Trump caused outrage last week after comments he made about the parents of Army captain Humayun Khan, a decorated Muslim-American soldier who died in Iraq, caused upset.
Mr Trump responded by attacking the “Gold Star” family, the term for families that have lost a relative in war. Democratic and Republican leaders as well as veterans’ groups quickly condemned him.
Trump responded to Khan’s speech, saying he had no right to question Trump, and speculating that Ms. Khan was prevented from speaking due to her religion.
Dent added that he was not shocked by Hanna’s break with the party, although he said he himself has no plans to support Clinton.

Fifty-two per cent see him negatively.
He then asserted that November’s general election may not be on the up-and-up.
“I don’t believe that many Republicans will take their marching orders from President Obama on Donald Trump or any other matter”.
At a campaign event Tuesday in Virginia, Trump promised to continue writing checks to his own campaign.
