One of the Biggest Texas Newspapers Endorses Clinton
by Elias Atienza
The Dallas Morning News editorial board endorsed Hillary Clinton this morning. The newspaper endorsement will look to boost Clinton in Texas, where she was recently shown to be leading Donald Trump.
Said the Dallas Morning News:
Trump’s values are hostile to conservatism. He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control.
After nearly four decades in the public spotlight, 25 of them on the national stage, Clinton is a known quantity. For all her warts, she is the candidate more likely to keep our nation safe, to protect American ideals and to work across the aisle to uphold the vital domestic institutions that rely on a competent, experienced president.
Hillary Clinton has spent years in the trenches doing the hard work needed to prepare herself to lead our nation. In this race, at this time, she deserves your vote.
The Dallas Morning News also released a scathing editorial on Donald Trump yesterday, saying that he is “no Republican and certainly no conservative.” The paper has endorsed every single Republican candidate since Nixon in 1968, and has not endorsed a Democrat in more than 75 years and 20 elections.
The Dallas Morning News has a circulation of 410,000 on an average weekday and 710,000 on Sundays, making it among the top subscribed newspapers in the United States.
