A high-profile Republican will officially endorse Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, the Democratic nominee's campaign announced Tuesday evening.

Former Navy secretary and Sen. John Warner is set to back Clinton Wednesday morning, adding his name to the list of conservatives who have picked the Obama Cabinet member over Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Ah, John Warner. I vaguely remember him. Wasn’t he married to an elderly actress?

Oh, yes. He was directly involved in sabotaging Ollie North’s run for Senate in Virginia. RINO extraordinaire.

Well, after all he was married to Liz Taylor at one time. Would that make him high? Higher?

This will help Trump in Virginia. People are sick to death of John Warner and his type of GOP establishment career politicians and what they represent. Dinosaurs who need to be turned out to pasture. John Warner has been the single most destructive factor in the unification of all factions of the Virginia GOP.

He’s almost 90 years old.

I notice it’s not the Republicans who are likely to ever run for office again who are doing this.

John Warner also stabbed Ollie North in the back in 1994 with his endorsement of Charles Robb (D) in that Senate race. Warner also voted against convicting Bubba during the Senate vote following impeachment.

John Warner is almost 90 years old!

Is this the best the democrats can do? An Octogenarian who is almost a Nonagenarian?

Nothing against those with advanced age, but come on! AND this guy just about invented the RINO...

Once you reach a certain age, you don’t care about what people think about you, but then, your legacy—now and after death—gets tarnished.

Sen John Warner is not a conservative, hell, he could barely be described as “moderate”.

Trump will rise in the polls as a result of this RINO’s endorsement.

In a way, though, this is good in that it shows who supports Hillary and why. These are all old-line, inside-the-beltway, business-as-usual establishment types. IOW, the past. Hillary represents the past, the old way of doing business. The polls show 70% of the public thinks the country is headed in the wrong direction and Hillary and these other old-timers will do nothing to change that. The country is headed in the wrong direction and it is these old-liners that have put us on that course. Trump must hammer the connection of Hillary to the old way of doing things that the public seems to hate.

He married into wealth and then (by substantial campaign contributions) bought his appointment as Nixon's Secretary of the Navy.

He then divorced that wife to marry into celebrity, by becoming Mr. Elizabeth Taylor (the actress's 6th) to mount a bid for GOP nomination to the VA Senate. He lost because he was too liberal, but the GOP winner died in a plane crash (sound familiar?) and Warner replaced him and then won the Senate seat.

Exactly the type of RINO we would expect to back Clinton!

The establishment, good old boy club is about to take a hit. Trump is rocking their boat. This isn’t a surprise. Politicians gonna do what they gonna do to keep the big bucks rolling in. Remember, it’s these “high-profile Republicans” that go us into this mess.

Isn’t John Warner the one that was married to Elizabeth Taylor at one time? You call that good taste? Sounds to me like old Warner knows where the ‘sauce’ is...

A Traitor thread should be running through November 8 so we know all their names by heart.

Yet another traitorous, wretched piece of GOP filth.
