(CNN)Jeb Bush's top adviser, Sally Bradshaw, has left the Republican Party to become an independent, and says if the presidential race in Florida is close, she'll vote for Hillary Clinton.
Here is what I don't freakin' understand. A few top Republicans are leaving the party, and saying that they will vote for Hillary Clinton. Why don't they vote for Gary Johnson instead, since his views are much closer to theirs?
This needs discussion, because the LP now represents what Republicans used to be. Why are they being kicked to the curb by Republicans who, rather than joining the LP, choose to hop onto the Hillary bus and run the LP over?

The only thing I can think of, is that they desire the attention, with the exception of a few like George Will who I believe is sincere. This guy? Attention whore, maybe? I seriously doubt that when he's in that voting booth, that he "pulls the lever" for Hillary.
As for me, I've finally gotten to the point of changing my registration. I haven't done it yet, but plan to before November. The last straw for me, was when I read the current GOP platform.
EDIT: oh yeah, all the crap from the GOP in the NC legislature has just embarrassed the hell out of me and pissed my the hell off that they are that ignorant and hateful. So, there's that, too, that helped me make my decision.

Seems they are mad their candidate Jeb got decimated in the primaries. Kind of like when the kid who brought the Nintendo over would unplug it and take it home if you beat him.
Because, most likely, his views are NOT closer to theirs.Here is what I don't freakin' understand. A few top Republicans are leaving the party, and saying that they will vote for Hillary Clinton. Why don't they vote for Gary Johnson instead, since his views are much closer to theirs?

Maybe they watched the libertarian debate and felt like arguing over the civil rights act, driver's licenses, and roads were fringe positions. The LP made itself look very stupid.Here is what I don't freakin' understand. A few top Republicans are leaving the party, and saying that they will vote for Hillary Clinton.

I don't buy that. I truly believe that Trump is a disaster in the making.
New registration is now LP, I hope.
So she will vote for clinton only if close? doesn't make sense. So Trump is okay if she knows he will lose but if he might win she will vote for clinton? Someone please explain that logic.
It seems strange to me that they would vote for Clinton, who we know will be a disaster.
Right now I'm leaning toward independent, since we don't have a "none of the above" party in my state. I do like a number of the positions of the LP, but they had a short fat Viking looking guy get naked on stage at their party convention while he gave his speach. *shutters*

And JEB! Bush wouldn't have been?
Jeb Bush would never have mocked and insulted a Gold Star Family.
She is the Jeb Whisperer, the power behind the throne.
Though Jeb Bush’s campaign for president had a shakeup before it even officially became a campaign, one aspect of Jeb World remains as clear as ever: Sally Bradshaw is running the show

He probably feels the way many others do, that a sociopathic madman with a campaign manager who used to be a fluffer for the ousted Ukrainian president, puppet of Moscow, would be such a grievous injury to this nation that he wanted to put his vote toward a person who he may have major problems with, but is undoubtedly an extremely knowledgeable and well qualified candidate, with extensive foreign and domestic policy experience.
A vote for the LP is fine with me, but the LP has no chance to win the presidency at this time, and all it does is give people an opportunity to tell themselves that they aren't responsible for whatever happens in the future under either of the two major party candidates. That's okay too. I threw up my hands in 2008 and refused to vote for a charming empty suit with a great smile or the Bush-lite/Bubble-brain ticket, voting for neither. However, neither candidate scared the crap out of me the way Trump does.
If that's anyone's choice I respect it. But if Trump wins, Putin grins, and suddenly we have a man in the WH who has repeatedly proven his global ignorance on an epic scale. :shrug:
