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.”
