Henry Paulson, a Republican who was U.S. Treasury secretary during the 2008 financial meltdown, on Friday called a Donald Trump presidency “unthinkable” and said he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Paulson joins a growing list of establishment Republicans who say they will not cast a ballot in the Nov. 8 election for Trump, the party’s presumptive nominee and a political neophyte whose populist rhetoric runs counter to many long-held Republican principles. […]
“I’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton, with the hope that she can bring Americans together to do the things necessary to strengthen our economy, our environment and our place in the world,” he said.
Paulson accused Trump, who has touted his business acumen as a real estate developer during his campaign, of taking “imprudent risk” and then disavowing his debts when ventures fail. …

LOL! The worst economic meltdown since the great depression happened right under Paulson’s nose. He was Secretary of Treasury from July 10, 2006 to January 20, 2009. I would want his endorsement like I would want leprosy.
He was clueless. He is Wall Street. He is globalization. He is much of the problem.
One among many gangsters who engineered the Obama presidency.
My wife and I did 2 days after the caucus theft in Maine.
You nailed it, marron.
The GOP good old boy’s club is collapsing. They are now counting on Clintoon to be their savior and “fight” for them. Remember Benghazi!
They have organized every day to the convention, one new globalist establishment republican for each day to support Hillary. (my guess is Romney is the organizer)
you mean goldman-Sucks that paragon of virtue organization that Heidi Cruz is part of?
Plutocracy
Collectivism
New World Order
Globalism
Council on Foreign Relations
Bohemian Grove
Bilderburg Conference
this is the faceless cabal we are really up against. The politicans and left wing nuts are just useful idiots to them.
When Bush appointed Paulson, the establishment praised Bush for reaching across the aisle to select a Democrat for Treasury in the spirit of bi-partisanship.
Of course, Paulson has never been R nor D. He has always been in the GS party..the GoldmanSachs party. Everything he did as Treasury Secretary ignored the American people, ignored main street, ignored homeowners, ignored buisness owners. It was 100% to benefit GS.
They hated Reagan then. They hate Reagan now. Nothing has changed. They pay Reagan lip service to appeal to the base, but they are as sincere as a six year old being made to apologize to his sister.....
It is going to be those who want to work voting trump, welfare salves for the Hildabeast.
Taking names of all those willing to vote for a woman who broke the law, put national security at risk, lied to Congress and left men to die in Benghazi.
Now serving #109,278 for TREASON.
UniParty eunuch
Paul$on for prison.
Speaking of debt…
Another debt slavemaster supporting a crony socialist/totalitarian/criminal.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
9. The management of a great funded debt and a extensive system of taxes will afford a plea, not to be neglected, for establishment of a great incorporated bank. the use of such a machine is well understood. If the Constitution, according to its fair meaning, should not authorize it, so much the better. Push it through by a forced meaning and you will get in the bargain an admirable precedent for future misconstructions.
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

If we loose because of these establishment assbutts ... I am so through with voting Republican! Anyway it won’t matter it the beast gets in .. republican and Democrat all the same. We will become a banana republic socialist country. With the Supreme Court being ruled by liberals scary thought but that is reality!
Several years ago, I think it was 2009, I went to a private seminar where this ass hole spoke. A very small group of people in a small room at the Houston Westside Omni. I still have my notes from the meeting. I might go back and find them in one of my journals one day.
He would have had to improve to have been a good speaker and he would have had to improve a lot more to have had anything useful to say.
I would have to have a much better opinion to be disappointed and not have felt my time was wasted.
Oops lose
This election really is about the elites v. the masses. The elites have the press on their side and are able to spin things. Quite a daunting challenge to overcome this.
Yes, nailed it well.
Thanks.
I remember Paulson getting rolled by Nancy Pelosi. She conned him and had him on his knees begging her. He went from macho Wall Street to p***y DC hack in a matter of minutes.
Henry Paulson is 70 years old. It’s time for HIM to hit the “retired” circuit.
Realize that trump is also 70. I’m certain you don’t want him to retire based on his birthday.
