First GOP Congressman Dumps Trump; Clinton Gets Convention Bounce05:48

Rep. Richard Hanna becomes first congressional Republican to say he will vote for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

“Months ago I publicly said I could never support Trump”, Hanna wrote, calling him “profoundly offensive”, “narcissistic”, and “a world-class panderer”.

They join dozens of high-profile GOP leaders who have previously said they would not vote for Trump, including the party’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. He further blamed the primary process for working against those values, and alienating “women, Hispanics, the LGBT community, young voters and many others”. County Party Chair Thomas Dadey says Hanna used the party and its resources to get re-elected in the 22nd district, but is now abandoning rank-and-file members. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, are not supporting Trump.

Indeed, just two weeks after a Republican National Convention that tried to focus on party unity, the Trump-driven rifts inside the GOP appear to be intensifying.

“Trump who likes to complain about polls that don’t show him winning, he’s called the CNN poll phony”.

Comella said that this November she will vote for Clinton instead.

“I have made no sacrifices”, Buffett said.

“It may make him media savvy, but it doesn’t make him qualified or ready to be president”, she added.

In an op-ed for Syracuse.com, Hanna said, “If I compare the life stories of both candidates I find Trump deeply flawed in endless ways”.

“For me, it is not enough to simply denounce his comments: He is unfit to serve our party and can not lead this country”.

This is a strategy that’s worked before for Trump; piling his outrageous statements on top of each other so public anger doesn’t have time to build up before the media shifts its focus to his next set of verbal antics and insults.

Buffett, a widely followed investor who is chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., scorned Trump’s 1995 move to list Trump hotels and casino resorts on the New York Stock Exchange, saying it lost money for the next decade and that “a monkey” would have outperformed Trump’s company.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who spoke at the RNC in favor of Trump, said the candidate could have handled the situation better.

Do you view Clinton’s running mate, Sen.

President Barack Obama told reporters Tuesday that many Republicans’ denunciations, when paired with continued support, “ring hollow”.

Trump also said he can’t release his income tax returns because he is now under audit by the IRS. “Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution?” the Pakistani-American lawyer rhetorically asked, drawing a huge emotional reaction from the auidence and across the nation in the following days.
