WOW! UnBelievable!

[Light63]

My father-in-law is as much a Republican as any Republican can be. He has always voted Republican straight across, no matter who the Republican candidate is.

On our way to visit my college daughter this afternoon, I had a talk with him about the current primaries, and he told me that for the first time in his life, he will vote for a Democrat this November. He will vote for Hillary. He said with the current treacherous time and what is going on in the world, none of the other candidates have the experience, knowledge, and what it takes to be the POTUS. Although his political view is totally different from Hillary, but he has a lot of respect for her, and he admitted that he feel much safer and more secure for our country if Hillary is the President. In addition, by the fact that Bernie used the ploy to wait by the door to shake the Pope's hand to fool Catholic voters, Sanders does not have the pride and the integrity to be the Presisent of the United States.

Just few days before, my Republican priest told me the same thing. He will vote for Hillary. He said Trump nor Cruz nor Sanders possesses the integrity, the resolve, the experience, and the knowledge that Hillary has.

I have a hunch that many Republicans will vote for Hillary this November.

[shenmue]

1. Yay!

[brush]

2. Woohoo! He actually said that about Sanders waiting by the door to meet the Pope to fool Catholics?

Well that answers how that whole Vatican trip stunt is being perceived by many voters.

[Thinkingabout]

3. I was told the same thing this week by a life time Republican

It is going to fall on Hillary, she will not let us down. For those who call her names like dino, she will work for them also.

[Her Sister]

4. WOOOOHooooo!! Nice!

Thanks for sharing!!


My sister and I are voting on Tuesday but as a Republican she doesn't like any of her choices! Kasich seems saner but just as wacked about female birth-control rights as the others.

In November, she will be voting for HRC in the General! YAY!! Thinks she is just the smartest, most qualified and sanest of them all!!!

[Haveadream]

5. Thank you for sharing that news!

Of course she will win. She has proven herself to be a calm, thoughtful, responsible and capable leader. None of the other candidates come close. So many people see it.

As for Sanders, that whole Vatican Vacation was incredibly shady. Glad to hear we weren't the only ones who picked up on it!

[Light63]

6. Yes. He took such pleasure at the part...

When the Pope mentioned about "the psychiatrist." He laughed at Sanders for foolishly pulling that political stunt. Even if he is a Democrat, he still will not vote for Bernie. Both of us are Catholic.

[fleabiscuit]

7. Most excellent. eom

[athena]

8. They will be called Hillary Republicans

after Hillary wins in a landslide.

[Fla Dem]

9. Great story and what we have all known about HRC and millions of others as well.

[redstateblues]

10. Yep. Hillary's supporters are not out at the big venues. Her supporters quietly know she is more qualified.

They are not out cheering as some proxy lies about her opponents. Bernie is off the rails-his Hail Mary ambush was a pathetic
gambit to move the needle in the NY Primary. Do they really think they fooled anyone except the acolytes? I'll bet that was Tad Devine's idea. I will do my best not to gloat Tuesday night.

[LiberalFighter]

16. They spend their energy and time making sure to vote.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Hillary's supporters don't need a circus, pots & pans and dancing pandas.

Better still - we actually SHOW UP to vote.

[SunSeeker]

21. Hillary supporters work. They have families.

They don't have the free time to spend hours at a rally or stalking people's houses if they had the nerve to do a Dem fundraiser.

But we support Hillary and we VOTE.

[Her Sister]

33. Which is why we need real solutions

and a real DOER!

[sheshe2]

11. Boom!

Awesome.

[Kath1]

12. Right on!

Glad your FIL has seen the light.

That is a sweet story. Feel free to come around. We're cool here.

[DemonGoddess]

13. I've heard

similar things from Republicans I also know, for much the same reasons. I'm the only Catholic in the bunch, and a Democrat, which is kind of funny.

[Cary]

14. The last number I saw was 12% of Republicans will vote for HRC

By contrast only 5% of "Democrats" will vote for Trump.

Alleged Democrats.

