GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The Greenburgh Daily Voice accepts signed, original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To submit your letter, e-mail greenburgh@dailyvoice.com.

The time has come for Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino to join Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins and many other Republican national leaders in pledging to not vote for Donald Trump in November.

Trump's outrageous comment that Hillary Clinton could be assassinated by gun owners is the latest in a series of statements Trump has made that highlights his unfitness for the presidency.

As Collins stated, "Donald Trump does not reflect historical Republican values."

Fifty leading national security officials from past presidential administrations -- including the former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff and former CIA director Michael Hayden -- also were critical of Trump and said Trump would be "the most reckless president in American history."

If Astorino would publicly reject Trump, our county executive's independence and his decision to put the interests of our country ahead of partisan politics would be appreciated by the people of Westchester and by independent thinkers around the state.

And by acting now, he'll have a friend in the White House next year, which could be good for Westchester County.

Paul Feiner, a Democrat, is town supervisor of Greenburgh.
