Hillary Clinton Hopes to Capitalize on Republican Defectors

By AMY CHOZICKAUG. 10, 2016

Hillary Clinton’s campaign would like to turn the drip-drip-drip of Republican defectors abandoning Donald J. Trump into a deluge.

On Wednesday, after days in which several high-profile Republicans said they could not support Mr. Trump or were endorsing Mrs. Clinton, her campaign introduced an official outreach effort to target Republicans, along with a list of nearly 50 Republican and independent former cabinet secretaries, House and Senate members, ambassadors, national security leaders and business executives who are supporting Mrs. Clinton.

The group, called Together for America, includes the prominent George W. Bush administration official Carlos M. Gutierrez, a businessman and former secretary of commerce; former Representative Connie Morella, of Maryland; and John D. Negroponte, the former director of national intelligence in the Bush administration.

The list also includes previously announced supporters, including Meg Whitman, the California Republican fund-raiser and technology executive.

I'll say this for Trump: he's been remarkably effective at flushing out true blue UniParty members in DC. 

It goes to show how fetid the swamp is inside the Beltway when a group of people throw their support behind a woman who has killed American citizens due to her wanton disregard for protecting classified information.

Excellent post. Anyone who is truly a Republican could never vote for or support the corrupt shrew.

Yea but "Together for America" sounds super warm and fuzzy you guys. We can make America Venezuela, you guys. Help us appreciate the little things and stuff. We won't be just standing in lines all the time, we will be on parade all the time. Mother Gaia is going to love us a whole lot more once we give up meat and cars and move into condos, cramped aps and tiny homes made out of trader joe's bags.
