Democrat Doug Schoen Reconsiders Backing Clinton: I Am No Longer Supporting Hillary For President

Hillary Clinton supporter, Fox News contributor, and former pollster Doug Schoen told FNC's Harris Faulkner Sunday night that the newly renewed FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton is forcing him to "reassess" his support for the Democratic candidate. He explained his reasoning in an article in <i>The Hill</i> on Monday: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Please read my article <a href="https://twitter.com/thehill">@thehill</a> to understand my tough decision <a href="https://twitter.com/FNInsiders">@FNInsiders</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ImWithHer?src=hash">#ImWithHer</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MAGA?src=hash">#MAGA</a> <a href="https://t.co/QEKPmlt6CJ">https://t.co/QEKPmlt6CJ</a></p>— Doug Schoen (@DouglasESchoen) <a href="https://twitter.com/DouglasESchoen/status/793081095344521217">October 31, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote>DOUG SCHOEN: As you know, I have been a supporter of Secretary Clinton... But given that this investigation is going to go on for many months after the election... But if the Secretary of State wins, we will have a president under criminal investigation, with Huma Abedin under criminal investigation, with the Secretary of State, the president-elect, should she win under investigation. Harris, under these circumstances, I am actively reassessing my support. I'm not a Trump -- HARRIS FAULKNER, FOX NEWS: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You are not going to vote for Hillary Clinton? SCHOEN: Harris, I'm deeply concerned that we'll have a constitutional crisis if she's elected. FAULKNER: Wow! SCHOEN: I want to learn more this week. See what we see. But as of today, I am not a supporter of the Secretary of State for the nation's highest office. FAULKNER: How long have you known the clintons. SCHOEN: I've known the clintons since '94. FAULKNER: Wow! But their friend here has said he's reconsidering. SCHOEN: I have to, because of the impact on the governance of the country and our international situation. FAULKNER: So the news in that is are there other people, I would imagine, like Doug Schoen.</blockquote> Schoen's website lists his bio: <blockquote>Douglas E.
