In a 2013 email published a few days ago by WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton expressed views wildly at odds with those of the American citizenry: “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.” Most of Donald Trump’s Republican defectors are poised to help her achieve her open-borders dream.
As Republican elites continue to defy Republican voters on the crucial issue of immigration, it’s not surprising that the Senate’s open-borders crowd is refusing to back the man who—largely because of his hawkish immigration position — was chosen by Republican voters to be their party’s nominee. While only 30 percent of Senate Republicans voted for the open-borders “Gang of Eight” legislation (30 percent too many), the percentage was far higher among Trump defectors. Among senators who were in office in 2013, 55 percent (6 of 11) of those who now say that they cannot support Trump voted to support the “Gang of Eight” legislation.
On this issue, as on most issues, the citizenry has a better sense of what’s right than the ruling class does.
Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) says she “cannot support” and “will not vote for” Trump. Susan Collins (R., Maine) says she “could not support” Trump. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) says Trump “needs to withdraw from the race.” Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) says Trump “should drop out.” John McCain (R., Ariz.) says he “will not vote for” Trump (but will instead “write in the name of some good” Republican, who in McCain’s imagination is running for president). And Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) says she “cannot and will not support” Trump, who has “has forfeited the right to be our party’s nominee.” All six voted for the Gang of Eight bill.

The 10 year old video was nothing more than a convinient cover for these globalist. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the American people.
Yep. Crap story that has nothing to do with national issues.
I wouldn’t put it past the lot of them if they announced that they were defecting to the Rat Party.
The dream of a lying murdering traitor!
It all falls into place when she nominates a Supreme Court Judge and the RINOS consent, that rules with the four Idiots on the left that the 2nd Amendment is NOT a personal right.
Babs Boxer and Fienswine will demand house to house confiscation.
Ayotte unfortunately is my Senator. I voted for her in 2010. She rode a wave of Tea Party support into office and then promptly turned her back on us. I was willing to hold my nose and vote for her as long as she backed Trump but now...she can kiss that goodbye. Already contacted her office to let her know. Not sure who I will vote for...maybe Daniel Webster.
