And yet another.

Quote:GOP bigwig flees the party – and leaves ‘misogynist bigot’ Trump a devastating letter on her way out

Quote:In a scathing letter read on CNN, Sally Bradshaw, who co-authored an RNC report showing what went wrong in the 2012 election said she would hold her nose and vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton if the election is close, stating, “This election cycle is a test.”

“As much as I don’t want another four years of  Obama’s policies, I can’t look my children in the eye and tell them I voted for Donald Trump,” she wrote. “I can’t tell them to love their neighbor and treat others the way they wanted to be treated, and then vote for Donald Trump. I won’t do it.”

These people make some good points.  Obviously, they are from the wing of the GOP which is literate....unlike the Drumpfucks.

LOL, from the viewpoint of conservatism = 'leave things the way they are', Hillary is the actual conservative this election cycle.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Only because she'll never get anything through the Tea-Bagging shitwits in the House.  Obamacare desperately needs a public option but the republicunts would rather chop off their own balls with a rusty axe than permit that to happen.

Quote:More prominent Republicans - including a congressman - have they said will not vote for Donald Trump, arguing he is unfit to serve as president.
On Tuesday, Richard Hanna of New York became the first Republican congressman to publicly declare that he would vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Mr Hanna called Mr Trump "a national embarrassment".

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/top-chri...an-option/

Quote:Top Christie aide rejects ‘demagogue’ Trump for Clinton: ‘Silence is not an option’

Quote:While New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® is still backing Donald Trump, one of his former top aides will be voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton, CNN reported.
“Instead of speaking out against instances of bigotry, racism and inflammatory rhetoric whether it’s been against women, immigrants or Muslims, we made a calculus that it was better to say nothing at all in the interest of politics and winning elections,” said Maria Comella, who worked on Christie’s two successful gubernatorial campaigns. “For me, if our party has a future, we have to change that trajectory and lead by example.”
Comella ended her tenure working for Christie after the governor ended his own presidential campaign. She told CNN that the GOP has reached “a moment where silence isn’t an option.”
She specifically cited Trump’s insults against Gold Star military parents Ghazala and Khizr Khan following their appearance at the Democratic National Convention last week.

Will there be a breaking point? Where it's safe enough that a cascade of Republican Congressmen/Senators will follow suit?

Hope so.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I don't think many will support Hillary, could be a few will defect to not voting or Gary Johnson as Mitt Romney said he was considering. If Johnson gets to 15% in the polls, which he is almost at and gets in the debates he is sure to take more votes from Trump then Clinton. There is always a few in either party who defect one way or another, though the lack of support for Donald Trump in his own party is pretty unprecedented.
