The blog site; "Restart GOP" has compiled a list of public figures in the GOP who are opposing the candidacy of Donald Trump for president. This list has grown in the past several hours over his disgusting comments regarding women. (11:50pm, Oct 8, list growth is slowing. We’ve added a key to help navigate.) Key: “Pull endorsement" means they pulled their previous endorsement. “No vote” means they have stated they will not vote for him. “Step down" means they’ve suggested Trump withdraw from the candidacy. Just a name means they’ve merely condemned or their stance is unknown. Other notes may be applied. |
