I’m a Republican, and I’m with Hillary Clinton

SNIP
"I have watched this election unfold, from that first press conference where the population of an entire country was cast as insulting to our core.
This led to a neverending spiral of vulgarity, intellectual dishonesty, invective, abuse, misogyny, racism, intolerance, bullying, ignorance and downright cruelty. The fact that the person unleashing these forces, reflecting beliefs and biases that we had long ago identified as at odds with the Founding Fathers’ principle of ordered liberty was a member of my party, was at first cause for irritation evolving into alarm and frustration and finally arriving at a sobering moment of embarrassment"..


SNIP
"This abysmally unfit candidate has unleased racist and violent acts.
There has been no need for dog whistles.
The call to brand entire religions and countries as unworthy and despicable, and the call for profoundly un-American practices, including asking the honorable men and women serving our country in the military to engage in the profoundly dishonorable task of torturing human beings and killing innocent families, has been open and unequivocal.
The very worst in our society, the Klan and the neo-Nazis, revel in this horrific rhetoric."

1. Would rather these Republicans stay home

Especially those located in competitive House Districts or Senate seats.

[misterhighwasted]

2. They are ducking & running from truth of their Party too.

Trump is a glaring example of the underbelly of the RW & its not pretty.

[hibbing]

16. It is all out in the open for all to see

Nothing new at all. It is interesting to watch some of them come to the realization that their base is made up of racists.


Peace

9. I would much rather they go out and vote for Hillary. nt

[Funtatlaguy]

13. She will win. Just too many advantages in Electoral College

My concern is to get her a Congress that she can work with.

[pnwmom]

14. She needs to have a large enough margin not just to win but to prevent

them from winning by election fraud. That's why they couldn't steal it from Obama -- the margin was just too large.

18. I understand this fear, Mom.

I live in the first ever Diebold machines state that many believe cost us our Governor and Senator.
What worries me most, though, is Hillary having to deal with repug senates and houses that will try to obstruct everything she does.
But, yes, if you live in a very blue or red district where ur House race is a foregone conclusion or the same in your state with a Senate race, by all means, encourage Repug friends that hate Trump to vote for Hillary and they can still vote all repug down ballot.
But, if your district or Senate race is competitive, we want Repubs to stay home.
Just imagine Hillary having a Dem Senate and Dem House to work with!

3. Hmm...

a neverending spiral of vulgarity, intellectual dishonesty, invective, abuse, misogyny, racism, intolerance, bullying, ignorance and downright cruelty.

It always amazes me that it has taken some Republicans this long to discover what had been there for decades.

[busterbrown]

17. The Republicans who make their living as Pundits?

Will have to find some other way of earning income..
Trump has ruined it for a lot of sensible Repubs that were for 2 decades making
a nice living off What you mentioned in your thread... Now the sensible ones are
jumping ship..

[sellitman]

23. You left out his lying

Of course that only happens when his mouth is moving.

[sheshe2]

4. This

The republic should outlast any party. Our democratic spirit will ensure that we do and that this shining city on the hill eventually will shine even brighter.

I am equally convinced that our republic will be placed in fundamental peril if we are foolish enough to elect a person who has made it clear that he does not share in our democratic values and that the only idol in his temple is himself. And he is willing to pull down the glorious edifice of our American democracy.

Perfect take down of Trump.

Thank you for posting, mister.

[misterhighwasted]

6. Yes it is. There's plenty of bad blood between the Bush Fam & Trump

Although, he could double down and have his PAC throw a few million to Hillary and drive that point home.

He could help destroy Trump even further but this is a very good start.

[rivegauche]

5. I LOVE IT. This is what needs to be said.

Often, in every paper and website! No more soft flabby language about that orange douchebag. Tell it, Mr. Fernandez.

[misterhighwasted]

7. And he brought it all home with the Nazi/Klan reference. The last line people will read.

[ffr]

8. Meanwhile, HRC is rolling out plans for America's future & policies

But no front page coverage for that. Instead the front page is reserved for the Drumpf media circus.



It's exactly what Idiocracy forecast, the dumb will inherit the Earth, unless democrats stand up and vote for what's right. Share in your stake in America. VOTE or else.

[boomer55]

10. wow.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. Only part.....

I didn't like was the "vote for every other Republican."

Who do you think GOT US INTO this mess?

[misterhighwasted]

12. Indeed. Team Hillary needs to keep hanging Trump around the neck of every Repub

Make them all drag him with them like a ball & chain.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. ^^^ THIS ^^^

Trump is their creation, no matter the level of government.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. Ha, ha!!!!

"ball & chain" made me think of Woody Allen's gag about being in a chain gang and escaping as a charm bracelet!
Yeah, put them ALL on one big chain gang - f'ing crooks and scam artists!

[mountain grammy]

19. vote Hillary and every single Republican on the ticket?

Really? How about the Trump lovers? Aren't they just as bad? Of course they are.

Don't vote, Republicans; it's the only decent thing to do.

22. This right here.....

No longer can we hide behind the excuse that party loyalty is paramount, and that a bad candidate of our own is always better than any candidate of theirs. Blind loyalty in this case is the ultimate definition of disloyalty to our beliefs. Loyalty to our nation must be the ultimate arbiter of our choice.
