GOP should repudiate Trump

Open letter to the Republican Party:

When are you going to repudiate your presidential candidate - who happens to think like a dictator? Where is the party of Lincoln - "with malice toward none"?

When will the party rise up and say enough is enough?

Your nominee doesn't believe in democracy - anyone that does not agree with him is not worthy of respect. The election is rigged because the media doesn't agree with him.

You have a nominee so unworthy to run for president that shames the party. This nominee has a mind set that only he knows what is good and right - what better definition of a dictator?

I believe in the good sense of the American electorate, who want to see the orderly transfer of power not divisiveness. We have had over 200 years of peaceful transfer of power - some with more grace than others - but never in our history have we had a candidate proclaim he wants to jail his opponent and by definition of a "rigged" election repudiate the wishes of the electorate - if he's not elected.

Mr. Trump is not now and never has been a Republican. It is time for the Republican Party to distance itself from the threats their candidate is making and disavow him as their candidate.

In good conscience, it has no alternative.
