Texas newspaper endorses Kasich over Cruz
The Dallas Morning News on Friday endorsed Republican presidential candidate John Kasich over home-state rival Ted Cruz for the GOP nomination.
“As much as we’d like to see a Texan in the White House, we fear that Cruz’s brand of politics is more about disruption than governing and threatens to take the Republican Party to a dark place,” editorial members of the influential Texas newspaper wrote.
“John Kasich of Ohio is one of those pragmatic leaders, a Republican who — to his own present detriment, perhaps, but to the benefit of his constituents — shows more interest in actually governing than in partisan theatrics,” the newspaper added.
“While other GOP establishment opponents, for instance former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, have rewritten parts of their résumés, the center-right Kasich hasn’t been cowed by the farthest-right reaches of the party into doing anything of the sort,” the editorial reads.
