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."

That’s a good question, too. The final beneficiary will be the Democrat party

That's right. And if we're not careful they'll have us helping them pound on that wedge.

>>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.

Agreed. This election cycle has really opened our eyes. When we sent these people to DC specifically to repeal Ocare, they hemmed and hawed and said it would be “really difficult”, “couldn’t be done” etc., we all couldn’t understand WHY.

Now we know WHY. Now we know America has been betrayed by these treasonous traitors in BOTH parties, against We the American People.

And who is responsible for bringing them out of the woodwork? Only ONE man, Donald J. Trump. We owe him our profound gratitude for this Great Awakening.

Now, where do we go from here?!?

>>GOPe/DNCe of Trump. Their level of hate is astounding.

They despise him because he exposed them and threatens to end their Gravy Train. That’s why it’s “Do or Die” for them, thus the all out assault on who they consider the Party Pooper.

Combine the anger of the people with the economic tsunami that is knocking on our door, and yes, it will be epic.

It is my hope that all good FReepers read and re-read those wonderful survival threads on FR for suggestions.

>>I don’t know how he does it, to keep going into the fire and remain steadfast! I keep him, and truly all those willing to put themselves through this, in my prayers.

He truly is a superhero, isn’t he. Courage, bravery, fearless, amazing toughness and energy, it’s the stuff of which heroes are made.

>>Irving Kristol, Bill’s father, coined the label “neo-con” to describe those Democrats who defected to the Republican party in the 1960s-1970s. They were the Trotskyite Democrats; now are the Trotskyite Republicans; the neo-cons; the RINOs. They are the globalist communists who have controlled the GOP for five decades, masquerading as capitalists. They are crony communists.

This is SO IMPORTANT for us to understand. For years, so many of us have looked at them as patriotic Americans, not the communists that they are. Now our eyes are opened wide.

I hope you continue to post this very important information in future posts. 99% of children have never even heard the word communist, and have no understanding of the propaganda and brainwashing that they are assaulted with every day at their “schools”.

“Arthur Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times, was there, too, a Times spokeswoman confirmed.”

Why is Pinch trying to help bring down Trump if, as the GOPe oligarchs, plutocrats and rich campaign “donors” claim, Trump will be slaughtered by Hillary? Shouldn’t Pinch be trying to PROMOTE Trump in that case?

Their private polls and focus groups have them in a full blown panic state. They know Trump will crush the criminal or the old hippie socialist.

>>If they put Mittens on a 3rd party run they destroy their down ticket!!! ON THE OTHER HAND which I LIKE ALOT better we go 3rd party and WE destroy their down ticket!!!

Yes, but I believe it’s too late logistically to get on the ballot of every state, especially if you’re not the GOPe, who greases the hands of their own people who are already in place in each of the states.

DJT has indicated on multiple occasions that he believes his best chance lies within the GOP. But, that may change, considering recent revelations.

The “Affordable Care Act” was a bailout disguised as some great “Progressive” policy with bells and whistles about abortion, birth control etc. etc.

It is a flat out bailout for the healthcare industry and the pharma people because everyone has to buy health insurance or get it subsidized partially or fully by the government (Medicaid expansion).

Cash flow has been opened wide into ‘healthcare’ by the ACA on the backs of everyone forced to buy insurance or the taxpayers-national debt.

ACA (Obamacare) caused the healthcare industry stocks to outperform others for the last several years.

The Cadillac Health Care Plan Tax also sets a cap for every employer on what they have to pay for healthcare.

It gives the employers the ability to shove health care costs onto employees with all the new copays employees now have to pay to avoid the employer having to pay the tax.

The Republicans will never get rid of it because Mitt Romney
launched the same idea in Massachusetts when he was governor to make the same special interests fat and happy off other people’s backs.

The GOP song and dance has been ‘repeal and replace’ as in replace with the same old policy with some window dressing.

>>Unless he’s on the hillary bandwagon too, he ought to unite with trump against both parties and they will kick a$$.

I think this is key. The GOPe has placed Cruz in a Truth moment. He either sides with the GOPe or Mr. Trump. Is Cruz really an outsider, pro-American, or is he one of the traitorous GOPe?

Observe what he DOES.

>>What did these illustrious and loyal citizens do to stop Obama?

Nothing. He was their boy from the start. They chose him.
We just weren’t able to put the puzzle pieces together before. It’s clear now.
