Related: About this forum30 More Republicans Denounce Donald Trump as ‘Unqualified to Be President’
This seems to be flying under the radar here30 Republican lawmakers signed an open letter urging the GOP to reject Donald Trump on Election Day.
The Hill reported that the letter complains Trump lacks the intelligence and temperament to be president, while pointing out that the letter includes numerous Republicans opposing Trump publicly for the first time.
Our partys nominee this year is a man who makes a mockery of the principles and values we have cherished and which we sought to represent in Congress, the group said.
The group of Republicans who signed the letter include former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, former Rep. Vin Weber, Reps. Bill Clinger, Jim Leach, Tom Petri, G. William Whitehurst, Sherwood Boehlert, Jim Kolbe, Amo Houghton and Geoff Davis.

yawn.
I mean it may be good for the election but it's meaningless as far as meaningful reform of the republican party goes.
As long as the *Current* republican party refuses to renounce trump, he should be hung around their neck like an albatross. Without publicly denouncing him now, I have every expectation that the party will try to return to their dogwhistles and masked bigotry and hatred after the election.
For any meaningful change to occur, they need to cut ties to Trumps base and set them adrift.
