under President Bush.
Which is the party of big spenders?!
Which is the party of big spenders?!
President Bush left a budget deficit of $1.4 trillion.
President Obama has reduced the budget deficit every year he has been in office.
The US government posted a $55 billion budget surplus in January 2016,
up from an $18 billion deficit in the same month a year ago,
reducing the overall budget deficit yet again from $194 billion to $160 billion.

Look at what happened to jobs under the policies of Bush and the Republicans...
We were losing thousands of jobs every month, and it was getting worse and worse.
The Obama administration's stimulus worked.
We went from losing 850,000 jobs a month to gaining over 200,000 jobs a month.
The U.S. economy recovered under President Obama.

Founded in Chicago in 1901, Walgreen is the largest drugstore chain in the United States. It is now is on the verge of moving its corporate headquarters to Switzerland as part of a merger with Alliance Boots, the European drugstore chain. “Walgreen’s morph into a Swiss corporation will cost you and me and every other American taxpayer about $4 billion over five years, according to an analysis by Americans for Tax Fairness. The tax dodge likewise means more money for Walgreen’s investors and top executives. Which is why its large investors – including Goldman Sachs — have been pushing for it.”

What did the GOP do?
“...So when you hear a false equivalence that somehow, well, Congress is just broken, it’s not true. What’s broken right now is a Republican Party that repeatedly says no to proven, time-tested strategies to grow the economy, create more jobs, ensure fairness, open up opportunity to all people.” [May 22, 2014]
