The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Sen. Tom Cotton invokes Dick Cheney, barely mentions Trump

CLEVELAND — Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas may have just given the first speech of the Cotton 2020 campaign for president.

Speaking on the opening night of the Republican convention, the freshman senator talked about the military service of his father and grandfather, and his own tours as an infantryman in Afghanistan and Iraq, attacked President Obama and Hillary Clinton, reached out to independent voters, invoked Dick Cheney and… barely mentioned Donald Trump.

“Help is on the way,” Cotton said, deliberately echoing Cheney’s speech at the 2000 GOP convention.

Cotton made national headlines in 2015, when he wrote a controversial open letter to Iran’s leaders in an apparent effort to kill Obama’s nascent nuclear deal with the so-called Islamic Republic. He has emerged as a insistent critic of the president’s handling of world affairs. Some party insiders thought he might make a good vice presidential candidate as early as 2016.

It wasn’t to be. But Cotton’s speech — a heaping helping of biography, emphasizing military service — suggested that he hasn’t ruled out seeking higher office.

He talked at length about his father’s decision to serve in the military over the objections of his grandfather, also a veteran. He talked about how he left a legal career behind and joined the military himself after 9/11.

“My family isn’t extraordinary; in fact we’re very ordinary,” Cotton told the crowd in Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. “We don’t fight because we hate our enemies, but because we love our country.”

Cotton said handing the presidency to Hillary Clinton would be “unthinkable.”

The United States deserves “a commander-in-chief who speaks of winning wars and not merely ending wars,” he said. “We’d like a commander in chief who calls the enemy by its name, a commander in chief who draws red lines cautiously, but enforces them ruthlessly. And it would be nice to have a commander in chief who can be trusted to handle classified information.”

His lone reference to the “Trump-Pence” administration was to say that they would be better stewards of national security than Clinton.

Notably, Cotton was the first prime-time speaker at the GOP convention to ask for the support for “the millions of independents and Democrats” who want a strong military, an unusual olive branch on a night thick with red-meat attacks on the current administration and its supporters.

And he took pains to counter a favored Democratic attack: that his opposition to the Iran deal amounted to a call for war with Tehran.

“Believe me, no man wants more war if he’s seen the face of war,” Cotton said.

Unconventional: Bob Dole on the state of the Republican Party
7/19/16

Former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole told Yahoo News Global Anchor Katie Couric that this year’s GOP nominee, Donald Trump, is a “strong leader” but should “tone down his rhetoric and become an inclusive Republican.”

He lamented that Trump has not apologized to Sen. John McCain for saying, one year ago, that McCain is not a war hero because he was captured. Dole said “he was kept in a little cage, he had arms broken. … He’s a war hero if there ever was one.” Dole added that McCain is “not bitter” and will vote for Trump.

Lying Ted Cruz Refuses To Endorse Donald Trump For President Of The United States

Ted Cruz hit all the right notes tonight by focusing on classic Conservative values. He hammered the Obama administration, hammered Crooked Hillary, and he hammered the encroaching New World Order.

7/20/16

Ted Cruz has showed himself to America tonight as a bitter, self-focused, little man who is about as ungracious a loser as you could possibly imagine.

Amid much speculation, a very bitter Ted Cruz took the stage at the Republican National Convention tonight and shot himself in foot. He refused to endorse the Republican nominee for president, Donald J. Trump, while the frenzied crowd booed him off the stage.

Ted Cruz started by focusing on classic Conservative values. He hammered the Obama administration, hammered Crooked Hillary, and he hammered the encroaching New World Order.  All good stuff.

He got the most applause of his speech when he said “yes, America must build a wall to keep us safe”, one of the cornerstones of Trump’s agenda. “We deserve leaders who stand for principle”, Cruz said, “that is the standard we should expect for everybody.”

