Clinton campaign rolls out a few dozen more Republican endorsements
The Washington Post ^ | September 29, 2016 | John Wagner

Posted on 09/30/2016 6:37:28 AM PDT by detective

The campaign of Democrat Hillary Clinton rolled out another 40 endorsements from prominent Republicans and independents Thursday, the latest play in a bid to lure voters across party lines in her race against Donald Trump.

The list includes three former congressmen, a dozen former high-ranking members of Republican administrations — including a White House ethics lawyer, a director of the Situation Room and an undersecretary of transportation — as well as an array of Capitol Hill staffers, local elected officials and fundraisers for GOP candidates.

The recruits were trumpeted in an afternoon conference call featuring John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, and several Republicans who’ve joined Together for America, a group launched by Clinton to coordinate GOP outreach.

I totally agree with you. If you vote for Clinton .. you ARE NOT a Republican; and probably never were.

If they would support Hillary, they should become democrats. No true republican could ever support Hillary.

Amazon’s multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post to influence elections that support his agenda — no taxes on online sales, extremist political views, etc. The Washington Post certainly wasn’t a good investment.

A lot of these dirtbags cannot fade away soon enough.

“”a director of the Situation Room and an undersecretary of transportation — as well as an array of Capitol Hill staffers, local elected officials and fundraisers for GOP candidates.””

WOW - a whole lot of very important people and even one who apparently presided over a ROOM.....

Maybe so, but I go with the Judas Iscariot theme.which is actually unfair to Judas because compared to them, Judas is a piker.

Excellent! This is a change election. For every inside-the-beltway establishment politician Hillary gets, she loses 10,000 voters who are sick of the status quo and want change...

If Trump manages to pull this off it will be the closest thing we’ll ever see to a revolution in our lifetime.

You have to wonder if there isn’t some kind of blackmail going on here.

There’s a lot more of us than of them... All we need to do is encourage these ‘Clinton Republicans’ to switch parties. They need to ‘be’ democrats - and we need them out of our party.

They haven’t figured out yet this only helps Democrat voters decide for Donald Trump.

And, as you said it also shows those now waking up and becoming aware, just how many Bushs, Mcains, Ryans, Grahams and evil Romneys are crawling around in the ‘conservative’ woodwork and they are all working together to bring in the Muslim Brotherhood, NWO globalist socialist Marxist crowd with demonic Obama, Hillary and Soros.

Well, Trump will become the de facto leader of the GOP. He will deal with these RINOs, I so hope. Or, is Uniparty so entrenched and powerful that he can’t?

We must thank the liberals for the great work they have done, exposing the neo-cons who support Clinton. They showed us Faux News is really a neo-con network who with the exception of Hannity, support establishment policies.

Turns out there really are three political parties. The Socialists, the Conservatives and the Establishment.

Hmmm, the RINO herd grows. HA!

I hope every last one of them is flushed out.

Good analysis. Yes, there are many unknowns on this list. It's all grandstanding.

Another telling statistic is that I didn't see active congressmen on the list. That means almost none of the legislative RINOs wants to be on the bad side of Trump going into an election where he's looking so strong.

Looks like a ton of D.C. lobbyists are going to have to find gainful employment elsewhere. Beautiful.

To begin with, Washington (com)Post; secondly, these people are RINOs and not a true Republican...if anything exists anymore...

She will pay to have things written to show her on top, don’t believe it and do NOT believe anything you read from the MSM, they are her campaign staff, they work for her...

If you want to know what is happening, listen to Trump rallies, there you will find out what is really happening...

They got John Warner to come to their side. He is one of the most worthless POS RINO’s to ever serve in the Senate. I haven’t seen any current GOPe congresscritters endorsing the Hildebeast. McCain would if he wasn’t up for re-election this year.

Now we are beginning to see how deeply the GOP under Bush was infiltrated.
No wonder Harry Reid knew every plan GWB was proposing.
