For months, Donald Trump’s rise in the Republican Party silenced conservative elites.

Unable to go against the public, yet weary of his bombast and seemingly loose party allegiance, traditional Republicans largely stayed out of primary politics.

But now as Trump — the official Republican nominee — stands votes away from the presidency, more and more high-profile Republicans are breaking their silence: They cannot and will not vote for Trump in November.

Former president George H.W. Bush is the latest, reportedly telling Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, former Maryland lieutenant governor and the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, that he is voting for Hillary Clinton, according to Politico.
