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.”

What insanity. This is all coordinated with Obama’s speeches calling for republicans to repudiate Trump.
These are very very evil people.
I remmeber hearing the same thing about Reagan.
Let’s name them.
This would make a lot more sense if you replace Trump with Hillary or Obama.
Trump is bad, but Ms. Private, Illegal Email Servers is A-Okay on national security?
These people are beyond pathetic.
50 losers unable to stand up to Obama’s constant destruction of national security.
FUGOP
So are these asses going to vote for Hillary or are they going to shut the f**k up.
More drivel from the left trying to discourage potential Trump voters from voting in November. More of the Tokyo Rose “What’s the use....” tactic.
Time to sharpen the guillotine blade...
Trump is still pissing off the right people. I never knew how many backstabbers the party had.
Quising #1 through Quisling #50, inclusive
I won't be voting again.
Full text of letter plus signatories at this thread.
Top of the hour story on CNN too. Will push Trump's economy speech off the radar.
You can read the letter at the link. They are mostly people you have never heard of.

Obama has for 7 years and you didn’t seem to give a rats ass about that!
This list gleefully brought to you by Politico...
Interesting how these are all Asst, Secretary level, unknown insiders in our bureaucracy.
These are the true statist, uniparty wall-street and war-mongering aparatchiks who fear change to a world where their precious talents are not considered important.
