but Leonard Lance - he is in a very very safe district.

He's already put on his fb page - he condemns Trump - not the language - the man.

Former Rep. Vin Weber (R-MN) told CNBC that he won't vote for Donald Trump and that nominating the billionaire businessman to be the GOP's nominee was "a mistake of historic proportions."

In a candid and unfettered interview, Weber told CNBC that Trump may do irrevocable damage the Republican Party if he wins in November.

"I can't imagine I'd remain a Republican if he becomes president," said Weber, now a lobbyist in Washington. "I don't know how the Republican Party survives if Trump becomes president."

Weber said that he was confounded by so many of Trump's policies, from his posture toward trade to his attacks against the family of a fallen Muslim American soldier. "I think markets would collapse," he told CNBC in the phone interview, rattling off a series of fears he harbors about Trump's candidacy including the fact that Trump could leave the country "in shambles."
