Don McVaugh: I spent 22 years in the Air Force and I was a Republican for every one of them.

I was rationalizing Donald Trump's behaviors until I heard that tape.  That was the last straw.

I don't want my granddaughter thinking it's okay to be treated that way and my grandson growing up thinking that's how he should treat women.

That scares me, that scares me a lot.

So Hillary's got my vote.

We don't see eye to eye on everything, but she's strong and I respect her.

And she's someone that my grandkids can respect too.

Clinton (voiceover):  I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

New TV Ads Feature Republicans Defecting from Trump and His Views on Women

Hillary for America is airing a series of new ads in which Republican voters explain their decision to support Hillary Clinton after a recent video showing Trump’s revolting views on and actions toward women. Since the tape was released, 12 women have come forward to confirm Trump engaged in the type of behavior he had boasted about and then denied.​

The ads include Don McVaugh, a lifelong Republican and an Air Force veteran from Powhatan, Virginia; Tiffany Lewey, a Republican and a mother with two children from Lantana, Texas; and, Terry Daniel, a lifelong Republican and a father with two children from Phoenix, Arizona. While these – and many other - Republicans do not agree with Hillary Clinton on every position, they trust that she has the judgment and experience to be America’s Commander in Chief and they’re increasingly concerned that Donald Trump is a danger to women and girls.

Earlier today, in Dade City, Florida, Clinton continued outlining the choice in this election, including Trump’s views, rhetoric and action that show how bad his presidency would be for women and girls.

These ads will run in the battleground states of Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Throughout this campaign an unprecedented number of leading Republicans have not only come out against Donald Trump, but have put their country ahead of their party and endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. That includes:

- Former Cabinet Secretaries like Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, HUD Secretary Carla Hills and others;
- Former Members of Congress like Senator John Warner and Representative Chris Shays, Connie Morella, Richard Hanna, and others;
- National Security leaders like former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, former Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, former Secretary of the Air Force Mike Donley, and others;
- Administration Officials like former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush Jim Cicconi, former Political Director for President Reagan Frank Lavin, former Staff Secretary to President George H.W. Bush, and others;
