I've never voted for a Democrat in my entire life. And I'll vote for my first Democrat when the ballots come out in November," said Elmets, who remains a registered Republican. "I could live with four years of Hillary Clinton before I could ever live with one day of Donald Trump as president."
It's an astonishing statement for the Republican consultant and former operative who began his career as a White House staff assistant to conservative powerhouses Ed Rollins and Lee Atwater in 1981 at the dawn of the Reagan administration.

Elmets and Gergen - elitist wannabes
“The poor guy, he has totally lost his mind...”
I agree. The boy just ain’t right in the head. Probably impossible to have a rational conversation with him.
Ed Rollins? Well there you are.
um... sure
Every four years, we get some of these stories. It happened with Romney, it happened a lot with Bush. It happens with conservative Senate candidates. It happened with McCain, but that was more because some Republicans were like teenage school girls with a crush on Obama, or because Sarah Palin as VP was beyond the pale. They are able to dredge up some “Republican” to talk about how horrible the Republican candidate is and how they are going to vote for the Dem. Its a BS template story that is the same every time.
IMO, anyone voting for the Benghazi Murderess, like this schmuck, is a treasonous POS. Case closed.
Yes I recall similar stories in the past, where otherwise solid Republicans are said to not be able to vote for the GOP candidate this time.
It’s part of the liberal media template.
Rinos are self identifying
For every one (1) Elmets.........
There’s ten (10) Blue Color Construction workers who have always voted DemocRAT and will now hit the lever for Trump!
I get that these pubbies wanted their favorite or gal guy on the ticket.
But the spittle spewing hatred of trump is inexplicable.
No, he hasn’t lost his mind, it belongs to The Cheap Labor Express, he sold it along with his soul.
Was my first, or close second thought right after reading for about 3 seconds.
BS story.
“Theres ten (10) Blue Color Construction workers who have always voted DemocRAT and will now hit the lever for Trump!”
I think so too. Hope we are correct. Most people are able to figure things out —Trump wants to bring back opportunities for all.
almost all these switchers are former Repub campaign consultants.
Trump has shown how useless and expensive they are, so they are switching to Democrat because Dems still pay well for their worthless “advice”.
“Its part of the liberal media template.”
Exactly. Liars lie. And CNN lies more than most liars.
ANY Republican(Or so called Republican) that can take their little feet and walk to the polls to vote for Hillary Clinton, if she becomes President, let her go take their guns away..she wants to DISARM the American people yet these crybabies will be fine and dandy with her becoming President..fine, disarm them and see how they like them apples
He can be a registered Republican, but if he votes for — or even supports by not voting, etc. — Hillary Clinton, he can never again call himself “conservative” nor — even more notably — a defender and protector of the Constitution. He will have disgraced himself.
They fear damage to the Republican machine more than the damage Hillary would do to the nation.
Elmets' statement reeks of deceit (qualifies himself as a GOPer and says that 4 years of Hillary would be better than a day under Mister Trump)
Truth is that people who do not happen to care for Mister Trump are reluctantly supporting him, as they fear even one day under the most creepily corrupt and pathologically untruthful Hillary. (Guess how I know this case?)
