Dallas Morning News: We recommend Hillary Clinton for U.S. president

[TexasTowelie]

There is only one serious candidate on the presidential ballot in November. We recommend Hillary Clinton.

We don't come to this decision easily. This newspaper has not recommended a Democrat for the nation's highest office since before World War II — if you're counting, that's more than 75 years and nearly 20 elections. The party's over-reliance on government and regulation to remedy the country's ills is at odds with our belief in private-sector ingenuity and innovation. Our values are more about individual liberty, free markets and a strong national defense.

We've been critical of Clinton's handling of certain issues in the past. But unlike Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has experience in actual governance, a record of service and a willingness to delve into real policy.

Resume vs. resume, judgment vs. judgment, this election is no contest.

1. I can't help you because I think I might pass out too! I knew they would not endorse Trump but

I thought they would surely endorse a third party candidate over Clinton.

3. At the very least, leave that space blank.

This is quite a boost.

2. I don't know that editorials have a lot of impact but....WOW

This is really something. One thing about editorials like this is that in red areas, it gives a little comfort or validation to those who are thinking about voting for Clinton.

A big thank-you to the Dallas Morning News. A principled position in an era of rampant election corruption coverage is as refreshing as fresh snow. In Dallas.

Let's do this! We can win

Just today I had one coworker ask another coworker which part of Mexico he's from. His answer was "I was born in Dallas Texas!"

Trump's people have no idea that US citizens can "look foreign".
