*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.

<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."
