Brett Baier: Some Republicans Could Back Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump
Fox News ^ | March 7, 2016 | Brian Flood

Posted on 03/08/2016 8:28:23 AM PST by yoe

Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier said it’s possible that some Republicans will vote for Hillary Clinton just to stop Donald Trump from taking over the party.

“Listen, there are Republicans in Washington who are privately saying that already,” Baier told TheWrap on Monday. “Maybe some don’t publicly say it, but I think there are some who are that adamant about it who would.”

[“Maybe some don’t publicly say it, but I think there are some who are that adamant about it who would.”]

Therein lay the reason for the Fox establishment, unprecedented debate for the socialists.

File under when all else fails.

They need to be named and shamed, then thrown from office.

“There are Republicans in Washington”...
No, there is Political Royalty in Washington hell bent on keeping power.

They do not care about this country. Hillary is not the boogie man that we are afraid of and will drive us to jump on the establishment train.

Is that all you got?

Why would you say that Donald Trump supporters are largely white and uneducated? Are you repeating the media?
I know of Donald Trump supporters with enough degrees to look like the alphabet next to their name and from all races.

"Listen, there are Republicans in Washington who are privately saying that already,"

The "establishment" folks at the GOP are all backing Hillary, and have been from the start. In fact, they backed Obama and that's why we got stuck with guarantee losers McCain and Romney.

The D.C. RINO Royalty has NO Republican loyalty.

Loyalty only to themselves, their sense of power.....and their putting insatiable greed and remaining in office above their country.

Even McCain backed Obama:

Essentially endorsed his opponent, Obama, 3 weeks before the election in ‘08.

What I was saying elsewhere - that the big donors, once Jeb Bush was no longer in the race, they would switch their funding DIRECTLY to Herself, or any of the PACs that are acting on behalf of Herself.

Since Jeb was the designated loser ANYWAY, anything that pushed him to the forefront could only help Herself. This way, the transfer of money and influence is much more direct, and probably a more efficient distribution of the funds involved, more bang for the buck.

Herself is, in her fashion, so much WORSE than the very worst day Nixon ever had, and is reputed to have absolutely despised Nixon. Others may document this statement in whatever way they wish. But for loathing Nixon so very much, Herself is trying very, very hard to emulate the least attractive attributes of the 37th President.

Besides, the state of health that Herself enjoys is a a little shaky, and may result in early withdrawal from the race. Herself may be a pretty uncertain reed to lean upon.

Republicans who say they are Voting For Hillary to "save" our party are liars.
At the most they might have been RINOs, yet that is about the extent of their involvement.
I hope this is the last job that dirty weasel Reince Preibus ever holds.

So the superpacs that are supporting Ted and Rubio are acting on behalf of people who really want Hillary.

Think about that for a minute.

These people seem bitter and would rather see Hillary.

Maybe they actually believe that, born in Canada to a Cuban father, Cruz isn't eligible.

If that's their criteria, then they aren't "bitter" for not supporting Cruz.

Instead, they're just being Constitutional first, political second.
