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.”

one thing DTrump has done for America already,.,
he’s OUTted at least 50 Traitors
anyone who acts to support electing sold-out-to-the-IslamoNazis Traitor Hilliary... is him/herself a traitor, imho
Hopefully, DT has good body guards ... they will eliminate him if they possibly can imho
Have they been hiding under a rock for the last 7-1/2 years?
I don’t recognize most of the names, or recall any of them saying something similar about Obama or Clintoon.
Keep in mind that Bush nominated his crony, Harriet Miers, for SCOTUS. The fact that these 50 people were "top republicans" (CNN's characterization) says nothing about their qualifications.
Hey GOP “officials”...do da name Hillary Clinton mean anything to you?
Get off your corrupt Obamaholes and make sure the ignorant slut is not elected.
If you do not, the GOP is toast.
Perhaps, right along with the country.
We can find 50 Republicans to say Hillary’s a threat... so what?
This election’s devolving into ‘stupid’...
“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.”
Sounds like they are talking about Obama, Mr Trump I have a list of 50 names for Guantanamo Relocation.
There are 50 names. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3007589/Nationalsecurityletter.pdf
Another endorsement for Trump: the failures of the past won’t support him.
Who would listen to these guys? Only people who think the GOP has been on the right track in the last few years. An increasingly small number.
They PROMISED to support the nominee,
but instead lie.
That is SSDD since they arm al Qaeda,
kept themselves EXEMPT,
kept ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE intact,
paid for 1 million terrorists by first class jet,
AND added ObamaTRADE too boot.
The GOP should meet
Robespierre on the Capitol steps
for systematic treason — and lying
to the voters from whom THEY DARE TO STEAL VOTES.
Right you are. The 50 included those that got us into these unwinnable wars, costing us countless dollars and lives and lifetime disabilities.
We need someone who will keep us out of wars for the benefit of other countries who won’t fight their own. I hope that’s Trump and this sort of confirms it.
WTF - and Lying Killary is not?
The GOP elite is acting out because the voters didn’t do as they were told. Ignore them, as they’ve ignored us for so many decades.
Is Heidi a top GOP insider?
Even Freepers don’t act like the MSM has been discredited. Every story has to be looked at with extra scrutiny. All these networks should be pounded as mouthpieces of the Democrats. They have no credibility.
And in spite of anything these jokers may believe, Trump is still superior to Clinton.
“Top 50 GOP Officials?” Who says?
The Bushes hate Trump.
We ‘get’ that... and get it and get it.
They want the Cheap Labor Express and endless wars in the ME... we don’t.
not to mention that if the past deeds and actions of the 50 are ever exposed they could all be hung for TREASON....
Yep, the same jerks that got us doing the Saudi’s & Turkey’s dirty work in Syria.
Ms. Private, Illegal Email Servers, a proven serial liar, who seems to “short-circuit”, and for whom there is a trail of dead bodies of those “close” to her... whose family foundation is still under investigation....
The “GOP officials” just DO NOT GET IT. We do not want their “groomed” candidates who just push some “DNC-lite” agenda. Think Romney.
