Quarter of elected top Republicans won't endorse Trump
MSN News ^ | October 12, 2016 | Paul Singer

Twenty-six percent of Republican governors and members of Congress are refusing to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, according to a survey by the USA TODAY Network.

Of the 31 Republican governors, 54 GOP senators and the 246 Republican members of the House (331 total), the survey identified 87 who are not endorsing Trump's candidacy as of late Tuesday.

It is an extraordinary demonstration of the fracture Trump’s candidacy has revealed in the Republican Party. There is no precedent in modern American political history for elected officials of either party to refuse en masse to support their presidential nominee. It shows that Trump will have to wage a national campaign without the fleet of surrogates and supporters that every other presidential contender has relied on for decades to help bring voters to the polls. And it illustrates how hard it will be for the GOP to rebuild if Trump loses.

Take Nebraska's Fisher and Fortenberry OFF the list who will NOT support/vote for Trump.

Both have said on a (KLIN) radio station they will vote for him.

I am in Johnny Isakson’s districct now. He did not vote to save the internet so I probably will not vote for him. I might vote against him.

They are unwittingly exposing themselves and opening themselves up to investigation. They are being watched and they are on the list.

If they feel that way, it's their choice and THEY can become Democrats. This is America, and it's their right to do that kind of thing.

Fine-Let them remember that when DT gets into the WH and they are walking around with their hands out looking for appointments or consideration!

GOP: “You expect me to do what’s right?”

American Patriots: “No, Mr. GOP - I expect you to die.”

Civil War is here. Now more than ever it is a time for choosing.

They won’t endorse him because he took over their party from the outside.

The only true way to run an independent campaign is to take over the slot of one of the 2 parties that is automatically permitted on all the ballots in the USA.

That is why the Clinton/Bush establishment is thrashing like a wounded beast. Their insider track has been compromised and they must kill the intruder to keep their cartel going.

No, he has not. He seldom mentions names and he NEVER chooses one presidential candidate over another. He is not their water carrier.

This is the historic end of the Republican Party.

Something calling itself the Republican Party may continue to stagger along. But it will never again get more than 20% of the vote.

Let me correct the headline to read truthfully.

“Quarter of SELECTED top Republicans won’t endorse Trump.”
