“That’s where I am”, Dent said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”.

Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) is the first member of the House of Representatives to buck his party and announce his plans to vote for Clinton. My reasons were simple and personal. That matters. Mrs. Clinton has promoted numerous issues I have been committed to over the years including expanding education and supporting women’s health care. Hanna wrote. “For me, it is not enough to simply denounce his comments: He is unfit to serve our party and can not lead this country”. “I trust she can lead”.

The retiring lawmaker indicated Trump’s feud with a Gold Star family was a tipping point.

Besides improving her standing against Trump, Clinton’s convention appears to have boosted the share of Americans who think her policies will move the country in the right direction (from 43% before either convention to 48% now), while Trump’s right direction number held roughly steady following the back-to-back political gatherings in Cleveland and Philadelphia. He also said that after Trump listed his casino and hotel company on the New York Stock Exchange in 1995, investors lost money, even though “in 1995 when he offered this company, if a monkey had thrown a dart at the stock page, the monkey on average would have made 150 percent”. “She had nothing to say”.

While Hanna never supported Trump – he said in his op-ed that he found him “profoundly offensive and narcissistic but as much as anything, a world-class panderer, anything but a leader”- no other Republican lawmaker has backed the Democratic nominee.

Campaigning with Hillary Clinton in Nebraska Monday, Buffett savaged Trump’s business record, questioning his bankruptcies and asking why the Republican presidential candidate won’t release his tax returns.

“If we underestimate our opponent or take this race for granted, we’ll lose”, the email said, referring to Republican nominee Donald Trump.
