Dr. Cohen, a former counselor to the the State Department, is weighing in on the ‘menace' who is Donald Trump. He has some very strong words about this treasonous and reckless individual.
He’s hoping more Republicans come forward and rebuke Trump and is disturbed more haven't. He may be waiting longer. This is a striking rebuke of Donald Trump, who in my opinion represents a clear and present danger to this country.
It appears Dr. Cohen recognizes the danger here as well.

It’s appalling,” Dr. Eliot A. Cohen, who was counselor of the State Department during the second term of George W. Bush’s presidency, said to me today. “Calling on a foreign government to go after your opponent in an American election?”
Cohen recently organized an open letter from a range of GOP national security leaders that denounced Trump in harsh terms, arguing that Trump’s “own statements” indicate that “he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world.” The letter said: “As committed and loyal Republicans, we are unable to support a Party ticket with Mr. Trump at its head. We commit ourselves to working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.”
Cohen, the counselor to State under Bush, argued to me that more GOP officials needed to step up.
“An enormous amount rests on Republican politicians being willing to say something,” Cohen said. “What’s disturbing is how many will dodge the issue and say, ‘oh, he doesn’t mean it.'”
“He’s completely unqualified to be president and would be a menace if he were to get there,” Cohen said. “I do wish more prominent Republicans would step forward and say that.”
