Donald Trump's effort to appeal to establishment Republicans suffered another setback on Monday as 50 senior GOP national security officials warned in a new letter that Trump would "risk our country’s national security and well-being.”
The signatories of the letter, which was first reported by The New York Times, all worked in Republican administrations, with many serving as top aides to President George W. Bush. They said none of them would be voting for Trump.
“Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President,” they wrote. “He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world. He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary.”

29 out of 50 are CFR members. The other 21 aren’t important enough to have gotten their invitations. Many of these p*$$ants have gotten the U.S. involved in unfinished wars over faulty or manufactured intelligence and they have the audacity to call Trump reckless!
Schake, Kori is a regular on the J Batchelor show. Not a particulary scintillating intellect, but she seemed okay. I won’t be downloading any of his podcasts featuring her.
I use to think it was funny when politicians talked about stealing lolly pops from kids, it is not as funny when it was my money.
It is 666 time! These people are not even sunshine patriots. They are traitors who have sold this country down the drain for filthy lucre. At this time and hour, we now know who they are and we will never forget... never.
I am starting to think half the republican party had sex with bill clinton and contracted the same brain eating std hillary contracted?
These worthless pieces of shit are complicit in the shape that America is today!
Character? We've had two Bushes who were characters. Both had a NWO mindset that drove them to war with Iraq who was never our enemy, but was the enemy of Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Values? How unpatriotic of these NWO clowns to run for president!
Experience? Where were these asses when Obozo ran for president and was elected twice?
It’s all just noise. They want to bait Trump. Let’s just hope he does’t fall for it.
“50 losers unable to stand up to Obama’s constant destruction of national security.”
DITTO
“Neo-Cons! The GOP is dead if Trump doesn’t win. I won’t be voting again.”
I understand your sentiment. The GOP “hierarchy” is replete with scoundrels.
ok who does not realize that the CFR wants WAR...
AND
Hillary takes her marching orders from the CFR regarding totally screwing up the world...
Hillary is a NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.... a TRAITOR
she armed ISIS
she murdered an ally in Khadaffy
she deposed Mubarak
she destabilized the ukraine
she takes money from and is owned by saudi arabia
she revealed the identity of an Iranian spy who was executed

Names are here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/08/us/politics/national-security-letter-trump.html
Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff look like the two biggest names to me, but they’re Bushies.
It will still be finished if Trump does win. At least as it currently stands.

Yep. CNN has been drooling for a response from the Trump campaign. No good can come from addressing this letter. Let the press run with it, and let the surrogates swat it down.
More of the right enemies. Glad these traitors are showing their true colors.
GOP delenda est.
50 more jobs created by TRUMP. GO TRUMP! OK, NEXT?
50 more jobs created by TRUMP. GO TRUMP! OK, NEXT?
the 50 that got us into Iraq, and were responsible for Provisional Coalition Orders 1 and 2?
those 50?
In fact, I think I am just going to vote for Trump and ignore the rest of the GOP slate!
Every person (or creature) that holds power in the REPUBLICRAT PARTY is a backstabbing, traitorous, piece of sh!t.
They should all be primaried out, or arrested and hanged.
