Larry O’Connor: If I Were a Democrat, I’d Be Praying for the Day Hillary Leaves

‘Donald Trump got more votes of Republicans within his party than Hillary Clinton got of Democrats’

EXCERPT:

O'CONNOR: "It is really interesting. If I were a Democrat in this town, and thank God I’m not, I would be praying for the day that Hillary Clinton finally leaves the stage. She is crippling this party in this town. And no, it's not Republicans that are imploding. Yes, there are a couple of never-Trump Republicans. Certainly Bob Corker, senator from Tennessee, has joined those ranks of late. And they have been speaking out. Well, that's nothing new. They were doing that back at the convention last year. The fact of the matter is, and people lose sight of this, Donald Trump actually got more votes of Republicans within his party than Hillary Clinton got of Democrats. It’s a tight margin, but a significant one. 92 percent of Republicans in this country voted for Donald Trump. Like the president said yesterday, there is quite a bit of unity within the ranks of Republicans across this country."
