It is no secret how the average Democrat feels about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Most Republicans seem to ignore the scathing criticisms that come from their own party — and the fact that a majority of the GOP wishes they had someone beside Trump as their nominee. The following Republican politicians speak from a place of fear for the future of their party.

1. Mitt Romney on "The Donald"

Resumé:

— Former Governor of Massachusets (2003-2007)

— 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee

What was said:

Think of Donald Trump's personal qualities, the bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third grade theatrics. We have long referred to him as 'The Donald.' He is the only person in the entire country to whom we have added an article before his name. And it wasn't because he had attributes we admired.

2. Ben Sasse on Trump's criticism of Judge Curiel

Resumé:

— United States Senator from Nebraska (2015-present)

What was said:

Public Service Announcement:
Saying someone can't do a specific job because of his or her race is the literal definition of "racism."

3. Ted Cruz on Trump's psychology

Resumé:

— Solicitor General of Texas (2003-2008)

— United States Senator from Texas (2013-present)

What was said:

I'm going to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. He accuses everybody on that debate stage of lying. And it's simply a mindless yell. Whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen.

4. Mitch McConnell on Trump needing a script

Resumé:

— United States Senator from Kentucky (1985-present)

What was said:

He needs someone highly experienced and very knowledgeable because it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues...You see that in the debates in which he’s participated. It’s why I have argued to him publicly and privately that he ought to use a script more often — there is nothing wrong with having prepared texts.

5. *Michael Bloomberg on Trump's business

Resumé:

— CEO of Bloomberg L.P.

— Mayor of New York City (2002-2013)

What was said:

Throughout his career, Trump has left behind a well-documented record of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits, angry shareholders, and contractors who feel cheated, and disillusioned customers who feel ripped off. Trump says he wants to run the nation like he's run his business. God help us.

*Bloomberg is not a registered Republican but served as Mayor of New York City on the Republican ticket. He is now registered as an Independent.
