More Republicans Try to Derail Trump Train

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is responding to defectors in the party who are refusing to support him.

FOX’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:

Among the Republicans rejecting a Trump presidency: Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who wrote in a “Washington Post” op-ed that Trump doesn’t have the temperament for the job. Also, 50 former national security officials signed a letter that says Trump lacks the character, values and experience to be President.

Trump blew off the non-endorsements on FOX:

(Trump) ”For the most part I haven’t even spoken to any of these people because I like to speak to a new group. The old group was not doing it. Take a look at the Middle East. Take a look at the problems we have.”

In a statement, Trump referred to the former national security officials as failed Washington elites.
