Huffington Post: At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump
Huffington Post ^ | 03/07/2016 | Ryan Grim,

"Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute's annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering.

The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he "cannot support Donald Trump."

Apple and Google and their likes really don’t need to import more cheap foreign laborers. They’ve got thousands and thousands of them already - can’t even build enough offices to house them all. And these firms can do this work overseas too and pay the same foreigners even less to do it there. So, there’s something else motivating these guys. I’d like to hear what it might be. (And meanwhile they’ve gotta be stopped of course)

Saturday Night Live pulled off a skit to attract the unhinged against TRUMP. A “comedy” of Trump supporters, one by one, who turn out to be KKK, Nazis, and White Supremacists.

Seriously, these entrenched globalist Republicans don’t budge unless Democrats defeat them. They dodge most all the Republican insurgents running against them.

The National Senate Re-election Committee sees to that easily enough.

naïve is how I feel as well. but I did not believe in evil until 2003, nor fear (and then love God) until 2008.

I wonder if this is why Rush was off today, possibly attending this secret meeting.

I wonder how come they all get to be off the record, then demand Trump disclose all!

It’s a “World Forum” but the discussions are secret. Orwellian.

Reagan Democrat voters like Trump. The SEIU and Priorities USA have been running anti-Trump ads for months.

I posted the anti-Trump Super Pac expenditures on another thread.

Trump is nowhere near as horrible as you are. Bet you couldn’t fill an outhouse with supporters.

I’ve come to believe in recent years that 95 percent of all elected Republicans in places like the House and Senate, for example, are not conservatives.

Some like Peter King of NY openly hostile to conservatism, others pretending to varying degrees with some like Senator Cotton and my congressman, Scott Perry of PA, posturing to be all for the Constitution and Conservatism till their faces turn blue.

I hear that, but nothing surprises me anymore. I’d bet it will come from both sides, just to rid the GOPe/DNCe of Trump. Their level of hate is astounding.

It’s not about them not “wanting what is best for us”...it’s about complete & utter control of the populace so we do not stand in the way of their ongoing New World Order implementation.

There is an epic showdown coming, and SHTF will follow it.

“I cringe every time i see Trump walking thru a crowd”

I heard he was carrying months ago, but the body armour story is new. Makes sense, though.

Won’t do much for a headshot (ala RFK), but it’s something, anyway.

This is all coming up now because there is still time to defeat this bozo.

Sure thing, Mitt.
