Former State Department diplomats sign a letter saying they endorse Hillary Clinton and refuse to vote for Donald Trump.

Look at some of the names on this letter in the link. They are famous Neocons who are now supporting Hillary Clinton. We all know that Trump is a pretty evil guy, but not enough has been said about Hillary. If you really believe that she is in the race for the little guy, then you have had the wool pulled over your eyes. Look at her resume. She was on the Board of Directors for Walmart, for Christ sake.

Hillary Clinton is a well known Neoliberal. The difference between Neoconservatives and Neoliberals is that Neocons prefer to bomb third would nations into submission, while Neolibs prefer to use the banking system to starve third world nations into submission. Both philosophises involve slashing and burning third world nations, albeit by different methods. But Hillary's Neoliberalism has a twist to it. She is willing to use bombing, as well as banking, in order to advance "American exceptionalism", and the bullying of third world nations.

Yes, Trump is evil, and so are many in his "basket of deporables" But don't think for a second that nobody in Clinton's camp is deplorable. They definitely are.

What we, the American People, have been brainwashed into is that we must vote for the lesser of 2 evils. But the lesser of 2 evils is still evil, and until the American people recognize that, and start voting outside the 2 party system, there is no hope for us. America will become known as an experiment in democracy which lasted more than 200 years before it finally failed.

Wait, they're butthurt because Trump refuses to listen to the same foreign policy official who have constantly cocked things up for the past 40 years? Ok, good for Trump. This was the first time I've bothered to read one of these "we hate Trump" letters and they're more hilarious than I thought.
 
Why do you think they're so goddamn important that anyone would care that they're against Trump?

Also, the letter is too small and I don't care enough to use the zoom feature.
 
More Elite claiming that Trump is unacceptable is red meat. How can people look at Trumps performance up till now, and the poll numbers (stipulating that I am not assuming that they are close to right, but others are), and figure that more piling on by the alleged know it all's helps Clinton? These is feeling like the same kind of delusion we had in the primary "well just wait till we get closer to ballot time, these reality show audience voters will get serious then, Dump Trump then".

Didn't happen, not at all.

People know what we want, we want Trump, we want to send a message to these incompetent jerks who keep disrespecting us and our guy for complaining about crap quality work. The thing to do to stop this **** storm is to act like you hear us, promise to try to do better in the future, but no, they are to stupid to understand such basics of politics.

Trump does.
 
Considering how many Ambassadors buy their job, how is this supposed to be important again?

75 Ambassadors is a pretty impressive array - but yes, most of them weren't/aren't important enough to ascribe value to their opinion. Some were/are.

Quite off topic, but I found the celebrities against Trump ad just as unintentionally funny. I was cracking up watching that thing. The one with Robert Downey Jr and "lots of famous people, a **** ton of them".
 
6 or so West Wing actors are stumping for Hillary as a team in Ohio....which goes to show how concerned Team Hillary is about Ohio, but otherwise is a hoot.

I didn't go through the whole list but all of the ones that I looked at were former Bush appointees (from both Bush administrations) or Clinton appointees. They won't make anyone change their vote. There is an interesting pattern here though. Almost all of these lists are comprised mainly of former Bush staff members. I really think there is someone in the background from Jeb's people pushing these types of statements. I bet Jeb hopes that Trump will lose so that he can run against Clinton in 2020.
