Two leaders in the Cache County Republican Party have resigned from the party over presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump. In a letter to members of the Cache County Republican Party Executive Committee, Andy Rasmussen and Jonathan Choate say, "The decision by the Executive Committee to take no public action disavowing our presidential nominee has left us in a difficult position...Donald Trump is directly antithetical to nearly every traditional Republican value...His unapologetic racism, xenophobia, and misogyny disqualify him from consideration as a precinct chair, let alone the presidency.”
They go on to say, “We also fully appreciate the awful specter of Hillary Clinton in the White House. Yet this is not merely a binary choice between the two. This Republic is threatened by either nominee winning the Presidency. But if Trump becomes the face of the GOP, we are truly lost. Where will the legitimate, principled, and conservative opposition come from then?”
