50 Prominent GOP Officials Warn Trump is Unfit for Office
The Establishment is continuing its attack on Trump using tactics that are almost identical to those used against other populist candidates such as Joe Miller in Alaska. Just like in Miller’s race, prominent GOP officials are attacking a member of their own party, worried that the candidate will upset the corrupt system they’ve worked decades to erect. As reported earlier today:
Fifty former Republican national security advisers, intelligence chiefs and trade representatives have signed a letter saying, “None of us will vote for Donald Trump.”
They have served every U.S. Republican president from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush, and include former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former Homeland Security Directors Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge, former Trade Representative Carla Hills and a number of ex-deputy secretaries of state.
It is some of the bitterest commentary on the Trump campaign by members of his own party to date.
The strongly worded letter not only says Trump is unqualified to be president, but that he would be a dangerous commander-in-chief and “the most reckless president in American history.”
“He lacks the character, values and experience … he weakens U.S. moral authority … he lacks self-control and acts impetuously. He cannot tolerate personal criticism. He has alarmed our closest allies with his erratic behavior.”
