Donald Trump has done it again. On Monday, another longtime Republican, top Jeb Bush adviser Sally Bradshaw, announced she was exiting the GOP and becoming an Independent because of her party's standard-bearer, CNN reported. Moreover, Bradshaw said that if the presidential race in her home state of Florida is close, she'll be casting a ballot for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Though Bradshaw disagrees with Clinton on several issues and has worked "to elect Republicans" for the last 30 years, she said this election is simply one of those moments when "country has to take priority over political parties." "As much as I don't want another four years of [President Barack] Obama's policies, I can't look my children in the eye and tell them I voted for Donald Trump," said Bradshaw, noting that Trump is a "total narcissist — a misogynist — a bigot. ... I can't tell [my kids] to love their neighbor and treat others the way they wanted to be treated, and then vote for Donald Trump. I won't do it."
