Texas newspaper endorses first Democrat for president in 75 years

The Dallas Morning News on Wednesday endorsed Hillary Clinton, backing a Democratic presidential hopeful for the first time since FDR.

“There is only one serious candidate on the presidential ballot in November: We recommend Hillary Clinton,” the paper’s editorial board declared.

“We don’t come to this decision easily. This newspaper has not recommended a Democrat for this nation’s highest since before World War II – if you’re counting, that’s more than 75 years and nearly 20 elections.”

The newspaper touted Clinton’s government experience and said she’s demonstrated an ability to work with Republicans.

“Resume vs. resume, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest,” the paper said of Clinton in comparison to GOP nominee Donald Trump.

This is the same paper that endorsed Wendy Davis. AKA Abortion Barbie, and she lost by 22%.

So, thanks Dallas Morning News !

The Dallas Morning News demonstrates its value is that of used toilet paper.

Is Dallas even in Texas anymore? They’re starting to sound like Austin.

The Dallas Morning News has always been a Liberal Rag. I don’t know much about their Presidential Endorsements, but if you read their editorials etc., it is and has been an obvious Liberal Newspaper.

Not surprising. This paper hates conservatives and American patriots. It would bulldoze the Shrine of Texas Liberty in the name of the PC gods.

Big cities like Dallas are dominated by corrupt liberals, even in otherwise Conservative states.

No matter. I hear DJT may be purchasing controlling interests in the world’s major newspaper ink manufacturers and distributors.

NeverTrumper DailyCompost is endorsing Hillary.

TX is still going Trump.

Doesn’t matter since people just plain hate the media.

Fort Worth Star Telegram this year refused to endorse anyone. First time since early 1960’s.

What in blazes is going on in Dallas?!?!

I expect this in NYC. Except for the Post, which will endorse Trump. Grudgingly.

Dallas is like my Oz. I imagine it perfect. Say it ain’t so.

Will LOVE to see their subscriber base shrink by at least 50%!

This is Ted Cruz influence in Texas. Fort Worth Star Telegram said Trump was not a conservative and did not know what he was and called him a Trumplican.

I hope Ted Cruz gets kicked out of office in two years.

judgment vs. judgment

Are you kidding me? How can they say this given Hillary's abominable and well known string of failures as Secretary of State? The Benghazi tradgedy, the Iran "deal", the Libyan chaos, etc. Her so-called "judgements" were a demonstrable disaster in every case.