Then Cruz took a left turn and never recovered

The crowd was with him for the majority of his talk until they slowly began to realize that he had no intention of endorsing the GOP nominee. At that moment, as Cruz attempted to wrap up his speech, the crowd became overwhelmingly hostile towards him ending with his being booed off in disgrace. See for yourself:



Ted Cruz broke his promise with malice aforethought:

The pledge that Ted Cruz took last year was not a promise to support the Republican party. It was a promise to support and endorse the nominee. Ted Cruz broke the promise that he never had any intention of keeping.

Ted Cruz has showed himself to America tonight as a bitter, self-focused, little man who is about as ungracious a loser as you could possibly imagine. Not only that, he lied when he said he would support the Republican nominee. Because he certainly has not kept that promise. He did not give the endorsement he promised he would.

Donald Trump was right when he called him ‘Lying Ted’.

America, tonight Ted Cruz showed you his real self. Believe him. And remember that in 2020.

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:8 (KJV)

So all of the "they're gonna deny Trump the nomination!" stuff was just wild speculation and hype, I assume? Cheesy

Tell me you'd endorse a man who publicly insulted your wife and insinuated that your father assassinated JFK. Just saying.

You want to talk about a sore loser? Our own governor didn't even bother to make an appearance at the convention...

Yeah, it was all part of fearmongering, and troubling everyone's hearts - we've seen this "Cry wolf" script many times. When all was said and done, and it did was paint the GOP/Trump in a very bad light (not that they've been doing so until now). Also - when I was upstairs, I ended up hearing Trump say that he wants to protect the sodomites from religious "ideology" (doesn't sound like he was talking about Islam here, alone that is). And the theme of his speech was "peace and safety".

BTW - my dad commented how there was just so much darkness surrounding this convention like never before. Pretty much, these conventions are nothing more than high school football pep rallies.

Obama to give Mexican president a megaphone against Trump

On the heels of Donald Trump’s acceptance of the Republican presidential nomination, President Obama will give his Mexican counterpart a megaphone Friday to criticize Mr. Trump’s plans to build a border wall and restrict immigration.

Mr. Obama will host Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto at the White House for a discussion of trade, border security and efforts to combat drug trafficking.

After their Oval Office meeting, the two leaders will hold a joint press conference, where Mr. Trump is likely to be the elephant in the room. The Republican presidential nominee has built his candidacy partly on anti-immigration rhetoric and his promise to make Mexico pay for a wall along its border with the U.S.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest portrayed the timing of the presidents’ meeting as innocent.

“This is not an unusual occurrence,” he told reporters. “I don’t know exactly how President Pena Nieto plans to address the question about the Republican nominee, but presumably one of you will ask him and give him the opportunity to do so.”

Mr. Obama and Mr. Pena Nieto met last month at a summit in Canada, and Mr. Trump featured prominently in press questions there. At the time, Mr. Pena Nieto criticized the Republican candidate indirectly, saying “isolationism cannot bring prosperity to a society.”

On his website this week, Mr. Trump elaborated on his plans for a wall with Mexico, saying it would cost $5 billion to $10 billion and use the leverage of blocking remittance payments from Mexicans living in the U.S. to their families in Mexico. His plan would include a regulation stating that “no alien may wire money outside of the United States unless the alien first provides a document establishing his lawful presence in the United States.”

“It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year,” Mr. Trump said.

If Mexico doesn’t agree, he said, he would start tougher enforcement of trade rules and cancel travel visas for Mexican nationals.

“Mexico has taken advantage of us in another way as well: gangs, drug traffickers and cartels have freely exploited our open borders and committed vast numbers of crimes inside the United States,” he said. “The United States has borne the extraordinary daily cost of this criminal activity, including the cost of trials and incarcerations. Not to mention the even greater human cost. We have the moral high ground here, and all the leverage.”

Mr. Obama and Mr. Pena Nieto will also discuss deeper cooperation on border security, Mr. Earnest said.

“There’s never been a greater commitment to border security,” Mr. Obama said. “It’s reflected in the numbers that we see of individuals who are apprehended attempting to cross the border. Part of that strategy includes effective coordination with the Mexican government.”

