 Clinton’s GOP supporters expect something in return

Conservatives who abandoned Trump see jobs, access and influence over policy as the reward.

By Darren Samuelsohn

Republicans backing Hillary Clinton want history to reflect they didn’t help Donald Trump win the White House. But that’s not the only reason they’re bucking their party’s line.

Access, appointments and influence over a Clinton administration’s policies is the just dessert that a growing slate of conservative policy wonks, Capitol Hill veterans and former GOP administration officials say they expect for endorsing and in some cases raising money for the Democratic presidential nominee.

And they’re already getting it. From messaging help delivered by Clinton’s communications team to direct and regular access to senior staffers and in-person meetings to discuss policy and strategy, Republicans who have abandoned Trump say the Democrat has given every indication that the GOP view will be reflected in her administration.

We can all deny this as long as we want to, but what we are faced with is electing the lesser of 2 liberals.
May the least liberal win (I suppose), but I can't say I am happy about it.

Rewarding ANY liberal with your vote will only get you more liberalism!
