Balloons dropped on the convention floor as the event came to a close.
An Iowa native — a Republican — was among the speakers last night at the Democratic National Convention. Doug Elmets once worked as an intern for Senator Chuck Grassley and he worked in the Reagan White House as a speechwriter.
..................
Elmets, who grew up in Des Moines, said he’ll vote for Hillary Clinton because he shudders to think what Trump would do as president.
.............................
Elmets told the crowd of Democrats the Republican Party’s 2016 platform was laced with “alarming…anti-immigrant, anti-gay and anti-women positions that do not represent the views of most Americans.”
He offered this analysis of the GOP’s presidential nominee:”Trump is a petulant, dangerously unbalanced reality star who will coddle tyrants and alienate allies.”
