3. "closer to his agenda"? HE DID NOT SAY THAT. But a great endorsement!

Here's some of what ex- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson did say that Brentspeak so surprisingly did not choose to offer:

"When it comes to the presidency, I will not vote for Donald Trump. I will not cast a write-in vote."

"I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton, with the hope that she can bring Americans together to do the things necessary to strengthen our economy, our environment and our place in the world. To my Republican friends: I know I'm not alone."

“We are witnessing a populist hijacking of one of the United States’ great political parties,” “The GOP, in putting Trump at the top of the ticket, is endorsing a brand of populism rooted in ignorance, prejudice, fear and isolationism. This troubles me deeply as a Republican, but it troubles me even more as an American. Enough is enough. It’s time to put country before party and say it together: Never Trump.”

Brentspeak, I'm reccing this important endorsement for all in spite of the way you presented it.
