A few Republicans are responding to Donald "Rump" Trump's slurs on the Gold Star family of Ghazala and Khizr Khan, though most are hiding in their undisclosed locations:
Trump's slur against Captain Khan's mother is, even for him, beyond the pale. He has NO redeeming qualities.— John Weaver (@JWGOP) July 30, 2016
Trump's smear of Ghazala Khan is despicable. And if you don't agree, you're despicable. https://t.co/7RBlRiurRW— Bret Stephens (@StephensWSJ) July 31, 2016
This is the moment when right-thinking people wish to see Donald Trump devoured by dogs. https://t.co/yTAMkAoNil— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) July 30, 2016
If keeping track, Trump got 4 draft deferments over a foot spur. He's now gone after: 1. POW's; 2. a 4-Star general; 3. a gold-star mother.— Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) July 31, 2016
Just to be clear, @realDonaldTrump is a despicable little trust fund brat. https://t.co/W22Up7GufF— stuart stevens (@stuartpstevens) July 30, 2016
Memo to Trump supporters: He's a man of sadistic cruelty. With him there's no bottom. Now go ahead & defend him.— Peter Wehner (@Peter_Wehner) July 30, 2016

Remember that time Ronald Reagan attacked the parents of a fallen American soldier? Me neither.— Rob Stutzman (@RobStutzman) July 30, 2016
The moral cowardice of Republican "leaders" in refusing to take on the evil that is Trump must and will be remembered. As Mr. Khan said today, Trump "is a black soul" (assuming he has a soul at all).
UPDATE: The backlash from some (some) in his own party continues.
