Your "Where is Hillary" editorial was oddly disconcerting to me.
The
idea that Toledoans should not vote for Clinton unless she comes to
Toledo and hears their concerns is silly. Do you think people are unable
to make up their minds without seeing the candidate in person? Besides,
Toledo's "concerns" are primarily local and state issues, not issues
which a president needs to be preoccupied with.
This
gets to the problem with the way The Blade covers the campaign. You
seem to think it is some big deal when a candidate comes into
northwestern Ohio, hence all the front page headlines about Trump's
campaign appearances, which you cover prominently whether or not Trump
actually made any real news at a campaign stop. It would be far better
to cover the campaign by highlighting the issues, something that would
actually be of help to voters.
Also,
Clinton does not need Ohio's electoral votes to win. The current map at
electoral-vote.com shows Clinton with 302 votes to Trump's 236, even
though Trump is ahead in Ohio. Trump, on the other hand, cannot win the
election without Ohio. Is it any wonder Trump is giving so much
attention to Ohio?
