Former Mitt Romney national finance committee chair David Nierenberg penned an op-ed Friday for CNBC in which he said he would both endorse Hillary Clinton and vote for her. Every other candidate who earned his vote would be a "real Republican," he said, but Hillary had the temperament, experience, and diplomatic skills to lead the country. Mark Hensch reports:
“I have decided to endorse and support Hillary Clinton for president, even though everybody else I will vote for this November will be a real Republican,” David Nierenberg wrote in a Friday op-ed for CNBC.
“Hillary Clinton knows her stuff,” he added of the Democratic presidential nominee. "She is emotionally mature and centered. She respects and enjoys working with people from all backgrounds.
“She has the diplomatic skills needed to break the gridlock in Washington and lead our country well. America needs a steady hand on the tiller.”
Add Nierenberg to the growing list of Republicans who have endorsed Clinton in recent weeks.
