Clexit

I predict there will be a flood of staunch Republicans who find Trump to be so dangerous that they will cross for Hillary. Don't think for a minute that it's because they support anything she stands for. They don't. They believe that only by effectively delivering a humiliating loss to Trump will they be able to save the party.

There was some discussion about this on a show but I didn't pay enough attention to get a name. The guy, a reporter/author, surveyed a number of prominent repubs and got the same story time after time. His findings, whether they told him they'd vote for Hillary or not -and many did!- was that Turnip had to suffer a humiliating level of defeat.

We're already seeing some go public, either going so far as to recommend Clinton, or just to rebuke the repub party's choice of Trump.

Just watch it.

There are beautiful photos in the short clip and Barney's moving remarks really drive home why Hillary has the support that she does.

Makes me feel so proud of her

To be fair, CNN waited 4 whole days before hiring Trump's Lewandowski

The Most Busted Name In News...

CNN is hiring former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski, who was fired from the campaign earlier this week, allegedly manhandled a reporter, and news outlets have reported he’s made “unwanted romantic advances” and “sexually suggestive and at times vulgar comments to -- and about -- female journalists.” He was also “accused of pushing a CNN reporter.” [Media Matters, 6/23/16; CNN.com, 6/23/16]
....
CNN Previously Reported That Lewandowski Likely Signed “A Nondisclosure Agreement, So He Cannot Disparage” Trump. CNN senior Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny reported on June 20: “Anyone who works for the Trump campaign signs a nondisclosure agreement, so he cannot disparage or anything like that at all, not that he might be inclined to.” [Media Matters, 6/23/16]
...
CNN’s Stelter: Lewandowski Hiring “Is Bound To Be Controversial, Even Within The Newsroom.” CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter reported of Lewandowski’s hiring:

Lewandowski's hiring by CNN is bound to be controversial, even within the newsroom, in part because he was accused of assaulting a reporter, Michelle Fields, after a Trump press conference in March. He was later cleared of any charges.

More broadly, the Trump campaign's hostility toward the press has been widely criticized by journalism advocates.

But Lewandowski, in his new role as a regular guest who will be exclusive to CNN, brings the same thing some of CNN's other paid commentators bring: first-hand experience running a presidential campaign. [CNN.com, 6/23/16]

Endorsement or no, for Sanders not to divorce himself from Philly protests helps Trump

By not speaking forcefully against these preparations, Sanders is endorsing them and not the nominee. If he gets near a stage at the convention, I'll be surprised.

This group is so afield, they think the appropriate place to protest $ in politics and voting rights is the DEMOCRATIC convention! Dems have a bill in the Senate right now -not one of Sanders' mind you, oh no!- to combat Citizens United. And it's Republicans who stifle voting rights. How lost can one dormant campaign get?!

Worst of all they are actually training "hassle lines". We saw these outside some of Hillary's events already-

You may also be familiar with this tactic if you've ever escorted a friend or a loved one to a family planning center

Blowhards and dead enders all, all tied into Sanders via surrogates like his nurses-

Their whole feed is bilious counterproductivity. And it is only thinly removed from the Bernie Sanders Campaign-
