*​Post-Ryan/Trump Meeting, Republicans Continue to Reject Trump's
Unpredictable, Risky & Divisive Candidacy*

A day after Paul Ryan again refused to endorse Trump, Republicans 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.

of Republicans unwilling to support a President Donald Trump and fresh
condemnations of Trump:*

*Sun Sentinel Editorial: Bush anti-Trump stance beats Rubio's
<http://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editorials/fl-editorial-marco-rubio-jeb-bush-trump-20160512-story.html>*:
"Since Trump is the only candidate remaining, that means Rubio intends to
support a con man he fears will initiate a nuclear holocaust."

*Senator Mike Lee [R-UT]*
<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/mike-lee-on-donald-trump-he-scares-me-to-death/article/2591104>:
"said Wednesday that Donald Trump "scares me to death" and that he still
has concerns about the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and
isn't ready to endorse him."

*Former top Romney strategist Stuart Stevens
<https://twitter.com/stuartpstevens/status/731116137472233472>*: "The
looming Republican nominee is same guy who would imitate being a spokesman
for himself. Sounds stable."

*Providence Journal Editorial: GOP Rebellion against Trump*
<http://www.providencejournal.com/article/20160509/OPINION/160509334/SHARED/st_refDomain=t.co&st_refQuery=/6n4QFnPcqQ>:
"Mr. Trump's bombast, insults and unsuitability have turned off many
Republican politicians, activists and thinkers. So much so, they insist
they will sit out the entire presidential race."

*Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado*
<http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2016/05/miamis-republican-mayor-wont-vote-for-trump-or-clinton.html>:
"Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado remembers walking to school as a young man in
Miami and getting heckled. "They said, 'Spic, go back home,'" he recalled
in an interview with the Miami Herald. "Because I had very dark hair." That
discrimination still feels raw for the 68-year-old, now silver-haired,
mayor, who was born in Cuba. And the memory is one of the reasons why he
said he won't vote for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump in November."

*Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2016/05/13/daily-202-kentucky-governor-not-sold-on-trump-embraces-his-role-as-a-clinton-foil/5734c5f5981b92a22d762fe4/>*:
"Bevin maintains that no one has the Republican nomination definitely
locked up until the convention in Cleveland, which he plans to attend. “Let
me see who it will be,” he said, when asked whether he will support Donald
Trump. “More than the party, I’m interested in people who are conservative.
Sadly, the most conservative people are no longer in the race.”"

*Charlotte Observer: Republican financier Art Pope says he won’t support
Donald Trump*
<http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article77212692.html>:
"Art Pope, a North Carolina businessman and major financial backer of
Republican candidates, said Thursday he won’t support Donald Trump for
president."

*Rep. Adam Kinzinger [R-IL] <https://youtu.be/wbMk9a3YUcM>*: "I’d love to
eventually get to where I can endorse the Republican nominee. I'm a
Republican, but the Republican nominee has to talk like a Republican. He
has to have some Republican values. And frankly, he has to be worthy of
inheriting the job of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan and the tone I hear
from Donald Trump is not there yet."
