First House Republican announces he's voting for Hillary Clinton
2016-08-03
[Chicago Tribune] New York Rep. Richard Hanna on Tuesday became the first Republican member of Congress to back Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Tallyrand ...
, citing his discomfort with GOP standard-bearer Donald Trump.

"He is unfit to serve our party and cannot lead this country," Hanna said about Trump in an op-ed for Syracuse.com.

Hanna's move came after a day of growing tension between Trump and top House Republican Paul Ryan
...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies...
, who told donors that a candidate "can't just run a vague platitude election, hopefully win a personality contest, and then try to bring in transformational, once-in-a-generation reform to an unsuspecting country." Ryan refrained from saying Trump's name during his remarks.
A historian friend observed recently that the two main parties are realigning. Who they will come to represent remains to be seen.

#5  Vague platitudes? Jeebus did anyone suffer Obama's ramble yesterday? He talks of platitudes like Norway talks of fjords.

And Hanna, you are still on the Clinton Enemy List (TM) and always will be.

#3  Looks like the Republican party is going to self-purge itself of all of the RINOs. They are so afraid of the Trumpster they are running to momma and blowing their cover.

Congratulations to Congressman Hanna on waking from his coma of the last eight years.
