BREAKING: Nebraska’s First Lady Breaks With Trump-Loving Husband To Back Clinton

>"Susanne Shore, wife of Nebraska’s Republican governor Pete Ricketts, is saying #imwithher.

She’s donated $4,700 to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and an additional $1,000 to a fund for down-ballot candidates.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s now-infamous Access Hollywood tape, Gov. Ricketts decided not to donate any more money to the GOP nominee’s campaign fund. Ricketts called the candidate’s remarks “reprehensible” and “dangerous” and his apology “insufficient,” but he hasn’t revoked his endorsement of Trump for president.

The First Lady of Nebraska hasn’t made a public statement about her decision to support the Democratic Presidential candidate. Her contributions were noted in Federal Elections Commission records.

Susanne Shore has always had her own mind about politics. Her family was Republican, but she registered Democrat at age 18. She’s switched between Republican, Democrat, and Independent parties, at times supporting Republicans such as Mitt Romney and George W. Bush. She also supported Hillary Clinton in her 2007 bid for the Democratic nomination.<

So that means Clinton may get one electoral vote of Nebraska's five.

Have a nice day.

* Oklahoma, Wyoming, Idaho, Alabama, TN, KY, and WV are lost causes.

Trump using Chinese made stuff on his jobs, his hotels, along with Ivanka's fashion stuff
and Trump getting his talking points straight from Russia is toxic to many on the right.

Trump's treatment pf women and girls is toxic to most women too.

In this election, I think a lot of women are going to vote democrat while their husband votes republican. Many of them will do it quietly in the voting booth while pretending to support the orange parasite. Every vote for Clinton is a good thing. I want her to win in a ridiculously huge landslide. I also want as many democratic senators, governors and congress people as possible.

that the only ones with the balls to stand up to the Orange Menace are the ones with the ovaries.

WTG, Ms. Shore.
