How former Democrats Diamond and Silk became the Republican nominee's biggest boosters
In the bottom of a palatial Cleveland mall, in a dimly lit room typically rented out for weddings, a parade of mostly white, middle-aged women have approached a lectern and, one by one, made their anemic pitch for Donald Trump to several rows of mostly empty chairs. The enthusiasm level at this, a "Women Vote Trump" event held during July's Republican National Convention, is low, to say the least.
When sister act Diamond and Silktake the stage, though, the audience, sparse as it is, erupts in cheers. "Ditch and switch!" hollers a barrel-bellied man in an "I Love Women Who Vote Trump" shirt, referring to the duo's campaign to encourage Democrats to register as Republicans.
