Who would have ever believed that so many big names in the Republican Party would publicly pledge to vote for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election? All throughout the primaries and the caucuses, the Republican establishment expressed tremendous disdain for Donald Trump, but they were unable to derail his march to the nomination. Now that we have reached the general election, some of the biggest names in the GOP are actually taking the unprecedented step of crossing over to the other side and are publicly announcing their support for Hillary Clinton. This shows that many of these individuals were only “Republicans in name only” to begin with, and it also demonstrates the lengths that the elite are willing to go to in order to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
One of the latest big Republican names to publicly support Hillary Clinton is Sally Bradshaw. CNN is describing her as “Jeb Bush’s top adviser”, and she has gone so far as to completely remove herself from the Republican Party because of Donald Trump…

I have no problem with the defections.....it’s the fraud that I am worried about.
It’s not the elitist names that count. It’s the volume. And Trump will wipe the floor with Hillary.
FLUSH!
Poor Jebby’s butthurt must be contagious.
Parade list to march peacefully into Hillary’s Gulag.
The RINO crust on the Republican party is razor thin.
Not staggering at all they are all liberals. Every one of them.
She can HAVE people like Max Boot; a warmonger who was a big advocate of the second Iraq War and is almost constant in his campaign for US intervention in all sorts of places that can start very big wars. I don’t know if he’s ever seen a minute in the military.
Republican base + independents + anti TPP types + Reagan Democrats = victory.
All of them NWO globalists who we want out anyway.
Wait till they run.
At least they are unmasking themselves voluntarily.
These are just some of the big Republican names that the Washington Post says have already committed to voting for Hillary Clinton…
Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state and adviser to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush
Brent Scowcroft, chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and adviser to three previous GOP presidents
Alan Steinberg, regional EPA administrator
Kori Schake, National Security Council and State Department aide
Doug Elmets, former Reagan spokesman
Jim Cicconi, former Reagan and George H.W. Bush aide
Charles Fried, former U.S. solicitor general under Reagan
Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, former Reagan State Department aide and adviser to the presidential campaigns of John McCain and Mitt Romney
Max Boot, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and adviser to GOP presidential candidates
Peter Mansoor, retired Army colonel and former aide to David Petraeus
Larry Pressler, former three-term Republican senator from South Dakota
Arne Carlson, a former two-term Republican governor of Minnesota
Robert Smith, former judge on New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals
Mark Salter, former top adviser to John McCain
Mike Treiser, former Mitt Romney aide
Ben Howe, editor at RedState.com
On the mark about Boot, another pious schmuck in the Woodrow Wilson/George Bush mold.
Some BIG Republican names, there, all right! BIG! Big stuff! BIG loss for the party, there. So sad. Sniff....
The Republican party has been infiltrated for decades. It is good that these people have exposed themselves. I once feared that Trump was a fraud set up by the establishment. Considering the nature of his opposition, that now appears unlikely. He cannot be allowed to become president however. To many people will be going to jail and that includes many “Republicans.” Do you think Dennis Hastert was only exposed recently? His perversion was well known by the people who pull the strings. What are Ryan, McConnell,. etc. hiding?
GOOD!
That's what we've been clamoring for, hopefully more to follow.
Don't let the door hit cha where the good Lord split cha.
“Establishment” republicans hopefully will go the way of the Whigs. Pathetic, anti-Free-America losers.
Hate to see Armitage and Scowcroft on this list. Both have served the country well and should know better.
If Hitlery does steal this election what’s the point of the Republican party? Pretty much our lives are forever degraded. Start a third party that encompasses the support Trump has tapped into.
The Republicans will be rendered totally useless.
