http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/ive-never-voted-for-a-democrat-ben-stein-flips-support-to-hillary-and-bernie-because-of-trump/Conservative economist Ben Stein revealed on Wednesday that he was considering voting for Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders because Donald Trump was going to sink the Republican Party.
I went to law school with Ms. Clinton so Ive always had a kind of fondness for her, she was always a very nice young woman, Stein told CNNs Carol Costello. I admire the fact that Bernie Sanders has a single-payer national health plan.
When I worked for [President Richard Nixon] as a speechwriter, I wrote the message that sent up Mr. Nixons proposal for single-payer health plan, he recalled. But I would like to see it be a Republican, Ive never voted for a Democrat. But Mr. Trump, I think, is dangerously misinformed. I like him, but hes dangerously misinformed.
Stein said that he also loved GOP hopeful Marco Rubio, but thought that the Florida senator was hanging an albatross around Mr. Trumps neck that doesnt deserve to be there by insisting that the billionaire had not disavowed the Ku Klux Klan or former Grand Wizard David Duke.

would help "sink" the party, I'd do it.
Stein's odiousness goes way, way back.

he's just better acting like they feel than anyone else. But the emperor hasn't had clothes for ages.
