I’m a Republican, and I’m with Hillary Clinton

SNIP
"I have watched this election unfold, from that first press conference where the population of an entire country was cast as insulting to our core.
This led to a neverending spiral of vulgarity, intellectual dishonesty, invective, abuse, misogyny, racism, intolerance, bullying, ignorance and downright cruelty. The fact that the person unleashing these forces, reflecting beliefs and biases that we had long ago identified as at odds with the Founding Fathers’ principle of ordered liberty was a member of my party, was at first cause for irritation evolving into alarm and frustration and finally arriving at a sobering moment of embarrassment"..

"This abysmally unfit candidate has unleased racist and violent acts.
There has been no need for dog whistles.
The call to brand entire religions and countries as unworthy and despicable, and the call for profoundly un-American practices, including asking the honorable men and women serving our country in the military to engage in the profoundly dishonorable task of torturing human beings and killing innocent families, has been open and unequivocal.
The very worst in our society, the Klan and the neo-Nazis, revel in this horrific rhetoric.