Also on the agenda is the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade deal including both nations and 10 other countries around the Pacific Rim.

nope, they really tried to deny him the nomination.

Tell me you'd endorse a man who publicly insulted your wife and insinuated that your father assassinated JFK. Just saying.

Well for starters, TED insulted Trump's wife first. And second, this just goes to show you that Ted is not a real Christian.

Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mat 6:15:But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


Just saying, and really Ted has been caught in just as may lies as Hillary.


You want to talk about a sore loser? Our own governor didn't even bother to make an appearance at the convention...

Yep, Kasich is a baby, and a closet Liberal.


Oh also, Ted made a promise to endorse who ever won the nomination. Now this pledge was for Donald Trump so that he wouldn't run as a third candidate. Ted never thought that he would have to support Trump. Well there ya go. Ted cannot even keep a simple promise. It wasnt hard, he vote for Trump, was all he had to say. But his PRIDE was in his way. And this will be his down fall. All of his backers has turned from him. Some of his main donors are talking about suing him. His number one Las Vegas  Roll Eyes donor tried to attack him after he refused to endorse Trump. This was political suicide for Ted and his goldman sacks wife.

All because so called christian Ted could not forgive.

Phil Robertson Has Some Advice for Ted Cruz

The last time "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson delivered a message to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), it was to offer his unwavering support.

Now that the Republican presidential primary is over, he's switched his allegiance to GOP nominee Donald Trump. The small business owner turned reality television star said Thursday he thinks the Texas senator should do the same.

"If I had been Ted—I mean, give me a break, Ted. Go ahead and endorse the man," he told FOX News Channel's FOX and Friends Thursday morning. "I mean, you lost, he won.

"I think Cruz is a terrific guy, a strict constitutionalist. He's not the most bubbly guy I've ever run across, if you understand what I'm sayin'.

"I love that dude, but all the guys who lost—and gals—they all need to swallow their pride and say the people—the Republican Party—has said Donald Trump is the man we want in the White House."

Robertson was also asked to weigh in on Ohio Gov. John Kasich's boycott of the GOP national convention. The Duck Commander patriarch said he's still learning about politics, but still had a valuable message to all of the former presidential candidates.

"They need to learn how to forgive each other, and let's move on," he said. "Get over it and let's move on."

See his full interview below.

Democratic Party Bars Two Convention Delegates From Vermont Because They're Men

    DNC replaces two Vermont delegates — because they’re men

    The Democratic National Convention ordered the state party of Vermont to replace two delegates — because they’re men.

    State Sen. Tim Ashe and party insider Ken Dean were ordered to be replaced by the DNC so that the party could achieve a gender balance. Dean and Ashe have filed a formal complaint with the DNC’s credentials committee, according to the Associated Press.

    Dean and Ashe were elected by the people of Vermont to serve as delegates on June 11. Everything was fine until July 5, when the DNC ordered the state party to replace the two men with women.

    This is not gender balance, it’s a false attempt by the DNC to make the party appear more balanced than it is. The people wanted these two men, who are both well-known and respected in the state, to go to the convention. Instead, they will be replaced by two women for the sake of gender balance.

    This shows what a sham the DNC’s alleged moral high ground on gender issues is. The Left constantly complains about there not being enough women in office, but neglect the fact that the people are making the decision. And the people of Vermont chose these two men, but because the DNC wants to be able to hype how diverse and inclusive it is, the men were replaced with women.

This is the sort of backwards thinking that makes Progressives a parody of themselves.

Virginia Court Overturns Order That Restored Voting Rights To Felons

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that Gov. Terry McAuliffe doesn't have the authority for a blanket restoration of voting rights to the state's felons.

McAuliffe had issued a sweeping executive order in April that affected 206,000 ex-offenders in the state.

In a 4-3 ruling, the state's justices said under the state constitution, McAuliffe didn't have the authority for such a proclamation.

