Clinton asks Romney’s allies for cash to stop Trump
LOS ANGELES — Hillary Clinton’s team is on the market for more millionaires. This time, Mitt Romney’s millionaires.
After successfully encouraging disaffected, high-profile Republicans to publicly disavow their party’s nominee, Clinton’s campaign in the last two weeks has launched a coordinated effort to convince conservatives to give money to the only woman standing in Donald Trump’s way, and to get their friends to do the same.
The effort began Aug. 12, when Clinton finance director Dennis Cheng wrote a 1,200-word email to the candidate’s top fundraisers, describing how they could win over GOP and independent contributors. That email included a sample letter fundraisers could send Republican prospects and presents potential aisle-crossers the option to donate or raise either $10,000, $27,000, $50,000, or $100,000 for the Clinton operation.
In a pitch delivered one fundraiser to another, Clinton’s wealthiest Democratic allies are targeting their friends and colleagues in Republican fundraising networks including Romney's. They’re asking for direct contributions to the campaign and an assist in bundling big-dollar donations from other anti-Trump Republicans.

I hope Romney doesn't fall for this,
Nevermind, those who say Obamacare is fashioned after the program signed into law by whom some, like Newt Gingrich, would call a "Massachusetts Liberal" Mitt Romney, or that 2012 Constitution Candidate called Romney the
"father of gay marriage" in this country.
You always find those saying derisive things about the candidate, makes one wonder whose side they are on. But with so much mudslinging going on, a fair point to mention.
