*Republicans Are (Still) Rejecting Trump's Candidacy*

It's Thursday, so Republicans are continuing to reject Donald Trump's
unpredictable, risky and divisive candidacy. 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 acknowledge that a President Trump
would be too big a risk.

“I’m sitting this one out… In good conscience, I could not vote for that
man. He shoots before he aims – over and over and over again.”

*Beau Correll, Virginia Republican delegate
<http://www.winchesterstar.com/article/0519correll>*: “We deserve better
than someone that has adolescent temper tantrums to be commander-in-chief
of our nuclear arsenal and 450-ship Navy."

*Wisconsin conservative radio host Charles Sykes
<http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article78460847.html>: *"Asked

for the Green Bay Packers."

<http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/r-i-p-gop-how-trump-is-killing-the-republican-party-20160518>*:
“After Indiana, a historic chasm opened in the ranks of the party. The two
former President Bushes, along with Mitt Romney, announced they wouldn't
attend Trump's coronation at the convention in Cleveland. Additionally,

“We're a party of freedom and we're a party of limited government… Those
are things that he has not espoused on the campaign trail. we're sending a
signal that the type of vulgar attacks and personal attacks that are his
stock and trade have no place in politics, especially here in Minnesota."

*Newsweek: How the GOP Can Survive Trump
<http://www.newsweek.com/2016/05/27/gop-surviving-trump-461311.html>*:
“Republican leaders are convinced he will create a tidal wave of losses for
the GOP in November. The coolness to—and outright rejection of—Trump is
widespread within the party. Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House, has not
endorsed him. Representatives Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) and Ann Wagner
(R-Mo.), both facing re-election, have said Trump has to earn their vote.
Then there are those who have said they will not endorse Trump under any
circumstances, including Senators Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Dean Heller
(R-Nev.) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has been
among the most vocal critics.”

to Trump’s campaign.”

: “Historically, vulnerable congressional candidates who distance
themselves from their parties’ nominees have had mixed results. Many Senate
Republicans face those prospects this year, with forecasters predicting a
historic down-ticket drag caused by controversial presumptive nominee
Donald Trump.”
