50 G.O.P. Officials Warn Donald Trump Would Put Nation’s Security ‘at Risk’
New york times ^ | 8/8/2016 | DAVID E. SANGER and MAGGIE HABERMAN

Fifty of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”

How dare they.

And not one peep from them regarding Hillary’s obvious disregard for national security via her willfulness, carelessness, ‘above-the rules’ record? I don’t recall this same concern when a junior senator from Chicago left after 18 months to run for president.

But they do align against Trump. They are sorry a$$es. Aligned with the losing Bush/Romney wing. And flat out can’t keep their mouths shut.

I used to dutifully pull the lever for the R party candidate, even if they weren’t my choice for President. That failed the last 2 times. NEVER AGAIN. These party operatives have shown me all I ever needed to know about unity...and it’s all about themselves...not us.

That’s right.....the scumbag Chertoff supplied the strip-search machines at the airport.....the nude-o-scopes....and made a fortune from the contracts.

I haven’t boarded a plane since September 1, 1989, so I have never seen them.

Again, Chertoff is a scumbag.

I’ll bet their votes could be cancelled by the first 100 names in even the Boston phone book.

Trump is because they failed.

I’m guessing you’ll find a lot of them on K-street.

Social Media Warriors, we must KEEP REMINDING people: The people that CREATED THE MESS want you to be afraid of a man who has NEVER voted on a single piece of legislation....They burned it down and are blaming the guy that’s showing up to put out the fire.

"would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being"

I guess they have overlooked the fact that Hillary has already put our national security at risk....

I would bet that every one of these parasites are now collecting fat federal pensions. What a sickening list of people who will do anything to maintain the status quo.

Sour grapes from the Politburo. They worked all their lives to be influential powerful insiders, and doubled down in the primaries and lost. Too bad.

Likely, but they got used to the influence and importance of being their excellent selves.

Yeah, they get pensions and could live well, but that’s not what drives them now. They still want to feel relevant and they know well (and resent) that Trump won’t give a sh!t about their “excellent selves.”

A huge collection of bloated, pompous asses if you ask me.

I posted their names yesterday - here you go:

True CHANGE is on the ballot this fall. I hope we are brave enough to put all of the apparatus out of work (power).

Are these the same national security experts that said we needed to be fondled by high school dropouts at the airport?

Given how many former CIA persons have come out against Trump (and were quiet in 2008 and 2012) I belive that if Trump wins Langely during the last weeks of November will feel like Paris early June 1940. Hoards of documents will be destroyed or just disappear before the start of the “occupation”.

Damn, they must be hiding some really dirty secrets, to write something with such feeble arguments.

Trump made a clever rebuttal - if these security ‘experts’ have been doing their job, why is everything so screwed up?

It’s a telling question that makes a good point.

I recognized Tom Ridge. You are correct that these are nothing more than blood suckers to my tax dollars.

Thus proving why Trump is successful. The GOPe and insiders need to go away now.
