Latina Former Bush Treasurer Endorses Clinton, Blasts Trump

Source: BuzzFeed

A top former Bush administration official has endorsed Hillary Clinton, warning that Donald Trump is a “perilous” threat to the country.

Rosario Marin, appointed as the first Mexican-born person to serve as United States Treasurer by George W. Bush and a fixture of five Republican presidential campaigns, endorsed Clinton in a Univision op-ed Wednesday morning.

“I will stand up for my community against the menace of a tyrannical presidency that does not value the countless contributions of immigrants,” Marin writes. “There is too much at stake both domestically and abroad to have a thoughtless individual at the helm of the most important economy in the world.”

Despite often disagreeing with and criticizing Clinton, Marin said that the Democratic nominee understands that words spoken from the White House have consequences, and that sarcasm is not a strategy for dealing with delicate global situations — a reference to Trump’s recent comments that he was being sarcastic when he said President Obama was the founder of ISIS.

.... 1988 HW Bush's Willy Horton act will not play anymore. White people are not
the majority anymore and trying to make people afraid of the blacks and mexicans
will not win a national election.

It looks good that Hillary will win by a lot and we may well reclaim the Senate.

However will the hard core detached from reality Trump base accept it?

Right wing foaming at the mouth radicals are a danger here just like ISIS etc. They are twisted crazy and armed to the teeth.