"Never before have any of the prior 71 Virginia Governors issued a clemency order of any kind — including pardons, reprieves, commutations, and restoration orders — to a class of unnamed felons without regard for the nature of the crimes or any other individual circumstances relevant to the request," the majority wrote. "To be sure, no Governor of this Commonwealth, until now, has even suggested that such a power exists. And the only Governors who have seriously considered the question concluded that no such power exists."

Energized white supremacists cheer Trump convention message
7/23/16

CLEVELAND (AP) -- They don't like to be called white supremacists.

The well-dressed men who gathered in Cleveland's Ritz-Carlton bar after Donald Trump's speech accepting the Republican nomination for president prefer the term "Europeanists," ''alt-right," or even "white nationalists." They are also die-hard Trump supporters.

And far from hiding in chat rooms or under white sheets, they cheered the GOP presidential nominee from inside the Republican National Convention over the last week. While not official delegates, they nevertheless obtained credentials to attend the party's highest-profile quadrennial gathering.

Several gathered in the luxury hotel well after midnight following Trump's Thursday address, a fiery appeal they said helped push the Republican Party closer to their principles.

"I don't think people have fully recognized the degree to which he's transformed the party," said Richard Spencer, a clean-cut 38-year-old from Arlington, Virginia, who sipped Manhattans as he matter-of-factly called for removing African-Americans, Hispanics and Jews from the United States.

Like most in his group, Spencer said this year's convention was his first. On his social media accounts, he posted pictures of himself wearing a red Trump "Make America Great Again" hat at Quicken Loans Arena. And he says he hopes to attend future GOP conventions.

"Tons of people in the alt-right are here," he said, putting their numbers at the RNC this week in the dozens. "We feel an investment in the Trump campaign."

He and his group chatted up convention goers late into the night, including an executive from a major Jewish organization and a female board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition. They sat at the marble bar as Spencer explained his position on blacks, Hispanics and Jews. They challenged him repeatedly and expressed shock at how calmly he dismissed their rejection of his ideals.

HERE IT IS=> Detailed List of Findings in Wikileaks DNC Document Dump

On Friday Wikileaks released nearly 20,000 hacked emails it says are from the accounts of Democratic National Committee officials.

nope, they really tried to deny him the nomination.

Come on, man... They probably tried to when he didn't have the delegates yet, but once he reached the threshold, it was over. They couldn't do squat. All of the "their gonna deny him the nomination!" stuff post-Indiana primary was just speculation and hype. If the whole system is rigged from beginning to end and they didn't want Trump in as nominee, he wouldn't have won the delegates necessary. So either it's not rigged and the GOP got stuck with Trump, or he's the guy they wanted all along. I tend to believe the former. If anyone should be mad about being denied their party's nomination, it's crazy Bernie (because it actually happened).

Saw this a couple of years ago - this was definitely an eye-opener. Won't give away any spoilers - but with that being said, it's quite shocking Alex Jones is pushing Donald Trump, despite the fact that HE INTERVIEWED Bev Harris on his show to expose the whole rigged voting machines!

Bernie Sanders Leaves the Democratic Party  Cheesy

The nomination was barely sealed up at the Democratic National Convention before Bernie Sanders, who had campaigned against Hillary Clinton for the party’s nod, went back to being an Independent.

And now, despite pleading with his base to support Hillary, even though they’re concerned that she’s too moderate, Sanders will return to Vermont and to his seat in the Senate, and he’ll do it with no official party affiliation.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was forced to resign as Chairwoman of the DNC after leaked emails revealed she’d tried to keep Sanders from challenging Clinton for the party’s nomination, might even be vindicated—sort of.

Sanders has struggled all along with whether to call himself a Democrat, even ducking the question of his party affiliation, raised by local Vermont media, just days after he declared. He later tried to reinforce that he was, indeed, a Democrat. But Sanders certainly wasn’t a party player—and that’s exactly the concern Wasserman Schultz voiced in the Wikileaks document dump.

