Hillary is the establishment candidate. These republicans, and just as many dems are on the same team. The same team the Bushes and Obama and the Clintons and Cheney are on.
That would be one way to look at it; to assume this is part of a "establishment conspiracy". Most rational people are going to look at this and draw a different conclusion; namely that it is eye-opening that this many conservatives are voting against Trump. Always a few outliers in any election; but this is completely unprecedented. This trend says a lot more than any number of posts on this forum or in the Twittersphere.
I thought this was common knowledge. I don't understand why posts continually pop up about Republicans voting for Clinton.
It's annoying the way these posts keep "popping up" isn't it? I had no idea we had this many prominent Republicans voting for Clinton. You always have a few jumping ship in any election but this is totally unprecedented.

Not really. A lot of us realized the system was a sham before corrupt Republicans exposed themselves. Which is why Trump is doing so well.
For example, Bush Sr. (who only got elected due to the popularity of Reagan) quickly revealed himself to be an establishment NWO president and only served one term because Americans reject that ideology.
We were not going to let another Bush in, which is why the predetermined Republican candidate Jeb! was rejected during the primaries. These Republicans are just stepping forward to confirm what we already knew, so it is not unprecedented, it is predictable.
Here's a handy reference of some prominent Republicans that have declared that they are voting for Hillary Clinton. Senators, Representatives, Governors - even a former Republican President. I am curious; how do Trump supporters explain this? Seems there are quite a few cold stone sober conservatives that are willing to go on public record that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton will be a better POTUS than Donald Trump.

I will start by asking you where you got this crazy list? and second, do you realize a huge number of Republicans on this list are anything but conservatives or even middle of the road. The article states these have indicated they are voting for Hillary; this is very different from saying: they are voting for her. In fact a few have simply said they would not support him, not they were supporting her: not quite the same.
Here's a handy reference of some prominent Republicans that have declared that they are voting for Hillary Clinton. Senators, Representatives, Governors - even a former Republican President. I am curious; how do Trump supporters explain this? Seems there are quite a few cold stone sober conservatives that are willing to go on public record that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton will be a better POTUS than Donald Trump.

that's it????? 55 people! 40% to 45% of Bernie Supporters will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton, that is the bigger story.
Trump can win without these establishment Republicans, Hillary can't win with just 55% of support of Bernie Supporters, that is a fact.
You think the "500+ paid Hillary internet trolls" forced these Republicans to commit to Clinton? Not quite following your logic here.
not legit: Just because wiki says it, doesn't make it true. I think there are a couple on the list that say they will not vote for Trump but have not publically endorsed Hillary as the article indicates.
Big list of globalists who are a big part of the corrupt government we have. We know they were Rino's.. Republican in name only. It took Trump to weed them out for all to see ..
It's annoying the way these posts keep "popping up" isn't it? I had no idea we had this many prominent Republicans voting for Clinton. You always have a few jumping ship in any election but this is totally unprecedented.
To call them "prominent" is a bit of a stretch. Greedy career minded globalists seems more apt.
Hillary is the establishment candidate. These republicans, and just as many dems are on the same team. The same team the Bushes and Obama and the Clintons and Cheney are on.
I knew the word "establishment" would come up! In this case, it just refers to politicians with experience, who have an idea of how to run a country - unlike Trump - and who therefore are rightfully aware that Trump would be a disaster who would have no idea what he's doing.
To call them "prominent" is a bit of a stretch. Greedy career minded globalists seems more apt.
Well quite a few are Senators, Representative, Governors. I understand that such a list makes the Trump camp pretty uncomfortable. Would be better not to talk about this. Or to spin up some way to discount it.
