Republicans who deserted Trump

Fellow Republicans have been deserting candidate Donald Trump for months over various scandals. More than 30 senior politicians said they could no longer back him after a tape recording of Donald Trump making disparaging remarks about women was brought under spotlight.

Some republicans have openly declared that they will not be voting for Trump in the upcoming US election, whereas some only expressed their dislike for him. Some of them even went as far as to declare their support for democratic rival Hillary Clinton rather than their own party member!
