WASHINGTON — Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel couldn’t believe the divisive talk he heard from most of the GOP presidential candidates in this week’s debate.

“They’re all about coming to Washington and just ripping this place down,” Hagel said Thursday.

He singled out Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as exceptions to his critique, but said there was too much of the no-compromise rhetoric associated with the Tea Party movement from the others.

“Look at what that’s produced,” Hagel said. “We can’t govern. I’m astounded by that. It’s my party and I’m astounded by that.”

3. Hagel is one of those who will cast a "crossover" vote for Hillary next november

I think she'll pick up enough of those to make up for the liberals who stay home rather than vote for more war, privatization, drilling, and for-profit healthcare and education.
