Politico: Richard Armitage Will Vote for Hillary Over Trump
newsmax.com ^ | 6/16/16 | Greg Richter

In what is believed to be the highest-ranking defection from the GOP so far, former Bush and Reagan-appointee Richard Armitage says he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump, Politico reports.

"If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton," the deputy secretary of state for President George W. Bush and assistant Defense secretary for President Ronald Reagan said.

"He doesn't appear to be a Republican," Armitage told Politico. "He doesn't appear to want to learn about the issues. So I'm going to vote for Mrs. Clinton."

Richard Armitage is an outright traitor who let Scooter Libby go to jail for something HE did!

Both he and his boss Colin "I'm for Barack" Powell are democrats in republican clothing.

The democrats can have him!!

Armitage is a turn coat. Purge him from the Republican roster with disgrace.

One of the benefits of Trump’s campaign is that it has exposed the moles in the Republican Party. Powell is a great friend of Louis Farrakhan. These people are not Republicans.

Richard Armitage? Isn’t he the slimeball who outed non-secret secret agent Valerie Plame and let Scooter Libby take the fall for it?

Shouldn’t he be committing espionage or treason or maybe LEAKING CIA OFFICERS NAMES TO THE PRESS and letting Someone else GET PROSECUTED FOR IT instead of yapping about our Next President?

Richard Armitage acknowledged Thursday that he was the source who first revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame. A blast from the past.

They deserve each other. Apparently national security is a low priority for both of them.

Trump has done a great favor to the country exposing the real faces of these power elites, right or the left. Trump could do a bigger favor by destroying them in this election, even though not winning the election. It is the uniparty oligarchy is controlling the country, the so called left wing and right wings are the two wings of a single predatory bird betraying this country, in Pat Buchanan’s words.

I guess Hillary “appears” to be a republican. That tells everyone exactly what a real republican is. A democrat!

The Republican elites are running scared.

They would rather clean Hillary’s toilets for eternity than lose their inside-the-beltway privlege.
