"We the undersigned, members of the Republican national security community, represent a broad spectrum of opinion on America’s role in the world and what is necessary to keep us safe and prosperous. We have disagreed with one another on many issues, including the Iraq war and intervention in Syria. But we are united in our opposition to a Donald Trump presidency. Recognizing as we do, the conditions in American politics that have contributed to his popularity, we nonetheless are obligated to state our core objections clearly:
His vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle. He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.
His advocacy for aggressively waging trade wars is a recipe for economic disaster in a globally connected world.
His embrace of the expansive use of torture is inexcusable.
His hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric undercuts the seriousness of combating Islamic radicalism by alienating partners in the Islamic world making significant contributions to the effort. Furthermore, it endangers the safety and Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of American Muslims.
Controlling our border and preventing illegal immigration is a serious issue, but his insistence that Mexico will fund a wall on the southern border inflames unhelpful passions, and rests on an utter misreading of, and contempt for, our southern neighbor."

and they are REPUBLICANS. (not that fact matters to the radical right)
dumb donald is dangerous.
These are the RINOs that ruined the GOP. They are the reason we got Trump. This does not make Trump dangerous, only an idiot thinks that. Hillary's corruption is likely more of a problem.
That was amazing. I mean I thought you would feel some sort of shame by slapping 121 different people with all being RINO's at one time but not you tho. You're there to suck as much cock as your cock sucker will suck.
Leave me out of your fantasies moron. Look, the reason we have Trump is because the GOP has refused to keep their promises, refused to fight 0bama, refused to act like republicans and yes, it isn't one or tow of them it is a LOT of them. Again, that is why we have Trump. He is the symptom of the disease that has infected the GOP and that list is a list of the contagions.
