A group of 30 former GOP lawmakers signed a blistering open letter to Republicans on Thursday, warning that Donald Trump lacks the "intelligence" and temperament to be president and urging the party to reject the GOP nominee at the polls on Nov. 8.
The group includes several former lawmakers who have openly opposed Trump from the start, including former Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R-N.H.) and former Rep. Vin Weber (R-Minn.).

Main street Republicans = progressives
I can see why they are “former” lawmakers.
Weber retired from congress in 1992, following the House banking scandal, in which he was implicated for writing 125 bad checks worth nearly $48,000.[1] As secretary of the House Republican Conference and key adviser to incoming Speaker Newt Gingrich, he was considered one of the architects of the Republican's success in 1994. He was a commentator on National Public Radio the following year about developments in Congress after the Republicans took control of the House, providing commentary on the "revolution" he had helped create. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting reported that Weber frequently offered his opinions on NPR about health care issues, but never revealed that he was a paid lobbyist for several health insurance giants.[2]He is a member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and was one of the signers of the PNAC Letter sent to US President Bill Clinton dated January 26, 1998, advocating "the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power" along with Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and 29 other notable Republicans.[3]
Weber was managing partner of the Washington, D.C. branch of lobbying firm Clark & Weinstock. In 2006, home mortgage giant Freddie Mac paid Weber $360,297 to lobby on its behalf to fend off meaningful regulation in the lead up to the subprime mortgage crisis.[4] Weber also lobbied for Gazprom, Russia's state-owned natural gas company.[5]
In 2011 Clark & Weinstock merged with Mercury,[6] with Weber becoming a partner in the combined firm.[7]

BOB INGLIS!! Upchuck, would you ping? What are these rats up to—who is paying them off?
Key word, “former”.
They’d rather have Hillary. What fools these Rinos be.
This letter and these names will guarantee that they remain former
The key word is FORMER lawmakers which indicates they are LOSERS.
Great minds!
I haven’t heard of any of them. Go Trump!
Its nice when the Statists, progressives and government insiders identify themselves.
Oh, he lacks the intelligence to be President? Like the current traitorous moron, who cannot even pronounce “corpsman” properly, and steps on his dick every time he speaks without a teleprompter IS?
Just so that everyone is aware, Donald Trump started his real estate and television empire with a $1 million loan from his father. By the time his father died in the late 1990s, and even AFTER having lost nearly a billion dollars in the Atlantic City casinos, he was worth several billion dollars. Yeah, REAL stupid - these Uniparty hacks only WISH that they were 10% as smart as Trump.
Traitorous, dickless assholes! Like Hillary the Witch is soooooo smart.
“I haven’t heard of any of them. Go Trump!”
They are all retired. Some for over a decade.
Cheap Labor Express stooges.
The Republican establishment is determined to prevent the citizens from reversing their 30 year policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.
