In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton invokes unlikely allies on the stump — the Bushes [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)... if it wasn't obvious, the guy who is the presumptive nominee on the other side is in the middle of a complete meltdown where it doesn't seem he can pull his party together to support him. Many prominent Republicans have said his racism and ridiculous foreign policy pronouncements are so awful they will either not vote, or reluctantly vote for or support Hillary.
I support Hillary doing everything she can to rub that wound raw, including encouraging support from any Republicans wanting to flee the Trump catastrophe.
This is a historic opportunity where we can not only beat the Republican nominee, but encourage a split in that party as wide as the grand canyon, one that might produce a flip in the Senate and come close to flipping the House, even though I dont believe that is possible right now.
