Republican 'racism' spurs GOP official to become Democrat

In Oregon:

After 40 years as a Republican, Lori Stegmann has had a change of heart – and political party.

Stegmann, elected a Multnomah County commissioner in 2016, has changed her affiliation to Democrat, she said in an interview Tuesday.

Stegmann, 58, said she can sum up the reason for the change with one word: Trump. She added that she "cannot condone the misogyny, the racism, and the unethical and immoral behavior of the current administration."

Stegmann represents District 4 on the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners. That district includes Gresham, Troutdale, Corbett and other small east county communities.

She said she is a political moderate, owing in part to her experience growing up in her district, as a businesswoman working in insurance and as a Republican who admired party greats like Sen. Mark Hatfield and Gov. Tom McCall.

I am hoping this is a trend, and that moderate Republicans will not just abstain from voting, but will cross the line at least for the mid-terms, to flush Congress of some of the Trash politicians.

An elected official in Oregon who has been a Republican for four decades announced that she is becoming a Democrat because of the Trump administration.

Lori Stegmann, who has served as Multnomah County commissioner since 2016, told The Oregonian in an interview that she has changed her political affiliation.

“(I) cannot condone the misogyny, the racism, and the unethical and immoral behavior of the current administration,” Stegmann said.
Stegmann, a small business owner and insurance agent, describes herself as a political moderate, according to The Oregonian. She said that the Democratic Party is a “big tent party.”

”I have not changed, but the Republican Party most certainly has,” she said.
 
She added that she "cannot condone the misogyny, the racism, and the unethical and immoral behavior of the current administration."

Surprisingly, there are many conservatives on jpp.com who not only can, but express nothing but admiration and adulation of Donald J. Trump.

Yep, Baby Boomers are dying. From a political perspective it will be a glorious thing so you can't keep voting people from your generation as President.
 
She can come to the democrat party, but we will not compromise to please her. She will need to get on board with the dem agenda FULLY.
