At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump
The Huffington Post ^ | March 7, 2016 | Ryan Grim Washington bureau chief for The Huffington Post

A highlight of the gathering was a presentation by Rove about focus group findings on Trump. The business mogul's greatest weakness, according to Rove, was that voters have a very hard time envisioning him as "presidential" and as somebody their children should look up to. They also see him as somebody who can be erratic and shouldn't have his (small) fingers anywhere near a nuclear trigger.

Strange... It may have all started on an island off the coast of Georgia, and hopefully it will end on an island off the coast of Georgia. Jekyll Island to Sea Island.

I don’t like these people thinking they can control our government. They need some serious lessons.

Why? They've controlled it for most of the last 100 years.

Ahhhh! Such a good excuse for a champagne dinner with Oregon Dungeness Crab, Wagyu Kobe Rib Eye with miso-truffle butter, and Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah 2010 ($200/bottle) Bon Appettit fellas! In your drunken stupor, stay away from the tracks. The Trump Train will be swinging by lickity-split and you don’t want to be a bump in the tracks.

Judging from the way their duvenile delinquent kids turn out they aren’t such great role models themselves. Looks like Trump did more than okay by his and is a great role model!

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.”

Along with Ryan, the House was represented by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.), Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) and almost-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), sources said, along with leadership figure Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) and Diane Black (Tenn.)

And how many more?

They asked Ted Cruz to sell out and he gladly obliged by jumping into bed with communists and domestic terrorists telling American voters they might as well STFU. This is the worst thing a Republican candidate for President has EVER done to chill the free speech rights of loyal hard working Americans that USED TO support him.

“Make no mistake, this is the party against the people.”

Whoever you would vote for, I would expect to see a (D) next to their name.