    In an April 24 email she received with an article describing the ways Sanders felt the DNC was undermining his campaign, she wrote back, “Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do.”

If Wasserman Schultz’s job was to ensure that a Democrat got the Democratic party nomination, then she might have been doing her job correctly (even if Bernie’s supporters would disagree).

There’s the additional complication, of course, that Wasserman Schultz was a vocal Clinton supporter, a Clinton surrogate and is now a senior adviser to the campaign, as she’s been officially booted from her DNC duties. But if anyone is vindicating her position, it’s Sanders, dumping the Democratic party as soon as it was no longer useful.

WikiLeaks Releases Hacked Audio of US Democratic Party Voicemails



After releasing nearly 20,000 emails from the US Democratic National Committee, WikiLeaks has dumped audio recordings from the organization.

The new release includes 29 voice messages pulled from the emails of high-ranking DNC officials, totaling 14 minutes.

The emails released over the weekend showed that officials within the ostensibly neutral organization had a clear bias toward former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Sanders supporters were outraged, and the embarrassment forced DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign ahead of this week's convention. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has pointed out, however, that her replacement has been shown to be equally guilty of anti-Sanders bias.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had promised the release of more documents.

The latest release comes on the same night that US President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at the convention.

Sputnik is in the process of delving into this new release, and will update our readers as revelations emerge.

I didn't realize it until tonight (when I was listening to a preacher's sermon) - sodomite Peter Thiel (one of PayPal's founders) got a standing ovation when he spoke at the RNC last week.

Ultimately, won't matter who gets elected. Just stay in THE BOOK!

Mark Cuban Is Voting for Hillary Clinton and Thinks You Should Too
7/30/16

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban says he's voting for Hillary Clinton and thinks you should too.

The Dallas Mavericks owner and TV personality tweeted his support for the Democratic presidential nominee on Friday, vowing to do his "best to convince" everyone he knows to also vote for the former secretary of state in the November election.

Cuban wrote the tweet in reply in response to a Twitter user who asked him if he planned to vote for Clinton or not at all, after the "Shark Tank" star posted a tweet about Donald Trump saying, "This guy should be commander in chief?"

Just last month, Cuban said on FOX Business that "there’s a good chance I'll vote for Donald Trump" if Clinton picks Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. The former secretary of state ultimately chose Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. Cuban also predicted that Clinton would win the presidential election in "a landslide."

Mark Cuban Said He Was ‘Wide Open’ to Discussing VP Spot With Clinton and Trump

In an earlier interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" in May, Cuban said he was open to running for vice president with either Clinton or Trump. The billionaire also described his political affiliation as "fiercely independent."

But it wasn't that long ago that Cuban was fully backing the Republican presidential nominee. Trump hosted one of his largest campaign rallies last September at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, home to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and the NHL's Dallas Stars.

A couple months earlier, Cuban called the real estate mogul "the best thing to happen to politics in a long time."

"I have to honestly say he is probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long time," Cuban said in a statement last July on Cyber Dust, the private-messaging app he created.

"I don't care what his actual positions are, I don't care if he says the wrong thing," he continued. "He says what's on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years."

In another blast to his followers on his Cyber Dust app, Cuban said a month later that he wants to be a Republican but he disagrees with the GOP on most social issues and the party is a mess.

"I would prefer to be a Republican," Cuban wrote. "The Republicans have a much bigger problem that will crush them in every Presidential election until this changes."

He continued: "The Republican Party does everything possible to discourage leadership. They want dogma. They want conformity. They want to conserve their romanticized past. That's a shame. I wish they wanted to conserve the best of what America is today and find a leader that can take us to new places that make our future better."

Trump backers claim shift in his immigration rhetoric

CLEVELAND (AP) — As he turns his attention to the general election, Donald Trump is signaling that he is ready to tone down his fiery rhetoric on illegal immigration — at least behind closed doors.

At the same time, Republican officials appear eager to push him in a more moderate direction, telling Hispanics that he has abandoned his divisive primary pledge to deport the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally — even if Trump hasn't said so publicly himself.

