We begin todays roundup with The Washington Posts Eugene Robinson and his call to Republicans to reject Donald Trump:
He cant do it, Republicans. Its time for you to admit that Donald Trump is incapable of even pretending to be an acceptable candidate for president. The question is which side of history you want to be on.
Are you going to stand with him as the balloons drop on the last night of the convention, knowing he shares neither your views nor your values? Are you going to work your hearts out this fall to put an unstable bully in charge of our national defense? Is party unity so much more important to you than trifles such as responsibility, duty and honor?

(9,600 posts)It really is that simple: Donald Trump should not be president of the United States. If there is even a small chance of successfully deposing him at the convention an act that, if it worked, would deprive him of the means to compete in the general election it should be undertaken. The alternative is complicity in a politically reckless and blatantly irresponsible endeavor: the attempted election of a candidate who deserves to lose.

(30,058 posts)I vote for Democrats but if Trump would be the DNC nominee I would have to question voting for him. Thank goodness we have a wonderful and qualified Hillary Clinton, Trump has to be defeated, it will be good for the US to defeat Trump and will be a great reward to the Republican party.
