Meet the ‘Trumpocrats’: Lifelong Democrats Breaking with Party Over Clinton to Support Trump
Breitbart ^ | 23 Aug 2016 | Matthew Boyle

Meet the “Trumpocrats,” or so the sizable collection of lifelong Democrats breaking with their party. ...

Rickers...phone interview:

I’m a lifelong Democrat, really since I was a little kid, and I still am a Democrat. But the Clintons—for instance, where I am from, my hometown, when I was a kid we had 15 manufacturing plants and we now have one. Nobody does anything there anymore, ...The Clintons are really the cause of this, the cause of manufacturing going overseas with NAFTA and the trade deals and all of that. Donald Trump... he really does want to do something about that and that he wants to protect our people with better trade policies...

If Hillary Clinton is elected, and not Donald Trump, Rickers says that income inequality—and particularly the “gap” between “the rich and the poor” will get worse. Clinton’s refusal to focus on issues that matter to middle class...including Democrats—is why Rickers is calling on Democrats nationwide to join...

Saunders told Fox News for the special while walking through a traditionally Democratic neighborhood:

People here were traditionally Democrats. You couldn’t find a Republican with a search warrant around here 50 years ago. ...I want someone who will throw a rock at a bee’s nest, and Hillary Clinton is not going to throw a rock at a bee’s nest unless she gets a lot of money for it. ...

“I’ve been doing conservative talk radio in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and parts of New York for almost 20 years,” Rose Tennent, the host of the Pittsburgh-area morning conservative talk radio show Rose Unplugged, told Breitbart News. “This is the first time in those 20 years that I have been flooded with calls from Democrats to my show. The number of Dems who are leaning Republican calling the show is unprecedented.”

If Clinton gets elected maybe the income gap will lessen. Those working will stop or slow down and take advantage of the wide safety net.

Bravo, for these Americans finally waking up to the real cause of the decline of America and the Clintons had their part in it. This means the media is much less effective in spewing their lies and deceptions, for their corrupt agenda, now that these people see the truth of the left's destructive policies.

It's very possible prayers are being answered, as these Americans are finally waking up, AMEN.

I’m pretty sure my mother has voted a straight democrat ticket in every election she’s ever voted in - until this one.

Trump has woken more than a few sleeping patriots.

"I have not met a Clintoncrat"

Me either. But I don't hang out with globalists or limousine liberals. Life is too short.
