An American who embraces the values that carried our country this far would not vote for Trump.




This certainly rule Clinton out right at the gate.

They have new management from the north. The local man got kicked to the golf course a couple of years ago. They traditionally endorse Republicans for POTUS.

Did anyone actually read this 'endorsement'? It reads like The Onion. About the only thing they neglected to say is "we couldn't endorse the First Woman before she was nominated". Funny stuff.

I just read here at C-D yesterday that the larger cities in TX were "blue" but that does not represent the majority. There are also some issues with that particular news source which I won't detail, but people aren't necessarily supportive of their "stand". In other words, I wouldn't get all excited about it meaning squat.

I can count those names with 2 hands,names that are meaningless....the majority of the Armed Service members are supporting Trump over Hillary by a 2 to 1 margin in all military polls. If Obama couldn;t get the military vote and he had high numbers on trust, Hillary will get less than Obama, especially because their record with the military, foreign policy and veterans affair disaster.


again, back to Texas, Texans love their guns and are PRO-Life folks and HILLARY is anti-second amendment and for abortions on demand , she has no shot in Texas.

Just out of curiosity, who have they endorsed the past 10 elections or so?

"HOUSTON — Voters here on Saturday kept the largest city in Texas in Democratic hands"

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/us...ayor.html?_r=0

I think Houston HAS been a dem city for quite a while.

Hilary will roll in the media/newspaper endorsements, and the Trumpettes will be very busy finding flimsy reasons to demonize and discredit them.
"Hilary will roll in the media/newspaper endorsements"

No surprise there considering MOST media is left biased to start with and are in left run cities.

Lightbulb The Houston Chronicle endorses Hillary Clinton

Doesn't matter.

Texas will go for Drumpf and it won't be close.
