"John Boehner (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/rep.-john-boehner.htm)'s former press secretary, Michael Steel, has joined the club of Republicans denouncing Donald Trump (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/donald-trump.htm). In a Time Magazine op-ed today, he wrote that the GOP presidential (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/elections/republican-presidential-candidates.htm) nominee is "not a Republican."
"He's a third-party populist candidate," Steel told ABC News' Jonathan Karl and Rick Klein today on the "Powerhouse Politics" podcast. He said Trump "captured the nomination of the Republican party (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/republican-party.htm) because of a five-car, six-car pileup in the establishment lane. He essentially was able to hijack the party."
"When asked if he thought the race for the White House was over, Steel responded, "Yes. Yeah," citing the diminishing chances of Trump's win in traditionally Republican states like Utah, Georgia and Arizona."
====================================
Thanks to ABC News for this report.
Imho, As more and more Republicans leave Donald Trump fearing a great loss in November they are citing their reason as being that Trump is not a Republican. But he is. They are just scared of how BIG the loss will be for the Republican Party as a whole and are trying to minimize the bombshell announcement next month.
