For chrissakes, how many RED FLAGS do you Trump supporters need? Sure the unredeemable deplorables are a lost cause, but there's got to be a few sensibles out there......

Former ambassadors back Clinton in letter saying Trump ‘comforted our enemies


STATEMENT BY FORMER CAREER AMBASSADORS AND SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS

The undersigned have each previously served the people of the United States as career diplomats in our nation’s Foreign and Civil Services. We have each had the privilege of being nominated by the President, and confirmed by the United States Senate, to represent our nation abroad and at the highest levels of our foreign policy and security organizations.

Together, we have represented the United States as ambassadors in 52 countries or international organizations. We have hundreds of years of combined service.
As career officers, we have served every President since Harry Truman, and have proudly represented every President since Richard Nixon as ambassadors or senior State Department officials in Senate-confirmed positions. We have served Republican and Democratic Presidents with pride and enthusiasm.
None of us will vote for Donald J. Trump.
Each of us endorses Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Because the stakes in this election are so high, this is the first time many of us have publicly endorsed a candidate for President.

They made it past high school, so obviously they're not to be trusted.

Yeah, I'm sure the guy who worked for Truman is still bucking for a promotion.

YEAH How much value can you give any current Gov. employee that is still suckling off Uncle Sams teat.


Hasn't anyone of these ambassadors ever heard of Benghazi? Why do they think that Clinton wouldn't hang them out to die if saving them would cause her possible political fallout.

Former ambassadors know more about Benghazi and the State Department than you do. Because they do know more than the average citizen they are in a perfect position to see how the Benghazi attack has been used and abused by the Republican party to smear Clinton for things beyond her control.

So lets see. Trump will completely clear out all the General Officers in all of our branches of the military and he'll not use any of the current members of the CIA, FBI, and now State Department.

Krispy Christie, head of the transitional team, will have a lot of work to do in getting all of these department staffed with experienced professionals while also defending himself in court over Bridgegate.

This should be fun to watch if the country goes that route 8 November.

I'll be grabbing a lot of popcorn watching this mess for four years.

Hopefully my former colleagues in military will stay safe if Trump gets into the WH.

Each and every one of the Ambassadors can easily find work in the private sector - even academia. I'm pretty sure they'd make a ton more than what civil servants make nowadays.

I posted a similar list of Republican Senators, Representatives and Governors that are voting for Clinton. It is these endorsements that erase any remaining doubts about the suitability of Trump as POTUS. No matter how much the Trump supporters twist and turn and spin they can't show credibility once they are faced with the fact that so many conservatives have commited to Clinton. So they are forced into making more and more ludicrous claims, forced to go even further out on the looney-toon fringe to make their case.

There you have it.

In any case, Trump knows more about international relations than all those ambassadors.
