Re: I Won't Do It
And yet another leaves the Trump sinking ship.
Ex-top Christie aide backs Clinton over Trump
Just a few of her comments
"As someone who has worked to further the Republican Party's principles for the last 15 years I believe that we are at a moment where silence isn't an option. We are here today in part because as a party in the past we have remained silent when things have made us uncomfortable. Instead of speaking out against instances of bigotry, racism and inflammatory rhetoric whether it's been against women, immigrants or Muslims, we made a calculus that it was better to say nothing at all in the interest of politics and winning elections. For me, if our party has a future, we have to change that trajectory and lead by example."We have to stop thinking that winning at any cost is more important than governing principles. It should be the job of the Republican Party's nominee to set a tone worthy of being the leader of the free world and not give into our worst instincts. I don't care if it's good politics or not."

Why would she have to tell her kids who she voted for at all? My parents never told me who they voted for, and it doesn't really matter to me. -The Man
At a guess, the 'look my kids in the eye' statement was pure theater. My parents never told me who they voted for either and I can recall any time in my childhood where someone apologized for Nixon. 
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

I'm thinking that as well. When Bradshaw speaks of "her kids", she is speaking metaphorically. She is actually speaking of facing herself and her conscience.
Just as an aside, am I the only one here who talks politics with their kids?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: I Won't Do It
No kids here but it would depend on their age and level of interest.
Seems a good idea if they're old enough to understand.

Re: I Won't Do It
ONE MORE leaves the sinking ship !
GOP congressman says he can't support Trump: 'I'm an American before I'm a Republican'
"I'm saying for me personally, how can I support that? Because he's crossed so many red lines that a commander in chief or a candidate for commander in chief should never cross."

Ex-Reagan political director supports Clinton over Trump

"It might not be entirely clear that Hillary Clinton deserves to win the presidency, but it is thunderingly clear that Donald Trump deserves to lose"

Re: I Won't Do It
George W. Bush administration official announces support for Clinton over Trump
Lezlee Westine, a former aide to President George W. Bush, will support Hillary Clinton for president.
Westine, who served as the Bush administration's White House Director of Public Liaison and deputy assistant to the president, is one of several Republican figures to publicly announce their support for Clinton in recent weeks.
“Our nation faces a unique set of challenges that require steady and experienced leadership," Westine said in a statement. "That is why today I am personally supporting Hillary Clinton.
"She has the expertise and commitment to American values to grow the economy, create jobs and protect America at home and abroad," she said.
Westine did not say why she would not support Trump.
She joins a growing list of conservatives in the business, foreign policy and political spheres who have come out in support of Clinton.
On Sunday, the political director in the Reagan administration — Frank Lavin — wrote in a commentary for CNN that he could not support Republican nominee Donald Trump and would vote for Clinton instead.
"Trump falls short in terms of the character and behavior needed to perform as president," Lavin wrote. "This defect is crippling and ensures he would fail in office."
