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. […]

Henry Paulson, a RINO who was U.S. Treasury secretary during the 2008 financial meltdown
Obviously a spell-check substitution error in the original!!!
Is it any wonder that UK chose BREXIT???

See how she responds. See how the left responds. Will Paulson respond by repudiating his own work? Not his fault? Only following orders?
If nothing else, we could have fun with it by putting them on a hot seat.
Yessiree, Bob!
I read somewhere that he also forced banks to take TARP money. I don’t recall where I read it unfortunately.
yeahhhh the a-clown who presided over Treaury for the 2008 meltdown is a great judge of leadership, knowledge, insight etc.
Paulson is one of the worst govt officials in history! He should be ashamed to offer his opinions to anyone about anything political or economic.
well said! We are seeing the Uniparty exposed.... Central to the wrecking of our economy in 2008-09. Paulson is worth $700 million!! Wall St. whore who was infiltrated into our Dept of Treasury. We can’t get rid of these a-clowns fast enough.
There is noise coming out of Scotland about vetoing BREXIT. Lots of posturing about supposedly refusing legislative consent. You may find this article and associated comments of interest.
