Meet the Republican Women Flocking to Hillary Clinton

Meghan Milloy grew up in southern Mississippi, in one of the deepest-red corners of a reliably Republican state. In high school, she founded the Teenage Republicans club and campaigned for George W. Bush in New Hampshire. In college, she interned in the Bush White House. Today, she works at a right-leaning nonprofit in Washington, D.C. during the day, but for the last several months in her spare time, she works toward a new goal: helping to elect Hillary Clinton as president.

"We just aired our concerns and said, 'Let’s do this.' And we're just all in. It was just a very encouraging experience for so many of us to be on the same page."

This week, a trio of high-profile Republican women offered their full-throated support to Clinton amid the continuing fallout from Donald Trump's criticism of a Gold Star mom. On Monday, Sally Bradshaw, a top adviser to Jeb Bush, confirmed she formally switched her party affiliation from Republican to independent. The party, Bradshaw told CNN, is "at a crossroads and have nominated a total narcissist — a misogynist — a bigot."

Imagine how many more we will pick up before it's over, if we were able to gain not just her vote, but her public commitment?

STRONGER TOGETHER. And by together I mean ALL sane people!

Cheeto is not an option.
