"I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, among many other Republican leaders, have said they will not vote for Trump in November after the release of the tape where the billionaire real estate mogul boasts of groping women.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued a strong statement in response to the release of the tape: "Enough! Donald Trump should not be President. He should withdraw. As a Republican, I hope to support someone who has the dignity and stature to run for the highest office in the greatest democracy on earth."
