Methinks that this all boils down to one simple, salient point of contention with these fifty signers: None of them has been asked by Donald Trump for their opinion/guidance. He has turned to other people because, as he has observed, American diplomacy/foreign relations has been an abject failure under those who have been guiding it. Seems reasonable to me...
These 50 represent the establishment, whom the money and power back. Trump isn't one of them, and they don't like it. I think this is bogus and the establishment is getting more desperate all the time because Trump wasn't even suppose to get the nomination.

MAJ Carl Ballinger - Oh yes I've read the letter and know who the 50 are. And punt the American people did - they went for Trump and this has pissed off the RNC and money, power behind them. This was the punt in the game. I voted for Trump in the primary because I was pissed at the main stream politicians and he gave us something new to look at. The RNC has no body but themselves to blame. Trump came out not politically correct, he did the primary with his own money. What he said was what people want to hear. Yea, we punted and the ball got tagged down on the one foot line, the RNC is now having to play in their own end zone and looks like there just might be a touch back. I admit Trump probably doesn't have all the answers, but I don't think he's a stupid man. He's clearly picked a good VP and I think he will also do the same with the rest. A good leader doesn't always know all the answers, but he knows how to pick good advisors with knowledge and goes with it. He's never had the chance, so there is really no way to rate him in this job. I'm glad where the punted ball landed.

I tend to agree with your statement, Not sold on Trump, would never vote for Hillary, but for a so called republican to come out publicly like this shows me they are more worried about their status quo, if you don't want to vote for Trump fine but keep your opinions to yourself, they are only feeding the Hillary machine with these comments.

SSG (Join to see) - You know what's so funny about the whole situation: In the beginning when Trump decided to run on the Republican ticket, they(RNC) made him sign a paper stating if he didn't get the nomination he'd support who ever did. Talk about a double standard. They (RNC) never figured he'd get so far.

Just go back and read some of your posts. I even called you out on it and you backed off a little bit the other day.
You can call me what you like. I am fine with Jeff, Neely, Cpl, or any combination thereof. You might not be familiar with the way the business world works. We all operate on a first name basis up to and including the CEO of my company and senior executives I work with in other companies. People just are as formal as they were a few decades ago. When I started in the business world back in the mid 80's it was a little more formal. That has fallen by the wayside. Relax, it isn't going to kill you.
If Trump wins and he doesn't work out he can be challenged in 4 years by anyone interested. I know Clinton will be an epic failure, I have already seen her in action. The nation is already well on it's way to destruction so have a good laugh about it right now if you feel like you need a good laugh.
