“While I disagree with her on many issues, I will vote for Mrs. Clinton. I will be hopeful and resolute in my belief that being a good American who loves his country is far more important than parties or winning and losing,” he added. (NY Rep. Richard Hanna)

See this man, Senators McCain and McConnell? Rep. Ryan? – This is what a man with balls looks like. Thank you, Rep. Hanna.

Derangement runs in the family .
Had you just apologized or just let it go it would have ended in a couple of days but we are pleased that you have chosen to keep your ignorance and intolerance in the news cycle , costing you votes with every passing day.
You are some seriously fucked up people

The mini-me thinks he has a future in politics. With every passing day, his father is making sure he doesn’t.

While I’m sure not having to worry about Re-Election made the decision to come out in favor of Clinton easier, I don’t care. We need more Republicans to publicly jump ship.

And now the Khans have sort of doubled down. In an interview on Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell last night Mr. Khan gave a rather succinct assessment of the coir-coiffed one’s, ahem, “attributes.”

I’m posting the link again as it’s well worth watching.

I wanted one of the CBS hosts (3 hosts and Eric but at one point Eric said “us three” excluding Gayle King from his count of people at the table, fyi) to ask Eric if he of his brother ever felt they should serve…

Yes. This is the significant difference between him and the others who say, “Well, I’m voting third-party.” BFD – that’s still not owning the problem, facing up to reality, taking one for your team and saying “Heck, I don’t like a lot about her but at least she’s stable, got a good head on her shoulders, thinks things through before acting, has good advisers, etc.” No, those fuckers who enabled this sort of behavior all along are shocked–SHOCKED!–their party has nominated such a candidate, I tell you!

There’s no way to VERIFY this.

Why should we believe him?

SHOCKED, yet they are the ones who front-loaded the primaries to favor the “chosen” candidate. They are the ones who changed rules to allow the person with the most votes (not a majority) to “winner take all” without a runoff. They are the ones who encouraged 15 other candidates to take on The Donald.

Lies on top of lies. Obviously, the Khans didn’t get that apology memo.

He’d just say he has “other priorities.” The big question is what relation is he to Marshall Applewhite?

Junior, on the other hand, has been bravely serving and sacrificing in Africa. /s

It sure is. They’re such gracious, intelligent, brave people. It’s pretty upsetting they should be disrespected by the scum and the Scum King. I hope they’re getting a commensurate amount of support too. That son must have been something. : (

I think we need some more info here.

Hanna represents NYS 22nd newly redrawn congressional district that also represents some urban areas of Utica, Rome, Cortland and Binghamton. Binghamton University, Hamilton College and Colgate University are included as well.

The district is rated by Cook as R+3…

So, not only is he not running for reelection but his district isn’t batsh*t crazy. You might even say it was “moderate.” He’s a good example of a Republican who can afford to speak out against his Party but I wonder when it’ll dawn on him that he;s doing more speaking out against his Party than he is supporting it.

Chris Collins, OTOH, as we saw last night really DOES represent his base.

For those of us who can think a bit more clearly and view the world with a wider lens, this is Reason Number One we do not want to totally do away with Super Delegates. They are a back-stop just in case of a Trump-like situation.

They are, indeed, the very picture of “dignity.” It’s also heartening to hear of all the support they’ve received. (They mention it right at the end if I remember correctly.)
