With the official nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton has the opponent of her dreams — someone whose character, preparation and views are so defective as to make last night’s roll call a devastating moment in the lives of many Republicans. The GOP has had magnificent nominees (Abraham Lincoln) and likable nominees (Ronald Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower). It’s had admirable nominees who lost (Mitt Romney) and flawed nominees who won (Richard Nixon). It has never — and we certainly include Barry Goldwater — had a nominee who embarrasses and disgusts a significant number of people in his own party. How does Clinton, without endangering support in her own ranks, reach out to Republicans to secure her win? Here are five steps she can take:

Jennifer Rubin describes herself as a conservative commentator at the Washington Post. She is actually a leftist Clinton supporter. She urges Republicans to support Hillary Clinton.

The picture at the link shows Senators McCain and Graham following Hillary Clinton like little puppy dogs.

I hate to break this to these idiots... but the number of “horrified” republicans is not remotely what they think it is.

Trump will hold the overwhelming majority of republican voters, and show no more loss of registered republicans than any other candidate in modern times... and he’ll win the independents handily in at least the 5 to 3 or 3 to 2 range, and will get more registered democrats voting for him than any other R in a long time as well....

Hillary is toast.

Hillary Clinton could make a $5M check out from the Clinton Foundation to my name and she still couldn't buy my vote.

The only way she can win is via massive, massive voter fraud.

Yeah. I can sense a veritable flood of disillusioned Republicans tossing their MAGA hats and voting for Her Heinous. Sure I can. Rubin should start holding her breath now.

cough, cough. And a few more incidents of our friendly peaceful religionist that like to bomb the crap out of everyone and force them to accept a Moon god.. cough...cough. Yeah, Hillary is in the run. Even the women are going to abandon her en masse. THIS is going to be more fun than the Olympics. She ran out of steam. Money, she has.

Admit her wrongs, plea to felony national security violations, then spend an appropriate amount of time in jail?

voter fraud will happen. Sadly we have to count on it.

Remember last election, some minority areas showed zero votes for Romney. Granted that blacks vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, but you would never expect to find zero votes for a Republican in such areas.

And there were some precincts, I believe in Philadelphia, last time in which voter turnout was over 100%. How can election officials certify a vote count in which more votes are cast than the number of registered voters?? Yet that happened in some places.

Translation: Smear him.

Starting with the Dem convention, a billion dollar smear carpet bombing campaign will be launched.

It is all they have, and they have plenty of money and media to do it.

He digs in his heels and decides he need not abide by a Supreme Court ruling invalidating parts of his wacky immigration plan.

They just described what Obama has already done.

I think many “Republicans” will vote for Mrs. Bill, their “vision” of the “good economy” of Mr. Bill in the back of their warped minds.

Conventions this month, Olympics next month, then the debates and finally the election.

It’s turning out to be a great summer and even better fall!
