Fifty of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”

Imagine what William H. Taft spends on rare books and manuscripts, along with letters from great grand daddy?

[nwrep]

Not to this extent. This is way beyond anything that was said about Reagan, and Republicans did not diss him so spectacularly.

This might push many Republicans to leave the Trump camp.

[doosee]

A huge collection of bloated, pompous asses if you ask me.

Ridge’s monumental contribution was the red orange color scheme for risk level which was later dropped as useless. Like him. Bush really did surround himself with idjits.

[RummyChick]

His business partner connected to cruz..who is connected through wife to visa firm accenture

[Bobalu]

[Gaffer]

I consider Ridge a Bush appointee equivalent to the famous “Brownie is doing a great job over at FEMA”........

This from comments in an earlier post today. ISIS displays US equipment.......The photos, distributed by ISIS’s media arm, depict ammunition, fabric packs and possibly a shoulder-fired rocket launcher of the type used by US forces.
“Or just drop shipped from the US State Department?”
“Gifted to them by one Barak Hussein Obama.”
Clinton/Obama/Kerry/Congress...Who is the real threat to America’s security

[ThomasMore]

I’ll bet most of these vote “Democratic Party”

[polymuser]

Yes, make and keep a list. Trump is outing so many unAmerican cretins of all stripes.

I hope Trump does an oath-keeping review on all of them: Broke your oath? You’re fired.

[JGT]

I wonder how many of these 50 are current or former members of The Council on Foreign Relations? I know Hayden, Negroponte, Zoellick, Ridge, Chertoff, Gates, Blackwill, Jeffrey, and Taft were/are.

"Make a list..."

You can say that again! GO Trump!

[smalltownslick]

Ah, yes - someone who “might” put national security at risk, as opposed to one who already has!

[Pic7]

Hoping Cheney is at one of Trump's future campaign stops.

[From The Deer Stand]

Probably all highly-paid positions we could get along without.

[tomkat]

TRAITORS self-identifying.

Make NO mistake - a vote for Hitlery is a vote AGAINST our Constitution and FOR the destruction of America.

That adds up to treason in my mind, FRiends !

[Rum Tum Tugger]

I will vote for Trump, but the Republican party is dead to me.

If Trump loses, I will never vote for another Republican again — ever.

[ScaniaBoy]

So both Rumsfeld and Cheney have come out for Donald Trump. Good. And it also says something about who was who in GWB administration.

All 50 need to hear Donald Trump say “you’re fired ! “

[W.]

The more I see how Trump scares those scumbag ‘republican’ jackwads, the more I like him. Stomp ‘em flat Trump, they’ve earned it!

[longfellow]

Running? How about through his whole damn 8 years.

Screw these rino.
