Thread: More Republicans say no to Trump, endorse Clinton

More Republicans say no to Trump, endorse Clinton

Eliza Collins, USA TODAY 1:19 p.m. EDT September 2, 2016

During the presidential primaries Charles Badger worked as former governor Jeb Bush’s director of coalitions. But on Friday, Badger announced he would be supporting Hillary Clinton.

"I must vote for a candidate who actually reads, studies policy, is prepared, and is running on bridging racial differences, not widening them,” Badger said in a statement released to USA TODAY.

Badger was one of more than a half dozen conservatives who joined Republicans for Clinton in 2016 (R4C16) Friday. The group — which is unaffiliated with Clinton’s campaign — is made up of Republicans who are backing Clinton for president over their own party’s nominee.

"We already have a 'great wall' in America — a wall of Republican leadership rising up to support Secretary Clinton over Mr. Trump," said John Stubbs, co-founder of R4C16, in the statement. Stubbs served in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in the George W. Bush administration.

“I’ve spent 20 years in Republican politics, but I am and always will be an American first,” Jenifer Sarver said in statement. “In this election we have two primary choices: someone who has substantive, credible, realistic policies that will move our country forward. Or, someone who divides, mocks and maligns, and whose campaign slogan explicitly yearns for the past. The choice is clear.”

Sarver was the deputy director of public affairs and director of speechwriting at the U.S. Department of Commerce under George W. Bush and has also worked for Republican lawmakers.

The group also announced Friday a list of Republicans who had previously endorsed Clinton but were now joining R4C16. That group includes Mark Salter, a former adviser to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Kurt Bardella a former spokesman for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Breitbart News.

What kind of reporting is this, USA Today? More CORRUPT MEDIA anti-Trump crap? WHERE do these traitors and racists work now? These are boys and girls who opened our borders and sold out our nation's manufacturing to other countries through BAD TRADE DEALS.

I guess Trump's open and direct outreach to black Americans was finally all they could stand. You know, it takes more than appointing a black to a post to solve problems for millions and millions of black Americans.

To decide to support Hillary Clinton means you support pay for play, so you're probably lobbyists now, but it would have been nice not to mention responsible journalist for USA Today to report where you work NOW.

To decide to support Hillary Clinton following Trump's magnificent trip to Mexico means you oppose renegotiating NAFTA.

To decide to support Hillary Clinton following Trump's fantastic immigration speech means you support illegal immigration.

To decide to support Hillary Clinton following Trump's black American outreach means you oppose bringing black voters home to the Republican Party.

To decide to support Hillary Clinton means you're .... well, I guess the best word for it, is DemocRATS.

That's right, you're racist, open borders, globalist Democrats selling out your own nation and citizens to fly for a awhile with the Elites determined to destroy our country to line their own pockets.

SHAME ON YOU and GOOD RIDDANCE. Be sure all 6 of you register as DemocRATS.

These professional politicians need to be gone from Washington. We can take them all out of Washington starting this fall. Vote them out one by one. No more career politicians they get to comfortable and have their own agenda and every year they are in office they owe more favors. We can make our own term limits vote them all out.
