Clinton set to assemble ‘Republicans for Hillary’

Clinton was also surging relations with outstanding Republican figures and mega donors she met during her term as US secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, The New York Times reported.

These are people like Mark Salter, a top adviser to John McCain, the defeated Republican candidate in 2008 election. He has already supported Clinton after Trump became the Republican candidate earlier this week.

Among other supporters, are ex-CIA director General David Petraeus, and former US defense secretary Robert Gates. Both are Republicans, but have touted Clinton saying she would make a great president. “I invite a lot of Republicans and independents who I’ve been seeing on the campaign trail, who’ve been reaching out to me, I invite them to join with Democrats. Let’s get off the red [Republican] or the blue [Democrat] team. Let’s get on the American team,” Clinton told CNN. Hillary Clinton seems to be adopting a more centrist policy in general, to win more voters: in particular, Bill Clinton, still quite popular among the working class, as the one to be responsible for creating jobs in economic black spots. agencies
