For the first time since 1964, The Dallas Morning News won’t endorse the Republican nominee for president, declaring that Donald Trump “does not deserve your vote” and is not a true conservative nor Republican.
Its editorial today reads:
''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, 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.
Donald Trump is not qualified to serve as president and does not deserve your vote.
Hillary Clinton gets our unreserved endorsement in the 2016 election for Prsident of the United States''

History
The Dallas Morning News was founded in 1885 as a spin-off of the Galveston Daily News by Alfred Horatio Belo. In 1926, the Belo family sold a majority interest in the paper to its longtime publisher,George Dealey.
In late 1991, The Dallas Morning News became the lone major newspaper in the Dallas market when the Dallas Times Herald was closed after several years of circulation wars between the two papers, especially over the then-burgeoning classified advertising market. In July 1986, the Times Heraldwas purchased by William Dean Singleton, owner of MediaNews Group. After 18 months of efforts to turn the paper around, Singleton sold it to an associate. On 8 December 1991, Belo bought theTimes Herald for $55 million, closing the paper the next day.
It was not the first time the Belo family had bought (and closed) a paper named The Herald in Dallas.
Historically, the Morning News has tilted conservative, mirroring Texas' drift to the Republican Party. It hadnot endorsed a Democrat for president since Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II until it endorsed Hillary Clinton at the beginning of September 2016 in an editorial highly critical of Donald Trump..
