Meet the ‘Trumpocrats’: Lifelong Democrats Breaking with Party [truncated]
Breitbart ^ | 23 Aug 2016 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 08/23/2016 9:28:23 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Christian Rickers, the Virginia-based executive director of the Trumpocrats PAC—a Super PAC designed to help his like-minded lifelong Democrats abandon the sinking Democratic ship due to Hillary Clinton’s nomination and join the Trump movement—walked Breitbart News through why he is leading the effort among Democrats who support Trump for president.

Rickers’ argument centers on trade policy, and Trump’s ardent opposition to the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) that Clinton supported publicly more than 40 times but now claims she opposes. He points back to Bill Clinton’s backing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) from his time as president, and Rickers says Democrats everywhere should be terrified of how much further Hillary Clinton would go if she’s elected president.

I guess some DemocRats are becoming weary of trying to keep track of Hitlery’s constant lies and crimes. Between her and Obama, maybe they are finally seeing the evil and darkness that makes our future look very dim.

Hey, I’ll take it. Every vote counts.

But if they are lifetime Democrats there is a lot more than just TPP or NAFTA that differed from conservatives.

They seem mixed up, but again - no problem. Hope they get a lot to join them.

As a now former democrat of 38 years, I prefer the term “Trumplican.” While way too many republicans don’t have the best interest of our country at heart, virtually no democrat obviously gives a damn about the future of our nation!!
My old party has completely alienated me with their weak political correctness and socialistic progressivism!!!

You bet we will. Compare them with the "Republicans for Clinton" (how I gag even when just THINKING such a phrase). We have to trade them for SOMEbody. These folks are sick of a lot of the same crap we are. My bet is that they become more conservative as the party becomes more nationalist.

If a large portion of Democratic voters in key States go to Trump, the Wicked Witch is finished.

Problem is how many wishy washy Republicans are going vote for Hillary or Gary Johnson because Trump hurts their little feelings with his “harsh rhetoric.”

....”Problem is how many wishy washy Republicans are going vote for Hillary or Gary Johnson because Trump hurts their little feelings with his “harsh rhetoric.”......

If they're wishy washy then they haven't been paying attention nor can they identify the high steaks of this election.....otherwise they would KNOW what they needed to do.

I believe many of them are simply attention getter's, being “different’ so they can “feel” significant.

I’m in PA too, and every week I see more Trump signs in people’s yards, a lot of them home made and really nice.

I stopped by Trumps campaign office in Clarks Summit PS. They said they’ve been swamped, and tons of Dems coming in to get signs

Me too, but yesterday at a golf course, two brothers, both demonRATS in their 70s, got into a screaming match about Trump/klintoon.

The one is a recent Trump convert but his brother will never switch so there was a lot of contention.

This is happening all over PA, and folks that never voted for a pubbie are going to vote for Trump this year.

I’m in Indiana County, Pa. Same here. More and more Trump signs going up in yards. Some people have made their own BIG signs to get the message across! I have seen only one Hillary sign.

We have become a nation of lazy Face-bookers who are used to simply clicking the “like” button to show our support.

The REAL test is going to be the “hours out of my life” test: Are you REALLY willing to take a couple hours out of your life to go and vote for Hillary?

To many young black/Hispanics, Hillary Clinton is the embodiment of every b!tchy, evil ole’ white teacher they had in school.
