In October 2016, the Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first major newspaper to endorse then-candidate Donald Trump for president. While Trump “represents neither the danger his critics claim nor the magic elixir many of his supporters crave,” the editorial page wrote, he promised to disrupt the status quo in Washington by bringing a “corporate sensibility and a steadfast determination to an ossified Beltway culture."
Four years later, the Review-Journal — owned by Trump supporter and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson — is advising Trump that he did indeed lose the 2020 presidential race and that he should start cooperating with Joe Biden’s transition team.
“President Donald Trump seeks to delay the inevitable,” reads the headline of the editorial, which appeared in print Thursday and published online Wednesday night. “It is too fitting that the Trump presidency concludes amid a babel of bluster and bravado,” the unbylined authors, representing the viewpoint of the paper’s management, wrote. “But the president does a disservice to his more rabid supporters by insisting that he would have won the Nov. 3 election absent voter fraud. That’s simply false.”

The editorial goes on to state that “there is no evidence” that fraud cost Trump the election, “no matter how much the president tweets the opposite and his supporters wish it so.”
Other newspapers have also run editorials demanding Trump stop peddling mass fraud claims without evidence, but the advice from the Review-Journal drew attention well beyond Las Vegas in part because of Adelson’s ownership of the newspaper.
The billionaire Las Vegas casino magnate, who stealthily bought the paper in December 2015, has been a steadfast Trump backer and the top Republican donor through the past two presidential election seasons. He and his wife, physician Miriam Adelson, poured $183 million into the 2020 cycle, including giving $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC in late August. But Politico reported in August that Trump had a contentious phone call with Sheldon Adelson, in which the president criticized the billionaire for not doing enough to help his reelection.
AD
Previously, the Trump White House had bestowed official accolades on the Adelsons, including the widely criticized move of giving Miriam Adelson a Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — citing her philanthropy and research in narcotics addiction.
This week’s Review-Journal editorial does sound a somewhat sympathetic tone to Trump, writing that his campaign is “within its rights” to ask for recounts and that Trump “faced an overtly hostile press” and an anti-Trump political establishment.
But then it offered a reality check: “Mr. Trump lost this election because he ultimately didn’t attract enough votes and failed to win a handful of swing states that broke his way in 2016.”
AD
“An electoral system that involves the participation of 150 million Americans will have its share of issues, but it’s an insult to reason and logic to argue that isolated irregularities constitute proof of a grand national conspiracy,” it continues. The editorial also noted one of the most obvious signs there wasn’t a national conspiracy to steal votes for Trump: Democrats underperformed in House races, and the Senate may very well remain in Republican control under Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
The editorial acknowledged Trump is unlikely to stop fighting the results, but “he has nothing to lose” by cooperating with President-elect Biden’s transition team, and the former vice president “deserves the same consideration” offered to Trump in 2016 by then-President Barack Obama.
While a handful of newspapers endorsed Trump in 2016 prior to the Review-Journal, the Nevada newspaper was the first with a circulation of over 100,000 to do so. It also endorsed Trump in 2020.
It’s unclear what role exactly Adelson played in this week’s editorial. (The newspaper’s publisher declined to comment). But a 2015 Review-Journal editorial explored how the editorial page could change after Adelson’s purchase, noting that the page has long had a libertarian/conservative tilt and presidential endorsements would probably not change.
“Newspaper owners aren’t supposed to interfere with news content. But it’s perfectly appropriate for them to seize full control of the editorial page and steer the philosophy of their editorial board,” it said. “The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s editorial page can become his family’s personal soap box, if that’s what they want.”

Meghan McCain is still a terrible person. Like most conservatives, doesn't care how her party hurts other people. Only gives a shit when it personally affects her life.

If Trump hadn't been so awful to her father, she'd be all aboard the Trump Train. I don't blame her for feeling how she does about him, but she's a relative away from being a Trumper.

For as much as we all romanticize John McCain now... he played a large part in turning the corner to Trumpism. Him agreeing to the Sarah Palin clown show normalized and main-streamed a lunatic fringe of the Republican party.
He was also a horrific war-hawk, the likes of which we have never seen.

I disagree. While the Palin pick was a mistake, he pushed back on the birth certificate nonsense publicly and directly. There's a reason Trump hated McCain and it wasn't because he was at the Hanoi Hilton. McCain very publicly rebuked Trump AND saved Obama care. Being a hawk didn't engender him to Trump either.

Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Review-Journal twice endorsed Trump. Now it’s advising him to admit he lost.
In October 2016, the Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first major newspaper to endorse then-candidate Donald Trump for president. While Trump “represents neither the danger his critics claim nor the magic elixir many of his supporters crave,” the editorial page wrote, he promised to disrupt the status quo in Washington by bringing a “corporate sensibility and a steadfast determination to an ossified Beltway culture."

That’s simply false.”
The editorial goes on to state that “there is no evidence” that fraud cost Trump the election, “no matter how much the president tweets the opposite and his supporters wish it so.”

Other newspapers have also run editorials demanding Trump stop peddling mass fraud claims without evidence, but the advice from the Review-Journal drew attention well beyond Las Vegas in part because of Adelson’s ownership of the newspaper.

The long love affair between Fox News and Trump may be over. Here’s how it all soured last week.
This week’s Review-Journal editorial does sound a somewhat sympathetic tone to Trump, writing that his campaign is “within its rights” to ask for recounts and that Trump “faced an overtly hostile press” and an anti-Trump political establishment.
But then it offered a reality check: “Mr. Trump lost this election because he ultimately didn’t attract enough votes and failed to win a handful of swing states that broke his way in 2016.”

The editorial also noted one of the most obvious signs there wasn’t a national conspiracy to steal votes for Trump: Democrats underperformed in House races, and the Senate may very well remain in Republican control under Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Fox News cuts away from Kayleigh McEnany news conference after she alleges vote fraud with no evidence
The editorial acknowledged Trump is unlikely to stop fighting the results, but “he has nothing to lose” by cooperating with President-elect Biden’s transition team, and the former vice president “deserves the same consideration” offered to Trump in 2016 by then-President Barack Obama.
The Review-Journal is the largest newspaper in Nevada, where the Trump campaign has claimed thousands voted improperly, while offering no credible evidence. Most news organizations projected on Saturday that Biden will win Nevada’s six electoral votes. As of Thursday, Biden leads Trump by more than 36,000 votes.
While a handful of newspapers endorsed Trump in 2016 prior to the Review-Journal, the Nevada newspaper was the first with a circulation of over 100,000 to do so. It also endorsed Trump in 2020.
