Republicans switching to Clinton

Check Out the Shocking (and Growing) List Of GOP-ers Who Are “With Her”

In June of this year, retired U.S. Army Colonel Peter Mansoor, a lifelong Republican, stunned the nation during an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN when he announced that he would be voting for Hillary Clinton. Why? Because, in his own words, “Donald Trump is not fit to be President.”

Among the defectors is Sally Bradshaw who until recently was a top adviser to former Presidential candidate Jeb Bush. This year, Bradshaw switched her voter registration from Republican to Unaffiliated. A GOP stalwart since working on George H.W. Bush’s campaign in 1988, Bradshaw told CNN,

Another prominent Republican who recently announced his support for Clinton is U.S. Representative Richard Hanna of New York. Hanna’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton comes in the wake of Trump’s recent comments about an American Muslim family, whose son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in action in Iraq in 2004. Hanna was “stunned by the callousness of his comments,” calling Trump a “national embarrassment.”

Trump’s fellow billionaire investor Warren Buffett has also become increasingly vocal in his criticism of Trump. In 1995, Buffett pointed out that anyone who invested in Trump’s Atlantic City hotels at the time was making a bad move – a prediction that came true. So much for the argument that Trump’s “business experience” makes him qualified to run the country. But what Buffett finds outrageous is Trump’s claims that he has made “sacrifices” through his “hard work” in real estate development.
