Arizona Republican Convention delegates quit in objection to Donald Trump
PHOENIX — Arizona’s GOP delegation to the national convention has lost two more members, each saying he couldn’t vote for presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
Frank Riggs, who ran for governor against Doug Ducey in 2014, told the Arizona Capitol Times that he had “serious reservations” about Trump, but also that he was staying behind to help his wife’s campaign for justice of the peace.
Zudi Jasser, a Muslim reform advocate and frequent guest on 92.3 FM KTAR, referred to Trump as a “daily embarrassment to conservatism” in his resignation letter.
Riggs said he “realized that I couldn’t go to Cleveland in good conscience and vote” for the business mogul.
“I guess if there are political consequences, I’ll face those down,” Riggs told the Times late last week.
In May, Riggs posted on Facebook his delight in his delegate
Already nine of the 58 delegates have quit.
That’s 15% of Trump’s Arizona delegates!
Role reversalOther delegates who have stepped down include Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Secretary of State Michele Reagan.
I wonder if these will just the first of more Trump delegates who bail on attending the Republican Convention in Cleveland rather than voting for Donald Trump?
