Top Jeb Bush adviser leaves GOP
Source: CNN/WPTZ
Jeb Bush's top adviser, Sally Bradshaw, has left the Republican Party to become an independent and says if the presidential race in Florida is close, she'll vote for Hillary Clinton.
Bradshaw, who's been close to the former Florida governor for decades and was senior adviser to his 2016 campaign, officially switched her registration to unaffiliated. She told CNN's Jamie Gangel in an email interview that the GOP is "at a crossroads and have nominated a total narcissist -- a misogynist -- a bigot."
"This is a time when country has to take priority over political parties. Donald Trump cannot be elected president," Bradshaw said.
The departure from the Republican Party of a Bush loyalist -- Bradshaw began her career working for George H.W. Bush's 1988 campaign -- is the latest sign of an influential and respected member of the GOP establishment turning against Trump.

(3,059 posts)she said she would not be voting for Trump. I think she was referring to voting either Hillary, Gary Johnson, or Jill Klein. I got the impression she'd vote for Gary Johnson, but if it looked like it was close, she'd go with Hillary to avoid shades of 2000.

(54,087 posts)But we can't read too much into it. It might just be a turn of phrase. Or she might be thinking about Gary Johnson. Or she might be, as a lifelong Republican, reluctant to vote for any Democrat (or even this particular Democrat) if she's gonna win anyway.

Not saying must embrace everything about the Democrats - but if the race is close and you are in the voting booth, vote for Hillary.
I like that. I will take the votes any legitimate way we can get them.

(26,371 posts)so it's hard for me to feel too sorry for them when the people whose prejudices they cultivated for years have now started acting on those prejudices.
It's like the old story about the man who murders his parents and then demands mercy on the grounds that he's an orphan.
This person, and David Brooks, and Max Boot, and the Kochs, and all the others now bewailing the fall of the GOP have only themselves to blame.

(22,785 posts)I agree, QC.
We don't need these monsters
With the blood dripping from their hands in our party.