"Trump has already said that he will not do massive deportations," Helen Aguirre Ferre, the Republican National Committee's director of Hispanic communications, told reporters at a Spanish-language briefing at the party's convention two weeks ago. Instead, she said, "he will focus on removing the violent undocumented who have criminal records and live in the country."

It's a statement that may come as a surprise to Trump's legion of loyal followers, many of whom were first drawn to Trump because of his hard-line views on immigration and border security. Trump has vowed to build a wall along the length of the southern border and use a "deportation force" to track down and deport anyone in the country illegally.

"You're going to have a deportation force, and you're going to do it humanely," Trump said in a TV interview last fall. He estimated in a separate interview that the process would take between 18 months to two years.

But those who would like to see Trump move in a more inclusive direction say that Trump has indicated that he no longer advocates that plan. As evidence, they point to several vague sentences from an interview Trump gave earlier this summer to Bloomberg News during a whirlwind trip to Scotland to visit his golf courses.

"President Obama has mass deported vast numbers of people — the most ever, and it's never reported. I think people are going to find that I have not only the best policies, but I will have the biggest heart of anybody," Trump told the outlet. Pressed on whether he would issue "mass deportations," Trump responded: "No, I would not call it mass deportations."

"We are going to get rid of a lot of bad dudes who are here," he was quoted as saying.

It remains unclear whether Trump was taking rhetorical or ideological issue with the phrase, and Trump has not made similar comments at any point since. Asked how he would manage the deportations at a press conference in Florida Wednesday, Trump said only, "We're going to have a whole policy on that over the next three weeks."

This kind of ambiguity is not unusual for Trump, whose vague statements often leave room for numerous, sometimes conflicting interpretations.

But for some who are supporting Trump and want to see him moderate, the meaning is clear.

"Two or three weeks ago, (Trump) conceded in an interview in Bloomberg in which he said the term 'massive deportation' is not used by him, and it was planted by a journalist," said the head of Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, Alfonso Aguilar, who recently signed a letter along with several other Latino conservatives endorsing Trump.

Aguilar said that he had seen in Trump's comments "something very interesting, which can be the beginning of an openness toward the center on immigration. He said he wants to remove only people with criminal record, not people without criminal record. It could be the openness toward a legalization."

A similar interpretation has also developed among Hispanic and religious leaders who have met with Trump privately in recent months. Trump, they say, has been signaling that he is open to embracing a less punitive immigration policy that focuses on "compassion" along with the rule of law. Seizing on what they see as an opportunity to steer the candidate, several have formed an informal advisory committee that has been working on a series of recommendation they hope to Trump will consider.

"He realizes that there are a lot of good people that are in the shadows. He wants some proposals on how to work on that," said Ohio-based televangelist Frank Amedia, who is helping to lead the effort.

Hillary Clinton told "Fox News Sunday" that her priority if elected would be to deport violent criminals and those linked to terrorism.

"But don't go rounding up hard working mothers and fathers, taking them out of the factories or the hotels or the homes where they're working, making them disappear and leaving their children alone," she said. "That doesn't make any sense to me."



A record 27.3 million Latinos will be eligible to vote in the 2016 presidential elections, according to the Pew Research Center. While much of Trump's backing comes from white males, he could gain an advantage in a tightening race if he makes gains with this critical demographic.

Trump, Amedia said, has expressed interests in a plan that would quickly deport "the undesirables" from the country. But the group has also been exploring various options to deal with the millions of otherwise law-abiding immigrants living in the shadows, who are often afraid to report crimes or abuse for fear of deportation.

"It's not satisfactory for them to stay in that position," Amedia said. "They too need to have a recourse where they can walk out of the shadows and into the light."

Pastor Herman Martir, the president Asian Action Network, who is also involved in the effort, said that after meeting recently with the candidate to discuss his community's concerns, he expects to see a "change of tone in terms of being inclusive."

