Republicans Continue to Reject A Potential Trump Presidency as Risky, Divisive & Unpredictable: Wednesday Edition

Day after day, 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.

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:

Eliot Cohen, Counselor to U.S. Department of State under President George W. Bush<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/18/opinion/a-really-bad-deal-for-america.html>: "Mr. Trump’s temperament, his proclivity for insult and deceit and his advocacy of unpredictability would make him a presidential disaster — especially in the conduct of foreign policy, where clarity and consistency matter."

Jeb Bush:<http://time.com/4338730/jeb-bush-donald-trump-cinco-de-mayo-tweet/>
​ ​
“First, not all Hispanics are Mexican… Secondly, not all Hispanics eat tacos. Thirdly, showing your sensitivity by eating an American dish is the most insensitive thing you can do. Fourthly, to say this, next to all things he already said, is a further insult. It’s like eating a watermelon and saying ‘I love African-Americans.’… If we lose in November, we Republicans have ourselves to blame.”

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL]:<https://twitter.com/HallieJackson/status/732952579068571648> On supporting Donald Trump: "No, I'm not. And who would have ever thought when I did that interview that talking about having a transgender son would be more comfortable than saying I'm not going to support my Republican party nominee?"

Rep. Reid Ribble [R-WI]:<http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/379823341.html> "Ribble...remains deeply opposed to Donald Trump while his party begins to rally around him. “It’s an unrecoverable relationship, let me put it that way,” Ribble says of his attitude toward the New York developer, a candidate he says lacks the temperament to be president."

Ken Cobb, Chair Beltrami County, Minnesota Republicans:<http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/local/4034958-election-shifting-focus-trump-some-state-republicans-want-party-emphasize-local> "Speaking on my behalf ... I am concerned about our presumptive nominee, that he is at odds with the principles that make our party what it is," Cobb said. "I'm concerned that he will do considerable damage just by association to our candidates who are conservatives."

John Weaver, former Chief Strategist for John Kasich:<http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/05/17/trump-targets-michigan-end-democratic-dominance/84520892/> “I think a combination of his rhetoric, his inability to bring people together, which is what you have to do in swing stages like Michigan, ... are going to put Michigan out of reach for him."

Minnesota State GOP Convention Delegate Walter Hudson:<http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/local/4034958-election-shifting-focus-trump-some-state-republicans-want-party-emphasize-local> “We want to send a clear message that Republicans in Minnesota categorically reject the divisive candidacy of Donald Trump.”
