A group of 75 retired career Foreign Service officers, including ambassadors and senior State Department officials under Republican and Democratic presidents over nearly a half-century, has signed an open letter (http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/national/former-ambassadors-sign-a-letter-refusing-to-vote-for-donald-trump/2155/) calling Donald Trump “entirely unqualified to serve as President and Commander-in-Chief.”

The diplomats said “none of us” will vote for Trump. While they said not all of them agreed with every decision made by Hillary Clinton, they said they all supported her candidacy. “Because the stakes in this election are so high,” the letter said, “this is the first time many of us have publicly endorsed a candidate for President.”

The letter is the latest in an unprecedented number of joint public statements signed by retired high-level government officials and military officers this election cycle. Most have focused on national security, and most have been against Trump. The most prominent exception was a letter early this month signed by 88 retired generals and other military officials who endorsed Trump as a “long overdue course correction in our national security posture.”

Last spring, more than 100 Republican national security experts signed a petition, even before Trump won the GOP nomination, saying they would never work for a Trump administration. Last month, 50 more Republicans, including former top aides and Cabinet members for the George W. Bush administration, signed a letter saying Trump would be “the most reckless president in American history” and that none of them would vote for him.

I'll bet Jobama and the Lying Hag would be willing to sign that, maybe you might sigh if they asked you nicely!

This is another positive for Trump. The people who fucked up the world don't want Trump. That is a win for Trump.

In context your statement makes no sense. I suppose that is to be expected.

The democratic party and the republican party are two sides of the same coins.

Some people are too stupid to realize that.

If I'm so stupid why are you going to vote a straight party Republican ticket this year?

The last President what was so dangerous, was Ronald Reagan.

If these so-called "diplomats" can support Hillary Clinton, their "brand" of diplomacy ought to be questioned.
