Former Democratic fundraiser who helped raise millions for Obama says she's voting for Trump

Huynh previously hosted fundraiser dinners that cost up to $100,000 a plate for Obama's 2008 campaign.

A former Obama fundraiser who assisted in raising millions of dollars in donations for his campaign said that she is leaving the Democratic Party and plans to vote for former President Donald Trump this November.

"Like any divorce, there’s not just one thing, there’s a series of things that led up to it," former Obama fundraiser Allison Huynh said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" last week. 

Huynh created the robotics and AI company Willow Garage, which was subsequently sold to Google. She and her then-husband Scott Hassan helped raise millions for then-candidate Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign by hosting Silicon Valley giants for dinners that cost up to $100,000 per plate.

Huynh said she has since become frustrated with the Democratic Party, particularly over its stance on crime.

"The Democrats were policing the wrong things," she told Fox News host Jesse Watters. "The things that we need to police are violent criminals that are scattered throughout the streets of San Francisco, people defecating, shooting up heroin in front of me and my kids, and allowing criminals to go in and steal from our grocery stores, shutting down grocery stores."

Yeah, whatever.

Seems like this has become a theme over the last couple of elections. I wonder how much this “influencer” gets paid for “changing her vote”, along with the others.

I am always surprised when Việt immigrants or their children fall to and dark side politically given what they left in Việt Nam and get a lift when I see that one has taken a drink of reality.

If a political party makes it its policy to not prosecute crime and crime becomes prevalent, it is going to lose voters in mass!

People want at least the illusion of safety in their cities, they do not want to dodge human excrement walking on the streets in the best neighborhoods in the city, they do not want be besieged by the homeless walking into the trendy stores in the classiest parts of the market district.

The Democrats are the party of the Rich and Famous but are losing many of those who are not ideologically committed.
