Dallas Morning News Endorses Hillary

[Rose Siding]

Editorial: We recommend Hillary Clinton for Democratic presidential nomination

It’s been 44 years since Hillary Clinton arrived in Texas as a firebrand feminist working to register Hispanics and others in South Texas to vote for a long-shot liberal senator running to unseat President Richard Nixon. George McGovern lost badly that year and Nixon engineered his own shameful exit two years later.

But Clinton? She’s been in the public eye ever since, and after a lifetime of remarkable service and unending controversy she’s back asking Texans to help make her the 2016 Democratic nominee for president.

Democrats should vote for her March 1. She’s a better choice than another long-shot liberal senator, her surging rival Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

A better choice not because he’s too liberal to win in November, though he is. She’s better because over her lifetime, Clinton has learned to temper her idealism without losing it. She’s learned to advance her agenda even when it means letting others advance too. She’s cultivated allies..........

11. That's for just the city of Dallas...

In comparison to the majority of population that lives in the suburbs that are very wealthy. I lived there I know. Lol

[WI_DEM]

12. I lived there too

You are trying too hard.

8. lol

10. Not trying to rain on your parade...

Just speaking from experience of living in the area!! Not many Democrats in the DFW area compared to Austin and San Antonio...

[WI_DEM]

13. Dallas County voted 57-41 percent for Obama in 2012

a complete reversal of the statewide margin which was 57-41 for Romney. Seems like there are enough Democrats

As of the 2010 census, the population was 2,368,139.[1] It is the second-most populous county in Texas and the ninth-most populous in the United States. Its county seat is Dallas,[2] which is also the third-largest city in Texas and the ninth-largest city in the United States.

Do you really think that getting endorsements only from newspapers in overwhelmingly Democratic areas is the only endorsements that count?

14. They're actually endorsing her because she's the much better candidate. If you had read the

article you would have gotten that.

[WI_DEM]

[Gothmog]

16. Texas will be a good state for Hillary Clinton

[pandr32]

17. Another endorsement! Yay!!!

[72DejaVu]

18. No, they endorsed Bernie!

"This is the year of the outsider, and Sanders’ focus on the future has enthralled many. "

Who wants to bet we see that line in a Sanders ad?

[UtahLib]
