Schultz and Kissinger to Endorse Clinton?

Former Secretary of State George Shultz suggested to Playbook that he was discussing issuing a joint endorsement of Hillary Clinton with Henry Kissinger.

Said Schultz: “We are going to do it together. It will have more impact.”

Shultz added that he was impressed by Clinton, noting a “deep knowledge of Mexico” he picked up on in a personal encounter.

... and may give enough "cover" for like-minded individuals to also support Hillary.

I'm more than a little unnerved by the spate of conservatives lining up to endorse Hillary, because what follows endorsements is CASH, and even the most (ahem) "progressive" candidate becomes addicted to that cash and inevitably begins to shift policies to assure the continued flow.

If conservatives support her, that's okay by me. If they want to (effectively) control her with cash, I'd rather they just sit this election out.

They must feel it's important to speak against the lunatic the GOP is running.

Don't really care what Shultz does.

I would much rather see a George Bush Sr. endorsement.

should be endorsing Clinton. She's the only candidate who can be trusted not to destroy the country.

Watch for more of such endorsements from unlikely quarters. In the end, they will reflect a move by serious-minded people away from Trump. A common-sense move, really.
