Florida Governor Jeb Bush joins Republicans who refuse to support the New York business campaign and will not vote for Donald Trump in November's presidential election.
Some Republicans said they would back Democrat Hillary Clinton, but Bush ruled that out: "Donald Trump has not demonstrated that temperament or strenghth of character, and he is not a consistent conservative. These are all reasons why I cannot support his candidacy."
Bush had previously pledged to support Republican nominee while he was a candidat for president. Republican Senator Lindsday Graham of Sth Carolina announced onn Friday dhat he also would not vote for Trump: "I think Donald Trump is going to places where very few people have gone and I'm not going with him".
Trump's campaign swiftly responded to him: "While I will unify the party, Lindsey Graham has shown himself to be beyond rehabilitton. And like the voters who rejected him, so will I", said Mr Trump.
Many republican candidates for lower offices are running on the same ballot as Trump, who alienated minority voters throught his rhetoric about building a wall in Mexico and banning US entry to Muslim travellers.
Some Republicans, including Senator McCain, have begun to call for the party to oppose the nominee and work to independently elect a conservative candidate like Nebrasja Santor Ben Sasse, who indicated that he will not support Trump.
NEW WORDS:
*pledged
*swiftly
*rejected
PERSONAL COMMENT:
I agree with all the republicans who not support Donald Trump, they have good reasons for it. It's not normal that this man will build a wall in Mexico and banning the entry of Muslims in the XXI century, but the worst is that there are many people that support him.
