The guy is too toxic for many ex-public officials.
On Thursday, Clinton’s endeavors got a boost ― though, apparently, through no effort of her own. Thirty Republicans who served in Congress signed a letter saying they couldn’t vote for Trump in the general election.
“In nominating Donald Trump, the Republican Party has asked the people of the United States to entrust their future to a man who insults women, mocks the handicapped, urges that dissent be met with violence, seeks to impose religious tests for entry into the United States, and applies a de facto ethnicity test to judges,” the letter reads. “He offends our allies and praises dictators. His public statements are peppered with lies. He belittles our heroes and insults the parents of men who have died serving our country. Every day brings a fresh revelation that highlights the unacceptable danger in electing him to lead our nation.”
Here’s a complete list of the letter’s signatories:
Steve Bartlett (R-Texas)
Bob Bauman (R-Md.)
Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.)
Jack Buechner (R-Mo.)
Tom Campbell (R-Calif.)
Bill Clinger (R-Pa.)
Tom Coleman (R-Mo.)

Thank you, gentlemen! Whether you vote for Hillary or not - at least you're not voting for Trump.
