Some are now openly saying they will vote for the possible Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. John McCain’s strategist Mark Salter said in a tweet:

Others in the GOP have said in the past they would support Trump if he became the nominee, but are now changing their minds.

“I think Donald Trump has proven to be unbalanced and uniquely unqualified to be president,” Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign strategist said, according to the Times.
