Posted by SelkirkTMO on Sat Jun 25 01:42:03 2016 Poor Olog ... looks like the only folks willing to endorse Trump are Putin and a handful of neo-nazis. And the endorsements of the semi-sane still keep rolling in for anyone but Trump. Republican ex-Treasury chief Paulson slams Trump, to vote for Clinton Henry Paulson, a Republican who was U.S. Treasury secretary during the 2008 financial meltdown, on Friday called a Donald Trump presidency "unthinkable" and said he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Paulson joins a growing list of establishment Republicans who say they will not cast a ballot in the Nov. 8 election for Trump, the party's presumptive nominee and a political neophyte whose populist rhetoric runs counter to many long-held Republican principles. "When it comes to the presidency, I will not vote for Donald Trump," Paulson, who was chief executive of Goldman Sachs before becoming Treasury chief under Republican President George W. Bush, wrote in an opinion piece in the Washington Post. "I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton, with the hope that she can bring Americans together to do the things necessary to strengthen our economy, our environment and our place in the world," he said. Paulson accused Trump, who has touted his business acumen as a real estate developer during his campaign, of taking "imprudent risk" and then disavowing his debts when ventures fail. He also took aim at Trump's opposition to trade agreements, which Paulson said have created U.S. jobs and fostered innovation and competitiveness. "Simply put, a Trump presidency is unthinkable," Paulson said. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Brent Scowcroft, a national security adviser to two Republican presidents, endorsed Clinton on Wednesday, and Richard Armitage, a deputy secretary of state under George W. Bush, said last week he would support her. Paulson, who helped steer a $700 billion bailout of the financial system through Congress during the financial meltdown, said Trump is a "phony" who is unfit to be president. "I can't help but think what would have happened if a divisive character such as Trump were president during the 2008 financial crisis, at a time when leadership, compromise and careful analysis were critical," he said. (Reporting by Eric Beech) --- Conservatism is far beyond a mental condition, it's not even treatable. |

He's the reason for the US's hyperinflation in 2011. |

Paulson, Scowcroft and Armitage won't have any influence in a Trump administration. They are going to where they might.Paulson, the former Goldman-Sachs CEO, knows that such influence has already been purchased. Scowcroft and Armitage are foreign policy types. The were influential during Bush Senior's tenure. They lost out to the neocons in Junior's administration. They are followers of the Kissinger school. The same Kissinger that Clinton much admires. |

RINOs were going to do that anyway. The Uniparty has only one candidate, as we all shall see.Conservatism has nothing to do with any of this. The Uniparty succeeded in pushing it out of DC, even going way back to the 70s. But you'll wish for it once you see what these lefties do far beyond Obama. |
