Richard Armitage, who held top national security positions in the administrations of former Presidents George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, said he would vote for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over her likely Republican rival, Donald Trump.
"If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton," Armitage, who served as a deputy secretary of State under Bush and as an assistant secretary of Defense under Reagan, told
Politico on Thursday.
"He doesn't appear to be a Republican. He doesn't appear to want to learn about the issues. So I'm going to vote for Mrs. Clinton."
Clinton hit Trump earlier this month on national security, saying his ideas would put America in greater danger and inspire more terrorist attacks.
"A ban on Muslims would not have stopped this attack," Clinton added on Wednesday, referring to the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. over the weekend.
"Neither would a wall. I don't know how one builds a wall to keep the internet out," she said. "Not one of Donald Trump's reckless ideas would have saved a single life in Orlando."

but it's easier to find a Higgs-Boson particle than to find his moral core.
everybody who supports the hag has to be as criminal minded as she is. No exceptions for the DC politicians.
"Being a closet commie, I have decided to go the worst route for America because I don't like the man with the balls to act like a man - he intimidates me"....
Trump has been debating the issues. What upsets those into "political correctness," which Trump correctly rejects, is that Trump does not see the issues through their prism. Trump is not ignorant of the issues. He just puts America & the Americans First. Those who would surrender our heritage cannot stand the presence of those who remain loyal.
(I doubt if Benedict Arnold would have been comfortable in the presence of George Washington, after hostilities ended at York Town.)
The overriding issue, actually, is whether we will adhere to our Constitutional duty, and put America First or not. Trump gets it. This Armitage has apparently forgotten it, if he ever really understood.
“Face it folks. Its Trump and those of us who support him against everyone else now.”
We have zero media.
All of these GOPe types openly endorsing Hillary or calling Trump racist
The “true conservatives” either pouting in the corner or actively working with the Democrats. They certainly arent critical of Hillary.
Romney and Co. stopping all of the money
Leftist mobs attacking Trump supporters. People even refusing service to people they know are.
All of the entertainment industry is helping the left.
Social media is already openly censoring and manipulating the internet. That’s not even a secret.
So what do we even have to work with? Trump does a ton of heavy-lifting, but sometimes it is like we have virtually nothing else. Simply telling these people “FU” and “he’s outed another RINO” is fun and all, but is that all we have here to do?
Hey Richard, no republican votes for a commie criminal. You aren’t a republican.
Gives dumb eF's a bad name.
They’ve forgotten about Arlen Specter already
All the Bushies are going to endorse Clinton. Bushes and Clintons are the same.
Armitrage-Heavyweight?? Could have fooled me.
He was a coward.
The Plame leaker? Not surprised...
Jesse Hellman is a little on the ignorant side if s/he thinks Armitage is a “heavyweight”.
Armitage is/was a career bureaucrat, not a heavyweight.
There’s this: http://newsok.com/article/2192079
Not at all surprised. Steeped is he in the ring of fire that is DC. It’s another country, not even remotely reflective of its host country Texas and it’s neighboring states (the other 30 or so)
You’re absolutely right.
Why?
Because he had been to Germany as a youth and said most of the people there were nice... That's why we speak German today...
YOU sir are part of the problem.
What a complete idiot, guess he never heard of the death camps and 6 million Jews being murdered.
+1
Never thought anti americanism went so dee.
Feel like I’ve been lied to forever.
These so-called republicans can suck it.
