The Republican Party's decision to nominate Donald Trump for president continues to force some unusual decisions by newspaper editorial boards.

First the Dallas Morning News broke with decades of tradition by endorsing Hillary Clinton, its first Democratic choice since before World War II.

Then the New Hampshire Union Leader ended a century of endorsing Republican candidates and backed libertarian Gary Johnson.

On Friday, the Cincinnati Enquirer joined the ranks of staunchly Republican editorial boards spurning Trump.

"The Enquirer has supported Republicans for president for almost a century — a tradition this editorial board doesn’t take lightly," the editors wrote. "But this is not a traditional race, and these are not traditional times."

Calling Trump "a clear and present danger to our country," the newspaper is backing Clinton.

"Our reservations about Clinton pale in comparison to our fears about Trump," the editors wrote.

They added: "In these uncertain times, America needs a brave leader, not bravado. Real solutions, not paper-thin promises. A clear eye toward the future, not a cynical appeal to the good old days."
