Another Day, Another Republican Rejects Trump’s Unpredictable, Risky and Divisive Candidacy

Day after day since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Republicans and conservative commentators continue to reject his unpredictable, risky and divisive candidacy. Donald 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 unwilling to support a President Donald Trump and fresh condemnations of Trump:
Rosario Marin, former U.S. Treasurer under President George W. Bush<http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politics/2016/05/10/latina-gop-operative-wont-stump-for-trump-says-insulted-her-community/>: "I have been the spokesperson for five presidential Republican campaigns. I have attended the previous five Republican national conventions. I’m not going this year, and I am not campaigning for him. I would never, never, ever vote for the little orange man.”

Jennifer Rubin: Who wants to defend Trump for the next six months?<https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2016/05/11/who-wants-to-defend-trump-for-the-next-six-months/>: "Donald Trump’s noxious behavior and erratic views force his supporters to condone all sorts of unacceptable things. Even his own advisers find it hard to excuse his conduct."
Rep. Tim Huelskamp [R-KS]<https://twitter.com/jamiedupree/status/730418233673691136>: "I can't get comfortable with a candidate if I'm worried about what he'll say in front of my 9-year old that's vulgar and crass. I cannot have him in front of that television with what Donald Trump has been saying."

Andrew Weinstein, deputy press secretary to then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich: Five Reasons My Fellow Republicans Should Vote for Hillary Clinton<http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/05/10/five-reasons-my-fellow-republicans-should-vote-for-hillary-clinton/>: "The best way to save the GOP is a Clinton victory. A Trump win could create an institutional bond between the GOP and the racist demagoguery and proposals Mr. Trump has espoused while simultaneously abandoning the party’s positive messages of inclusion, growth, prosperity, and individual liberty. ​If Republicans rally behind Mr. Trump, the White House is likely to be lost for a generation."

Mac Stipanovich, former Chief of Staff to Gov. Bob Martinez<http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/10/politics/donald-trump-gop-donors/>: “If the RNC is going to spend money to elect Donald Trump, then I won't give them money.”

BuzzFeed: Big Money Republicans Reluctant To Go All In On Trump<https://www.buzzfeed.com/tariniparti/big-money-republicans-reluctant-to-go-all-in-on-trump>: "Several major GOP bundlers ... who were major players during Mitt Romney’s campaign said they are reluctant to fundraise for Trump. “I’m waiting for the Second Coming,” one said. ... “The guy kept saying ‘I don’t need your money,’ now he’s asking for their money?” said another Republican operative with ties to donors. “What it’s about is, he kept pissing all over the idea of a donor class.""

Doug Heye, Former RNC communications director<https://youtu.be/Lqo1-D9-ihc>: "That's one of the things that troubles so many people on the Republican side about Donald Trump. There are no policy specifics. There are no real solutions. As you mentioned, there are tons of villains, you can pick a different villain of the day. But there aren't serious policy solutions."

RGA Finance Chair Fred Malek<http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/10/politics/donald-trump-gop-donors/>: “He seems to be taking the position that -- 'Hey, he's the nominee so you've got to get behind him.' Well, it doesn't work that way.”

The Hill: GOP hopefuls struggle with support of Trump<http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/279454-gop-hopefuls-struggle-with-support-of-trump>: “Vulnerable Republican Senate hopefuls are struggling to find the right tone about Donald Trump’s rise to the top of the party’s ticket, weighing how to appeal to moderates without casting aside their base. They’re choosing their words carefully as Democrats begin trying to tie them to their party’s presumptive presidential nominee in the hopes that doing so will help flip Senate control.”

Former VA Gubernatorial candidate, Ken Cuccinelli<http://www.roanoke.com/news/politics/trump-must-prove-conservatism-ken-cuccinelli-says/article_e97a34d0-0270-522b-b26f-7b2aa816928d.html>: ""A lot of us are just hanging back, not casting judgment on him as the nominee at this point,” Cuccinelli said, noting that he recently told Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, that movement conservatives want to see some “overlap on positions and on beliefs” before giving Trump their support."
