Gov. Haslam cites 'real concerns' about long-term future of national GOP

NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam said Thursday he has concerns about the long-term future of the Republican Party at the national level.

"When we're losing the way we are with women and minorities and millennials, that's a concern to me," the Republican governor said.

Haslam has previously voiced concerns about GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and recently said he would not vote for Trump and instead write in another Republican in the Nov. 8 election.

The House and Senate, I don't see how the Republican party can go to a moderate position on anything. And its something they did to themselves.
