*Republicans Still Not With Trump*

Weeks after he became the Republican Party's presumptive presidential
nominee, Republicans and conservative commentators are still not with
Trump. Trump has for years proven himself to be a loose cannon whose
hateful language and dangerous policies will do serious harm to working
families and put America’s security at risk, and Republicans are continuing
to reject the notion of a President Trump.

*Read the growing list
<https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/updates/2016/05/04/conservatives-rebuke-trump-as-he-captures-republican-nomination/>
of Republicans and conservatives unwilling to support a President Donald
Trump and fresh condemnations of Trump:*

*Minnesota Republican Party State Central Committee
<https://twitter.com/dhmontgomery/status/733717779275087872>*: From Friday:
"the @mngop State Central Committee is about to meet — & debate a proposal
to formally repudiate Donald Trump."

*New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez
<http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/trump-s-albuquerque-stop-elicits-both-excitement-grumbles/article_17cfb2ac-1deb-11e6-b74d-4f3dd1c8fee4.html>*
: “While Trump’s supporters and opponents were eager to weigh in on his
visit, Gov. Susana Martinez, a fellow Republican and the nation’s first
Latina governor, was conspicuously silent. Martinez’s communications
director and press secretary did not return repeated messages from The New
Mexican seeking comment.”

*Wisconsin conservative radio host Charles Sykes
<https://twitter.com/SykesCharlie/status/733660002024574977>:* "Here is the
note @realdonadtrump sent me yesterday. I thanked him for it. But still
#NeverTrumpOrHillary"

*Rep. Mike Coffman [R-CO]
<https://twitter.com/JoeStGeorge/status/733711805436989440>: *When asked
Friday if Trump has earned his support: "No."

*Rep. Steve King [R-IA]
<https://twitter.com/SCJBretH/status/733663249942482944>*: King "tells @scj
Edit Board he is mulling support of @realDonaldTrump, being in sync on
immigration,but Q's on his SUPCO nominees."

*New York Times: G.O.P. Donors Shift Focus From Top of Ticket to Senate
Races
<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/21/us/politics/republican-donors-trump-senate-house.html>*:
""There’s at least uncertainty about what the impact of Trump’s candidacy
would be down ticket, and there’s also a sense that investing in the Senate
is an important defensive play,” said Steven J. Law, the president of
American Crossroads, a Republican “super PAC” that was one of the biggest
spenders in the 2012 campaign."

*Bloomberg: Trump’s Dodd-Frank Plan Will Be Early Test of Republican Unity
<http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-05-19/trump-s-dodd-frank-plan-will-be-early-test-of-republican-unity>*:
"The early signs on Dodd-Frank aren’t clear on whether Republicans are
unified. ... Trump told Reuters in an interview Tuesday that he will
produce a plan that’s "close to a dismantling" of the 2010 financial
regulation law that came in response to the 2007-2008 financial crisis."

*Even Republicans boarding the #TrumpTrain are holding their noses to do
so:*

*Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/05/19/house-gop-conference-chair-backs-trump-isolating-paul-ryan/>*:
““Did I cast my ballot with enthusiasm?” she wrote. “Not exactly – I’m
still getting to know Mr. Trump like so many others. […] McMorris Rodgers,
who is the mother of a disabled child, said she had “concerns about the
comments he made in the past and on the campaign trail this year about
women; people with disabilities; and those from different backgrounds.” “I
vehemently disagree with such statements. They are wrong in a Presidential
campaign; in our workplaces; in our homes; and anywhere else.”
