There’s a growing group of republicans that have one thing in common.

The letter cited various actions by Trump that the signers said have “alienated millions of voters of all parties”.
Sen. Susan Collins, (R) ME said, “He lacks the temperament, the judgment and the self-restraint to be our president”.
McConnell said a vote for Trump over Clinton “is easy for me”.
The drop in support and the all-out flip in party loyalty began even before trump secured the nomination.
Also Thursday, Trump’s vice presidential nominee, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, dismissed the reaction to the candidate’s assertion that Obama was the “founder of ISIS” as a media-driven “controversy over semantics”.
According to the TIME article, Priebus warned Trump last week that “his campaign seemed to be headed toward failure and that changes were needed to get back on track”, adding that Priebus urged Trump for months to professionalize his operations and campaign – or else.
The letter said that the party should instead focus on protecting vulnerable candidates in elections to the Senate and the House of Representatives.
But some black Republicans, like Larry Thompson, are not voting for the Republican candidate.
Sen. Mark Kirk: “I’ll be writing in Colin, General Colin Powell”.
He said that American people are eager for change and that Clinton can not possibly cast herself as an agent of such change when she clearly represents the establishment.
There were few signs the Trump campaign ever occupied the now-vacant office space – save for several peeled-off Trump campaign stickers visible through the front door.
Barbara Bush: “He said bad things about women, awful things about military”. If Trump doesn’t gain any support after the first debate, they will abandon him. FOX 4 reporter Shaun Rabb visited with both: a white Republican woman voting for Hillary Clinton and black conservative voters.
People like Hewlett-Packard enterprise CEO Meg Whitman, former treasury secretary Hank Paulson and former CT congressman Chris Shays.
The RNC, as well, has been dealing with calls to send party funds down ballot to congressional Republicans and abandon Trump’s campaign. But no one should be all that surprised by Trump’s “unconventional” general-election strategy: The mogul has long touted plans to contest deep-blue states like NY and California.

“Every dollar spent by the RNC on Donald Trump’s campaign is a dollar of donor money wasted on the losing effort of a candidate who has actively undermined the GOP at every turn”, the letter states. They’re just points behind, but haven’t opened a campaign office, haven’t appointed any local leadership, and are relying on RNC staff to marshal grassroots OH voters.
