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."

For the crushing to begin and for it to really work, Trump is going to have to match these guys $ for $. I know he said he was self funding and has turned down big donors....these billionaire bastards have changed the rules. Take the money Donald and explain to the people that you’re fighting back for US.

I believe you are correct. It looks like this is going to be the age-old, classic theme: GOOD VS. EVIL.

The world’s entities are going to come out on one side or the other.

We need to not only pray, but each individual needs to do whatever they can, in their own way, to contribute time, energy, money, whatever.... to advance the cause of GOOD.

Hey, was anyone from Microsoft there? If so....this would be a huge conflict of interest since the GOP are using their apps during the election.

You’ve summed things up nicely, gsg. Let’s pray their evil plan fails miserably. I believe Almighty God is the only one who can stop them.

The slogan for the 2016 presidential election should be: “IT’S THE VOTING MACHINES, STUPID!!!” At the end if the day, whoever controls the voting machines & the software that runs them is all that really matters. There will never be a fair & truthful election in this country. Yet we demonize countries like Russia. Quite pathetic.

“Cruz is not eligible” With a corrupt court system controlled by the establishment, he shall be deemed eligible, if it means stopping Trump. These people are evil to the core.

“If you think a court is going to find Cruz ineligible, you are dreaming. Just saying.”

Truer words were never spoken :(

I don’t think they’ll have to kill him.

They control the voting machines in most precincts.

It will never come to that.

They’ll just destroy him politically and financially as a lesson to anyone else who might wish to disrupt their hegemony going forward.

This is literally a war for America. Nothing less. Will Potter win, or will the American people ?

Never been more clear what is happening.

That is interesting on Cruz eligibility . What is true as they ( DEMS) can pick any federal court in the nation and place that issue in the appellate court they want. If it goes to SCOTUS full of the crappy judges appointed by republicrats , you may be right!! I don’t even want Cruz as VP for that reason.