[LiberalFighter]

15. I had a salesperson I do business with annually tell me

that he doesn't know what he is going to do. And for the first time tell me that he is a Republican. He knew I was a Democrat because I deliver work to his printing company for the Democratic Party.

He is not happy with the available choices on the Republican side.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

24. My ultra- repub brother is not voting. Can't stand any of the rep candidates.

[DesertFlower]

18. i have a friend who's an independent but

leans more toward the GOP. he said he'll probably vote for hillary.

[Lucinda]

19. I've been hearing the same in my world.

Works for me!

[Cha]

20. I'm really curious about the part of BS "waiting by the door.." how did he know that, Light?

Is the news out in the mainstream media on that? 'Cause that would be great.

Thank you so much for your personal account.. I bet you were happily surprised!

[SunSeeker]

22. My husband's Republican golf buddy is terrified about the GOP choices.

He told my husband he may end up voting for Hillary. He has a business that employs about 100 people, including a lot of his family. He thinks all of the GOP contenders are such incompetent fools that they will tank the economy and hurt his business--and his family.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

23. My 75 year old, lifetime republican, former minister, neighbor...

Just put a Hillary bumper sticker on his car.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw it.

If she wins in a landslide, think the press will FINALLY begin to speak positively about her?

[Surya Gayatri]

26. Nah, that would be asking TOO much. Just watch her win. That's vindication enough!

[HillareeeHillaraah]

29. I love the sound of the word, "landslide"

It just trips off the tongue, n'est-ce pas?

[Surya Gayatri]

30. And, a real one looks and sounds SO convincing...

EPIC LANDSLIDE CAPTURED ON VIDEO IN FRENCH ALPS APRIL 19, 2013

[HillareeeHillaraah]

31. Wow, the power of Nature and time at work!

Looks like no one was injured, hope that was the case~

Slightly off topic but....

Might just be my perception, but that rock and shadow outcrop as the camera panned right?

Looked just like FDR in sillouette!

[Surya Gayatri]

32. Missed that ...it sure does!

IIRC, no-one was hurt, just structures damaged and destroyed.

[riversedge]

25. Wise choices. Thanks for the story

[Surya Gayatri]

27. Did your FIL REALLY say this? Wow, just wow...

"...by the fact that Bernie used the ploy to wait by the door to shake the Pope's hand to fool Catholic voters, Sanders does not have the pride and the integrity to be the President of the United States."

I'm stunned. Has the bogus BFF Pope ploy really percolated down to the man in the street?

What a complete campaign catastrophe. And, he's got his duped disciples still sending in the bucks to pay for THIS.

[Light63]

36. To be the President

of the most powerful country in the world, you must carry the pride and the integrity of your nation. Even as a presidential candidate, you still have that responsibility.

By the fact that you'd strategized to have an abrupt encounter with the Pope to woo Catholic voters, (1) you have used the Pope for your own political benefit, (2) you have played with the faith and the love that Catholic voters have for the Pope, and (3) you have hurt your nation's pride and integrity with your Kim-Davis-like ploy and pandering to the Pope. Well, for this Democratic Catholic, your ploy did not work. For my Republican Catholic father-in-law, not only that your foolish strategy did not work, he now will vote for your rival, just because for one wholistic reason according to him:

Hillary is MUCH MORE qualified for the most powerful position in the US than you, Trump, and Cruz.

[griffi94]

28. Clear thinking voters from all parties

will vote for Hillary.
The only other options are inexperienced unprepared idealists and zealots
from both ends of the political specrum.

The majority of Americans who are working and raising families and pretty much
dealing with reality won't vote for untried unexplained potentially catastrophic candidates.

[mainstreetonce]

34. My friend who is a financial advisor

Told me the same thing. There is no
Republican this year. He has never voted for a Democrat. He will vote for Hillary.

[kstewart33]

35. Thank you for your post.

Very encouraging!

[otohara]

37. For Every Bro Who Pledges

Bernie or Bust - there's not insane Republican's who will vote for Hillary.
I would bet GOP women will come out in droves.
