Former U.S. Representative Chris Shays, a Republican who represented the state in Congress for more than 20 years, is endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton instead of Republican Donald Trump in the race for the presidency.
Shays made the announcement this morning on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC.
He made it clear that his first choice was a Republican candidate -- Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
“He was my first choice, my second choice, my third choice, but Hillary is my next choice,” Shays said during the broadcast this morning.
“Not hard to figure out,” Shays said. “Donald Trump lost me a long time ago. He does and says everything my mom and dad taught me never to say and do. He doesn’t understand the basic requirements of being president of the United States, and frankly, he’s dangerous.”
