More and more Democrats – also known as “Trumpocrats” – are pledging their allegiance to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in hopes that he will bring their communities jobs – jobs they are certain that his rival, Hillary Clinton, will do nothing to retain or create.

The Trumpocrats Political Action Committee (PAC) Executive Director Christian Rickers gave Clinton a vote of no confidence after his favorite in the Democratic Party primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), lost. He vowed that he would sever from the party and vote for the GOP candidate after Sanders was beaten by Clinton in what many believe were rigged elections.

“Early on, I decided if he was not going to win the primary that I was not going to support Hillary Clinton,” Rickers told WND and Radio America. “She is a career politician.”

Hillary no friend of workers

After witnessing the economic decay over the past eight years under President Barack Obama’s Democratic Party, Rickers made the determination that another four years under his former secretary of state was not the direction the country should go.

“I came from a town with 25 manufacturing facilities 20 years ago, and now it has one,” the disillusioned Democrat shared. “Nobody is more responsible for that than the Clintons and the trade policies they’ve advocated over the years. We’ve just learned that Ford is leaving town and going to Mexico and taking all the jobs there. [It’s the same with] Carrier air conditioning and Maytag. When is this going to stop?”

Rickers blames the anti-American economic policies of former president Bill Clinton and the former first lady for sending American jobs and businesses abroad.

“We have policies in our country that incentivize our American corporations to take jobs overseas,” the head of the Trumpocrats PAC insists. “That makes absolutely no sense to me. Why in the world would we incentivize American businesses to go overseas? Hillary Clinton is going to do more of the same.”

Trump’s commitment to keep and create jobs

With Trump’s successful hands-on business experience that spans decades, Rickers is confident that he knows how to keep jobs in America and bring businesses back.

“Donald Trump is going to reverse those policies [and] renegotiate the trade policies that are killing jobs in the country,” he asserted. “I think that’s the most important thing we could do.”

The new Trump supporter is encouraged that Trump’s campaign platform centers around getting America back to work.

“Donald Trump has said he’s going to do something to bring the jobs back,” Rickers informed. “That’s what most people care about. They want to be able to provide for their families.”

Swinging swing states

One mission of Ricker’s Trumpocrats PAC is to persuade voters who have traditionally voted Democrat in blue-collar swing states – including Ohio and Pennsylvania – to vote for Trump and economic recovery.

“We’re going through the Rust Belt – Pennsylvania all through Ohio,” he continued. “We’ve had millions of voters who have signed up and said they are Democrats who are supporting Donald Trump. It’s going to make the difference in the election.”

Those being targeted are Left-leaning voters who are tired of having their livelihoods and medical benefits swept out from underneath their feet.

“These are blue-collar people who don’t have the benefits they used to have,” Rickers pointed out. “They don’t have the health care they used to have, no pensions anymore, no security for their families. They’re fed up with it, and Washington’s not going to fix it with Hillary Clinton. Everybody knows that if she’s elected, we’re going to get more of the same. That’s why we’re having so many Democrats who are now Trumpocrats.”

The number of Democrats who have made the switch to the Republican Party in the Keystone State outnumber Republicans turning to Democrats five to one.

“Rickers is encouraged that more than 100,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched their party registrations to Republican, compared to about 20,000 who flipped the other way,” WND’s Greg Corombos explained. “He said the numbers are even bigger in Ohio, and the movement is huge around the nation. But the mainstream media don’t want to acknowledge it.”

Concealing the truth

Rickers says that the mainstream media acting as Clinton’s propaganda agent refuses to report on the Trumpocrats’ movement sweeping across the nation.

“I’ve been on Fox News and Fox Business a couple dozen times,” Rickers shared. “We’ve gotten a lot of good feedback from that, but no invitation from MSNBC or CNN or major network shows because they don’t want to report about it.”

Committed Democrats are just as upset by Trumpocrats leaving their party as the Left-leaning news media.

“If you think the Trump supporters are nasty -- and they call them deplorable – you ought to see the Clinton supporters,” Rickers insisted. “We had a tomato thrown at us the other day at the rally near Pittsburgh. They’re really nasty people, man. The Clintons have been doing this for years. They take a hatchet job on anybody who’s their opponent. It’s gutter politics. They’re experts at it, and we need to fight back.”

Rickers is confident that even though many recent polls indicate that Clinton is gaining ground on Trump nationally and in battleground states, the tide will soon start swinging back in Trump’s direction numerous times before election day.

“I don’t think anybody really knows how this thing is going to shake out,” Rickers conceded. “That’s why people need to stay tuned, hang in there, support what we’re doing at the Trumpocrats PAC, support all the candidates that are up and down the ballot.”
