A group of 50 Republican national security officials who served under Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes have signed on to a letter saying that Donald Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president. The letter also says (and this is a verbatim quote): "We are convinced that in the Oval Office, he would be the most reckless President in American history.”


Quote: Washington Post
Although no former secretaries of state signed the letter, it carries the signatures of Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge, former secretaries of homeland security; Michael Hayden, a former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency; John Negroponte, a former director of national intelligence and deputy secretary of state; Robert Zoellick, who also was a deputy secretary of state and president of the World Bank and the U.S. trade representative under George W. Bush; Carla Hills, the U.S. trade representative under George H.W. Bush; and William H. Taft IV, a former deputy secretary of defense and ambassador to NATO under the elder Bush.

Also signing the letter were several aides who were senior advisers in the White House, State Department and Pentagon. Among them were Eric Edelman, a national security adviser to then-Vice President Richard B. Cheney, and Bellinger, who worked closely with Rice when she was secretary of state and when she was on the NSC.

Are you talking about Reagan? They said
the same thing about him, and far worse.

the Russians and couldn't wait to wipe

Republicans said that about Reagan?

Did they say it after he was the nominee?

EB has some imagination. There's probably some comments like that about Reagan, but nothing like that letter.

Some comments? It was in every negative ad
the Dems had on TV. A pic of an atom bomb
going off and a pic of Reagan.

Sound familiar?

"In 1980 they said Ronald Reagan couldn't be trusted with nuclear codes, that he was a 'cowboy' who might blow up the world."

Who exactly is "they" below?

In this ad, say Trump when they
say Reagan, it fits perfectly. It's
the Dem playbook at work.

Attack ads aren't the same as
