I mean, they had like 75,000 readers not so long ago. when you have mr. loeb running it. he was amazing. and now they re down to around what, 10,000 and heading south. i don t think they ll be personally i don t think they re going to be in business much longer. [ inaudible ]. the useless leader. that s right. not the union leader. the useless leader. republican presidential front-runner donald trump has just been on the war path against the biggest paper in new hampshire, the new hampshire union leader. and maybe that is because the union leader endorsed chris christie over mr. trump? more likely it s because in so doing the paper denounced mr. trump as a left-wing caricature of a right-wing know-nothing. the paper has also called mr. trump an insult to the intelligence of republican voters. they ve called him a crude blowhard who is unqualified and unsuited for the job he seeks
Voters. they ve called him a crude blowhard who is unqualified and unsuited for the job he seeks and who s running an insulting and sophomoric campaign. that s pretty blunt language from the union leader. but that s also exactly what the union leader does to everybody. the union leader s the paper that called george w. bush junior bush. in 2012 the union leader called mitt romney a disaster. just a couple of weeks ago the union leader editorialized that there s something creepy about ted cruz. that s one of their editorials. here s how joe mcquaid, publisher of the union leader, explained in the 2012 race how he came to his decision that year that he would endorse newt gingrich. he started off by telling the daily beast that he had had several conversations with the candidate jon huntsman. i like to talk to people, but it seemed like he was listening much more to what he was saying than listening to what other people have to say. he was pretty full of himself. the daily

the editorial board of new hampshire s top newspaper left very little to the imagination with regard to how they feel about donald trump. and trump shock blasted right back at a rally last night. it began with the union-leader publishing this front page editorial saying trump insults voters intelligence. the publisher compared trump to bif from back to the future. trump has shown himself to be a crude blowhard with no clear political philosophy and no deeper understanding of the important and serious role of president of the united states than one of the goons he let s rough up protester in his crowds. trump compared to it the iowa register. between that and the union-leader which i think might be worse, okay, what a pile of garbage. we had an interesting thing. because you have a very dishonest newspaper up here. also failing newspaper. it s going down the tubers.
