- The Richmond Times-Dispatch in Virginia endorsed Gary Johnson for president, saying, “Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton meets the fundamental moral and professional standards we have every right to expect of an American president. Fortunately, there is a reasonable — and formidable — alternative. … [Gary Johnson] possesses substantial executive experience in both the private and the public sectors.” The paper also called him “a man of good integrity, apparently normal ego and sound ideas.” The endorsement is Johnson’s first from a major newspaper in 2016. The Richmond Times-Dispatch endorsed Republican candidates in every presidential election between 2000 and 2012.
