Members of the GOP foreign policy establishment are open to supporting Hillary Clinton for president if that’s what it takes to prevent Donald Trump from becoming commander in chief. As The Hill reports, a number of prominent Republicans who signed a scathing open letter denouncing Trump said they aren’t wavering from their opposition to him..."Donald Trump is not a Republican. ... He is a caricature of classless wealth. ... He is a caricature of the ugly American."
“What’s happening is you have a lot of people who are desperate to get anybody in there other than Trump. ... People are going to go for Cruz, because at the end of the day they think he’s considerably less bad than Trump,” said Eliot A. Cohen, a former adviser to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) who also served in the George W. Bush administration.
Cohen, along with Bryan McGrath, organized an open letter opposing Trump that was signed by more than 120 members of the Republican foreign policy establishment. The letter declared that Trump is unfit to be president because his views of American power are “wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle.” The Hill contacted 13 of the people on the letter and heard back from all but two of them...
“Donald Trump is not a Republican. ... He is a caricature of classless wealth. ... He is a caricature of the ugly American,” said McGrath, the deputy director at the Center for American Seapower at the Hudson Institute who is now working with the Cruz campaign.......... snip

If only we had voted for Jeb, and kept him in the race....that would have prevented us from voting for Hillary now. Yes, that must be the outcome.

Ok, what medication are Republicans-for-Hillary taking? Or did they huff on some paint-thinner?
I just can’t imagine some die-hard Republican standing in some bar, and trying to explain his fake enthusiasm for Hillary and how he could do something this stupid and be happy about it.
Well, there are more of us than there are of them, so let them vote for whomever they want.
The GOPe peaked. No bench. No platform. No agenda.
The best years are behind them.
We need a list.
The NATION needs a list, NOW, two years from now, four years from now...
They won’t vote for trump cause he’s not a republican but Hillary is?
a list...
and mass quantities of rope, or perhaps 500# test wire to adorn our lampposts with festive decorations just in time for Christmas and New Years celebrations.
Trump won’t play their game. The more they talk the more it is obvious that the Uniparty is real and we are all being conned.
Most of our foreign policy elites are neocons, most of whom were former Democrats. Guess they’re going “home” again. They can take Turtle McConnell an Speaker Lyin Ryan with them too.
Imagine sitting down to watch your favorite sports team only to have the players come out on the field and say “We don’t like our star. So tonight, we’re not even gonna try.”
That pretty much sums up who Donald Trump is. Classless wealth, loud, crude, crass, brash, vulgar, very ugly.
i.e. Quintessentially American. He's perfect for the job!
Ha. I was going to comment on the caricature of classless weath comment. What elitist nonsense you are parroting.
Trump is the poster child for classless wealth. Nasty, crude and really vulgar. No class whatsoever. A real disgrace.
nobody wants the Witch but there she flys...
nobody with any sense wants Trump, but there he is...
in the meantime, so many decent thoughtful pub candidates have been crushed by silly but destructive personal attacks.....
IMO, Trump is just the placeholder for Hitlery...he has no chance to win...even normally solid pub voters I know can't vote for him...
so he's doing his job for the witch very very well....
its a sad America anymore....a banana republic....
Yepper, key word is uniparty.
To say the scarlets will vote no differently than before.
Take names, and avoid their representation.
Well which is it? Your criticism of Trump is fundamentally the same as the effete, eurotrash, also-rans have for ALL Americans.
So is that the side you're choosing?
