joining us now is kevin ann woolley, the "dallas morning news" editorial page editor. please tell us how you came to this decision and was it a long time in coming? was it a long argument in the editorial board over reaching this decision which is historic for you? >> yes, it is historic for us. and it was a very deliberate and carefully constructed decision over a process. the first part of the decision really involved donald trump and our growing discomfort with what he represented both in terms of policy and in terms of temperament. during the republican primary we had recommended john kasich, thinking that he more closely allied with the conservative values that this institution has held dear for a very long time. clearly, john kasich did not catch fire, and so we had a difficult decision to make and that is what to say about a republican nominee or a nominee who calls himself republican who really in our view does not reflect republican principles at all. >> i want to go to something -- listen to something the trump campaign spokesperson katrina pierson said about
