Both Clinton and Trump's college newspapers endorse . . . Hillary Clinton
College newspapers normally like to show off their successful alumni -- except if that alumnus is Donald Trump.
This week, Hillary Clinton picked up two notable endorsements, one from her alma mater, and one from Donald Trump's. It's no surprise that ultra-liberal liberal arts school Wellesley used their paper, The Wellesley News, toendorse Clinton. But it just added salt to Trump's wound that The Daily Pennsylvanian, the newspaper from The University of Pennsylvania, endorsed his opponent.

"This well-received protest speaks to the Penn community’s general consensus that Trump fails to represent the current Penn student body and its values," the paper wrote. "Penn students reflect a diverse, eclectic mix of interests and beliefs, but above all they seek to respect and understand these differences. Detaching ourselves from the candidate who shares our alma mater is both necessary and natural."
Over 3,800 Penn students recently signed a petition stating that, "You [Trump] don't represent us."
Additionally, on Oct. 11, a University of Pennsylvania student group called "We Are Watching," staged a feminist art protest to promote voter registration and separate themselves from the Trump campaign.

In a July 11 speech in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump flaunted his degree from the Wharton school of business.
"I went to the Wharton School of Finance … I’m, like, a really smart person," Trump said.
Trump has struggled to win endorsements this election cycle, even from such traditionally conservative outlets newspapers like The Arizona Republic, The Houston Chronicle, The Dallas Morning Newsand The San Diego Tribune.
Don't they want a really smart person?