"I think because of that dialogue, he understood the need to put together something that will work for everybody," he said. "The approach is more compassionate, not so much about gathering everyone and pushing them aside and turning them back."

8/2/16
GOP congressman: I’m voting for Clinton

Rep. Richard Hanna, R-N.Y., broke party ranks Tuesday and announced that he would vote for Hillary Clinton in November.

“While I disagree with her on many issues, I will vote for Mrs. Clinton,” he wrote in an op-ed on Syracuse.com.

There have been several high-profile critics of Donald Trump among Republican members of Congress, including some who said they would not vote for their own party’s nominee in the general election. However, Hanna is the first to say he would cast his ballot for Trump’s Democratic opponent.

In a separate interview with Syracuse.com, Hanna said his decision was motivated by Trump’s recent comments about a Muslim American family whose son heroically died in the Iraq War in 2004. The soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, passionately criticized Trump during last week’s Democratic National Convention. Trump pushed back in interviews and on Twitter, questioning why Khan’s wife was silent during the speech.

“I saw that and felt incensed,” Hanna told the outlet of Trump’s response. “I was stunned by the callousness of his comments.”

He added: “I think Trump is a national embarrassment. Is he really the guy you want to have the nuclear codes?”

The moderate, upstate New York congressman announced at the end of last year that he would retire at the end of his 2016 term.

8/2/16
Senate Republicans on the spot over Trump comments on Khan

WASHINGTON (AP) — The uproar over Donald Trump's criticism of a bereaved Army family put vulnerable GOP senators in a tight spot, underscoring anew the political challenges created for Republicans by their newly minted presidential nominee. And with the general election campaign now squarely underway, the firestorm over Trump's attacks on the Khan family is likely just a taste of trials to come as Republicans negotiate how closely to align with their volatile nominee.

Senate Republicans running for re-election weighed in one after another Monday to condemn Trump's repeated attacks on the parents of slain U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, with former prisoner of war Sen. John McCain of Arizona leading the charge. And in an op-ed Tuesday, a New York congressman became the first House Republican to announce that he would vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

McCain issued a lengthy statement insisting that Trump has no right "to defame those who are the best among us" and pleading: "I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates."

Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said Trump's comments "are not in line with my own beliefs about how the members of the military and their families should be treated."

Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina said that "Captain Khan is an American hero in every sense of the term and the Khans deserve our sincerest gratitude."

Yet as Democrats were quick to point out, most of the Republicans criticizing Trump had already declared their plans to vote for him for president, and despite their collective outrage, none of them withdrew their support. Several, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, avoided mentioning the billionaire by name.

President Barack Obama weighed in on Tuesday, declaring that Trump is unfit to be president and questioning why GOP leaders including Ryan and McConnell continue to support him.

"There has to be a point at which you say this is not somebody I can support for president of the United States, even if he purports to be a member of my party," Obama said at a White House news conference. "And the fact that that has not yet happened makes some of these denunciations ring hollow."

The furor surrounds Trump's accusations against Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004. Trump complained that Khizr Khan was "viciously attacking" him by appearing on stage at last week's Democratic National Convention holding up a copy of the Constitution, questioning whether Trump had even read it and asserting the billionaire had sacrificed nothing. Trump has responded by insisting he had made sacrifices and questioning why Ghazala Khan did not speak on stage, which she later said was because she was too bereaved.

It's just the latest Trump-created conundrum for Republican senators who need support from Trump's enthusiastic backers to win re-election, but risk alienating moderate Republicans, independents, minorities and women if they embrace the GOP nominee too closely.

"There's no question that Donald Trump is making it very difficult for House and Senate candidates who are running on the ballot in November," said Brian Walsh, a GOP strategist and former spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "In an ideal world we would have a candidate who would appropriately recognize his comments and apologize for them, but that's not the situation right now."

Writing in the Syracuse Post-Standard, GOP Rep. Richard Hanna said it's not enough to denounce Trump's comments. "He is unfit to serve our party and cannot lead this country." The lawmaker, who has announced his retirement, said that while he disagrees with Clinton on many issues, "I trust she can lead."

