Will either of these two stories make tomorrow’s Wheeling Intelligencer?
6/25 answer: NO
Trump wants to end due process for undocumented immigrants
From the Washington Post:
President Trump on Sunday explicitly advocated for depriving undocumented immigrants of their due-process rights, arguing that people who cross the border into the United States illegally were invaders and must immediately be deported without trial or an appearance before a judge.
He tweeted:
We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents...

George Will tells us to “Vote Against the GOP This November”
Conservative columnist, George F. Will, is a Monday morning fixture in the Wheeling Intelligencer. This past week with some fanfare, Will broke with the Republican Party that supports President Trump. His latest column is titled:
Vote against the GOP this November
Here is a sample:
Ryan and many other Republicans have become the president’s poodles, not because James Madison’s system has failed but because today’s abject careerists have failed to be worthy of it.
and:
In today’s GOP, which is the president’s plaything, he is the mainstream. So, to vote against his party’s cowering congressional caucuses is to affirm the nation’s honor while quarantining him.
An influential conservative columnist has abandoned Donald Trump and the Republicans. Will the Intelligencer publish his reasons?
6/25 Update
The morning Wheeling Intelligencer has very little coverage of the President and no coverage of his wanting to end due process for undocumented immigrants. A quick check of the top of the front page at other newspapers:
The New York Times: Trump Wants No Due Process at U.S. Border
The Washington Post: Trump opposes trials for migrants
USA Today: Trump: Bypass court process**
The Intelligencer did publish a George Will column but it was on Charles Krauthammer.
