Meet the Clinton Republicans.
Just as Reagan Democrats emerged three decades ago to catapult Ronald Reagan to the White House, a crop of unexpected cross-party supporters has surfaced during this election cycle.
The steady trickle of Republicans coming out for Clinton have boosted her campaign and drawn attention to a divided GOP.
“Remember that term ‘Reagan Democrat?’” Adam Parkhomenko, the founder of the super-PAC Ready for Hillary wrote in a post on Twitter over the weekend. “Hearing a lot of ‘Clinton Republican’ nowadays.”
Republicans for Clinton include top GOP fundraiser and former tech executive Meg Whitman, former Michigan governor William Milliken, former MGM CEO and GOP donor Harry Sloan and retiring Rep. Richard Hanna (N.Y.).
