Discussion: Dallas Morning News Endorses Dem Candidate For First Time Since WWII

Trump, the editorial board claimed, has played to voters’ xenophobia and racism, shifted on critical issues, and displayed “a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control” with his “improvisational insults and midnight tweets.”

Welcome back to sanity, Texas!

We missed ya…

First the Houston Chronicle, now the DMN? I don’t usually imbibe this early in the day, but think I’ll make an exception. The times in Texas, they are a’changing.

And some polling has Clinton within striking distance in Texas? I’m sorry, but did someone slip something into the water supply of the country or something?

“Unlike Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has experience in actual governance, a record of service and a willingness to delve into real policy,” the editorial board wrote.

“Resume vs. resume, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest,” they concluded.

“Hillary Clinton has spent years in the trenches doing the hard work needed to prepare herself to lead our nation,” the board wrote. “In this race, at this time, she deserves your vote.”

Well. You can’t put it much better. Thank you, Dallas Morning News!

Isn’t that the mission statement from the original GOP charter?

“Resume vs. resume, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest,” they concluded.

This is what the election ultimately boils down to. Clinton isn’t perfect, no one is, but she is wildly intelligent, thoroughly educated in every area of policy, calm, fair, steady hand at the wheel. Trump is objectively none of those things. This is a choice between Bill Gates or one of the deranged killers from an episode of Criminal Minds.

I don’t understand how this isn’t seen by everyone! I mean ok, Hillary has her faults, but so has every president since the first president. I’ve asked people to outline to me what is it that Bill & Hillary Clinton have done that is so much worse, so evil incarnate that it makes everything that just about every other legislator has done on capital hill pale in comparison? Nothing that’s what. They are playing on the exact same field as everyone else but they and most especially SHE is the Devil’s bride? We can compare and contrast all we want, the obvious responsible choice for the good of the nation & the world is Hillary Clinton no matter how you feel about her, period, end of discussion. Everything negative you can say about Hillary you can say about Dump, everything positive you can say about Hillary you CAN NOT say about Dump.

This won’t convince the diehards, but the suburban families who are on the fence will have something to think about. Don’t know if it will be enough to turn Texas blue, but it will make it close.
