https://www.yahoo.com/news/dallas-morning-news-trump-not-republican-editorial-145210750.html Texas has voted Republican in the last nine presidential elections. But if the Dallas Morning News has its way, the state won’t turn red for Donald Trump. “Donald Trump is not qualified to serve as president and does not deserve your vote,” the newspaper said in a scathing editorial published on Tuesday, ripping the GOP nominee as an “impulsive” bully and isolationist whose shifting positions on the economy and national security should frighten conservatives in the Longhorn State. “Trump is — or has been — at odds with nearly every GOP ideal this newspaper holds dear,” the editorial said. “Donald Trump is no Republican and certainly no conservative.” The real estate mogul’s proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, the paper said, is part of an “authoritarian streak that should horrify limited-government advocates.” Equally troubling, Trump favors “sound bites over sound policy,” the paper argued: Trump pledges to make our military “so big, so powerful, so strong that nobody — absolutely nobody — is going to mess with us.” But what does he want to do with that military? He says he supports killing the families of Muslim terrorists and allowing interrogation methods “a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.” And if the military balks at obeying such orders? “If I say do it, they’re gonna do it,” he says. It’s not easy to offer a shorthand list of such tenets, since Trump flips from one side to the other, issue after issue, sometimes within a single news cycle. Regardless, his ideas are so far from Republicanism that they have spawned a new description: Trumpism. “We have no interest in a Republican nominee for whom all principles are negotiable,” the paper added, “nor in a Republican Party that is willing to trade away principle for pursuit of electoral victory.” According to Real Clear Politics’ average of the latest polling data, Trump currently holds an 8-point advantage over Hillary Clinton in Texas, a state that hasn’t voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since 1976. And the Morning News, which endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the Republican primary, stopped short of endorsing Clinton. But James Glassman, who served as the under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs in the George W. Bush administration, is urging fellow Republicans appalled by Trump to vote for Clinton. “I have voted for every Republican nominee for president since 1980, but I will not this time,” Glassman wrote in an op-ed for the New York Times. “Mr. Trump’s appalling temperament renders him unfit to be president, and his grotesque policy formulations mock the principles of liberty and respect for the individual that have been the foundation of the Republican Party since Abraham Lincoln.” “This is, whether we like it or not, an election between Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton,” Glassman added. “And that means that if you want to stop Mr. Trump, you have no choice but to vote for Mrs. Clinton. There’s no sitting this one out.”
Dallas morning newspaper ENDORSES Democrat for President for the first time in 75 years. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...clinton_us_57d01768e4b0a48094a6ae8f?section=&
The fact that Trump is only leading in single digits in Texas should be concerning for republicans. Hillary is ahead in NY and CA by 20 and 22.How hard is it to get to 270 if Texas turns blue?
Stark... If you are "anti-Trump", then you must favor Hillary. That's enough for me to recognize, that as an "anti-American", Commie Leftist, you have nothing to say worth paying attention to. ON IGNORE!!
I used to live in Texas. Not in Dallas but in San Antonio. Short time. My sister still lives there. People in Texas are representative of nobody but Texans. I liked it there. Wide open. Constant fear of drought. I fished catfish for my dinner, shot quail in the cornfields with a single barrel 12 gauge and ate them barbequed with the home grown corn. Otherwise lived mostly on black-eyed peas. It's where I learned to shoot and where I got into the habit of carrying a gun. To a Texan New York was a foreign country. France was someplace my Granddaddy fought in the 40's. The UN had no known function. In those days Mexkins were lower than dirt . If you went into town and a Mexkin dissed you (like getting in your way on the sidewalk) you would shoot him and no body would complain. All shootings of Mexkins by white people were considered self defense. Then I went back east to go to a Jesuit College and became someone else entirely. I have news for Fox News: There ARE no liberal newspapers in Texas. Their circulation would be zero.
Most people are unaware that Texas was its own sovereign nation when it joined the USA. Hence while in Texas you will see the Texas flag flying at the same height, same size as the Stars and Stripes. The Urban myth fanatics will be quick to point out that it's not in the official flag code, no specific considerations given, but it's fact to native Texans and they display the Lone Star proudly. The State and its People are unique.
