The state’s Republican Party chairman is talking up Donald Trump and predicted that the GOP presidential candidate will do well in NY.
That will happen, Cox said, despite Trump not spending much campaign money to speak of in NY.
The editorial board of the Dallas Morning News (DMN) argues that it continues to support Republican values, but that Trump isn’t a Republican.
“Donald Trump is no Republican, and we can not recommend him for president”, the newspaper tweeted Tuesday morning. And the Morning News, which endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the Republican primary, stopped short of endorsing Clinton.
The piece also stated that Trump’s protectionism “would likely force the USA into trade wars, increase the deficit and sink the US economy back into a recession” and that the GOP nominee’s “idea of fiscal conservatism is reducing expenses by financing mountains of soul-crushing debt”. Regardless, his ideas are so far from Republicanism that they have spawned a new description: Trumpism.
There is no mention of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the article.
The editorial condemned Trump’s strong immigration stance, specifically the proposal to ban muslims from entering the country.
“We have no interest in a Republican nominee for whom all principles are negotiable”, the paper added, “nor in a Republican Party that is willing to trade away principle for pursuit of electoral victory”.

Asked for his understanding of what Trump’s immigration policy would mean for those now living in this country illegally, Cox said it was clear enough to him that Trump would be prioritizing enhancing current security along the border, and immediately removing from the US those who committed more serious crimes.