Candidates have also wrestled with whether to appear alongside Trump when he campaigns in their states. When Trump appeared Monday in Columbus, Ohio, vulnerable GOP Sen. Rob Portman was not on-hand; aides said he was doing previously scheduled events related to opioid legislation he has sponsored, although his schedule appeared to have him near-by. Grassley's aides also cited scheduling conflicts as the reason Grassley did not attend Trump events in Iowa last week.

Burr, on the other hand, joined Trump on the campaign trail in Winston-Salem, North Carolina last week, and other campaigns, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's, have said they're open to joint appearances with Trump. Trump is backed by all but two vulnerable GOP senators — Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is still in a "wait and see" mode, and Mark Kirk of Illinois, who withdrew his endorsement after Trump's attacks on a U.S. judge of Mexican heritage.

Backlash in Kansas ousts at least 11 conservative lawmakers
8/3/16

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A top Senate leader and at least 10 other conservative Kansas legislators have lost their seats as moderate Republicans made GOP primary races a referendum on education funding and the state's persistent budget woes.

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce was among the lawmakers ousted amid a backlash against Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and his allies.

The voting occurred against the backdrop not only of the state's fiscal woes but ongoing legal and political disputes over funding for public schools. The state Supreme Court could rule by the end of the year on whether the Legislature is shorting schools on their state aid by hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Kansas has struggled to balance its budget since the GOP-dominated Legislature slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback's urging to stimulate the economy. That's created concerns among educators about future spending on schools, even as many Republicans see the $4 billion-plus a year the state now spends as generous.

Bruce, from Nickerson, fell in his south-central Kansas district to Ed Berger, former president of Hutchinson Community College.

Bruce was a particular target because of his visibility as the Senate's No. 2 leader. He also had disagreements with the Senate's top leader, President Susan Wagle, of Wichita. Bruce is closer to Brownback than Wagle is.

"He seemed to care more about what the Brownback administration wanted rather than what the people he represented wanted," said Mary Dondlinger, an 80-year-old retired Hutchinson teacher and Republican who voted for Berger.

Five other conservative senators lost in races that spanned the state. So did five conservative House members, all of them from affluent Kansas City-area suburbs in Johnson County, the state's most populous, where voters have cherished good public schools for decades.

Wagle issued a statement saying that while some statistics show a better economy in Kansas — Brownback and his aides cite low unemployment, for example — such data "do not reflect how everyday Kansans view the direction of the state."

Bruce leaned partly on his record as a strong advocate of gun rights, having been the key backer of successful legislation to allow Kansans to carry concealed weapons without a state permit. Steve Brady, a 54-year-old Hutchinson business owner, said he voted for Bruce because he "is doing more positive things."

But the primary results suggested many Republicans were unhappy.

"Too many Kansans still feel that the sun is not rising for them and their families, despite what some leaders tell them," Wagle said.


Besides Bruce, the conservative senators who were unseated were Tom Arpke, of Salina; Forrest Knox, of Altoona; Jeff Melcher, of Leawood; Larry Powell, of Garden City; and Greg Smith, of Overland Park. All are Brownback allies.

Some Brownback critics focused more on the Republican primary for House seats. Ousting conservatives would further their goal of building a governing coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats on key education and budget issues.

The House conservatives who lost Republican primaries were Rob Bruchman, of Leawood; Brett Hildabrand, of Shawnee; Jerry Lunn, of Overland Park; Charles Macheers, of Shawnee; and Craig McPherson, of Overland Park.

Three other conservative Republicans trailed, but their races were close. They were Will Carpenter, of El Dorado; Kasha Kelley, of Arkansas City; and Connie O'Brien, of Tonganoxie.

Democratic Rep. Ben Scott, of Topeka, lost his seat to a former state lawmaker and Topeka-area political veteran, Vic Miller. The district has no GOP candidate in November.
