Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a centrist Republican, announced Monday that she will not vote for Donald Trump, joining a growing list of GOP officials who have come out against the mogul for president. Collins becomes the latest in a small but growing group of Republican senators who have said they will not vote for Trump. “My conclusion about Mr. Trump’s unsuitability for office is based on his disregard for the precept of treating others with respect, an idea that should transcend politics,” Collins writes. Fifty national security officials who served under Republican presidents signed a letter Monday saying Trump is “not qualified” to be president. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham of South Carolina told CNN in May that he did not intend vote for Trump or Clinton.
