The Dallas Morning News was a conservative newspaper back in the 1980's, but it's gone downhill since then. No shock that it won't back Trump.
Dallas Morning News runs anti-Trump op ed, breaking GOP endorsement streak - CNNPolitics.com
And without mentioning Trump's rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, the paper made clear it would not be getting behind Trump's movement.
"We have no interest in a Republican nominee for whom all principles are negotiable, nor in a Republican Party that is willing to trade away principle for pursuit of electoral victory. Trump doesn't reflect Republican ideals of the past; we are certain he shouldn't reflect the GOP of the future."
CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment on the Morning News' editorial, but did not immediately receive a response.
In late July, another prominent Texas newspaper with a history of conservative political endorsements -- the Houston Chronicle -- also made headlines when it endorsed Clinton and labeled Trump a "danger to the Republican Party" in an op-ed.
Well, if they supported the last two, 2008 and 2012, it didn't appear to do those candidates much good now did it? I don't believe those candidates won based on Obama being the POTUS the last 8 years. Maybe they decided that they actually cursed the candidates by supporting them.
Doesn't matter to me anyway. Trump is the only choice that makes the slightest sense.
And, of course, as a corollary to the coming trumpertantrum, his followers will be here to tell us what a loser publication it is, and how it used to be great but has gone downhill, and how it only backs losers... Oh, wait... I see they are already working on it.
Trump isn't part of the paid for Republican special interest group so no wonder traditional established Republicans who like to buy off politicians can't buy hi off and whine and now won't support him.
All that money Hillary is spending and she has lost her lead. I would love to see both Clinton and Trump's campaign have an equal melt down. I'll settle for a Clinton meltdown though.

Many of you hate Obama so much - surprised you don't think endorsing McCain ('08) and Romney ('12) opponents as a good thing.
Wonders never cease!
