Republicans for Hillary?

WASHINGTON—Bryan Yarde, a 25-year-old independent voter from Florida who says he leans conservative, is closely following the Republican presidential primary—and doesn’t like what he sees from the two leading candidates, businessman Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

“The nativist tendencies of Cruz and Trump are pretty atrocious,” said Mr. Yarde, adding that he would consider supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton if either man wins the GOP nomination.

non insane, non asshole righty.

Rare being the key word, I suppose.

Whether he would consider Hillary or Bernie, I am more interested in how rare he is.

Although, maybe not, as it does play into my theory that Donald is being the biggest ass who ever ran on purpose, to ultimately blow up the GOP chances of winning.

You can be sure that she will nominate a supreme court justice who will keep at least the current balance.

understand exactly what they are doing. And that they are at heart very progressive. Which of course brings up the question of why the hell are the in the Republican party in the first place.

This guy sounds like a straightforward moderate Republican, so Hillary makes a great deal of sense for him.

a republican that spouts racist, homophobic, and every other phobic stuff is a progressive at heart because he/she is will to vote for Bernie.

Sad.
