Texas Newspaper Endorses Hillary, First Democrat Since 1940’s –
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 office 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.
The Morning News took Trump to task for allegedly taking American voters down a dark and angry path.
“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,” the editorial board concluded.
The Dallas newspaper reminded Clinton that it’s got beefs with the Democratic Party’s “over-reliance on government and regulation to remedy the country’s ills.”
