This evening at the DNC, Republican and former Reagan staffer Doug Elmets took the stage and declared that, because he could not in good conscience vote for a man like Donald Trump, he’ll be voting for Hillary this fall.
That sent the RNC into damage-control mode:

What news would that be?
Oh:
RNC rapid response: Elmets "not really a Republican" bc he has donated to Democrats.
Reminder: Trump has donated to Clinton

By RNC's own definition…almost everyone is more a Republican than @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/ANfC8F3vQM
