Ninety-Five Percent of GOP Primary Donors Turn Back on Donald Trump in General Election
Breitbart ^ | 30 Sep 2016 | Katie McHugh

Posted on 10/02/2016 1:37:57 AM PDT by detective

The major donors who supported the GOP establishment’s favored candidates during the primaries are now standing on the sidelines or have switched sides to support Hillary Clinton, says a survey by the Los Angeles Times. Ninety-five percent of GOP primary donors are “sitting out” the general election, the newspaper found. Also, donors who backed Trump’s 16 primary rivals have already given $2 million to Clinton, while sending only $7.4 million from to Trump.

Overall, FEC records through August 31 show Clinton brought in $530 million while Trump lagged with $186 million in donations.

If any of this is true, it simply means that the ‘big money contributors’ are just cronyists who will flock to whichever party in power gives them the best deal with whatever ‘public-private partnership’ arrangement they are being bribed with. Since Trump isn’t playing that game, they are going to the DemonRats.......Quelle surprise!!

They are showing contempt for the people, and burning the bridges with regards to their “base”. The GOPe is through, as far as I am concerned.

There needs to be major score settling.

I don’t believe that is true. Some are but not a majority.

He doesn’t look to be winning in the polls. If he loses it will be because of his protectionist rhetoric.

Is it possible that someone could put together a comprehensive and definitive list of these people and the businesses involved who were “primary Republican donors” who are now donating to Hillary Clinton and thus trying to destroy my freedoms, destroy my livelihood and loot decades of retirement savings, destroy the life of me, my family, my friends just because their cheap labor is more important to them than whether we lose our free speech and are targetted to be taxed into extermination and our children taken from us?

Because, I want to know who they are so that if possible, I can at least try to spend the rest of my life in my own small way trying to destroy them just as they are trying to destroy me. Because it reaches a point that goes beyond politeness and is a question of simple survival. We have already crossed that line, and nothing is forgiven - even if we win. Even more so as it makes the possibility of hitting back with everything even more within reach. Call it a “comprehensive situation plan”.

Is this really true? The media fibs so much, it makes me
wonder if this really happened.

I see Barbara Bush, the daughter, attended a high-class party given by Annna Wintour and Huma Abedin last night.

None of that mattered. Obama had The Machine behind him and some unknown powers behind that machine. Hillary never had a chance.

So if the LA times knows it’s 95%, wouldn’t it be easier to report on the number rather than the percentage? Could it be the number would show there’s a handful of big GOP donors which fits the narrative that neither party works for the people?

‘The ones supporting Hillary should be ashamed of themselves.’

The ones supporting Hillary should taste their own vomit every minute of the day.

It was not a party. It was a Clinton fundraiser.

George H.W. Bush told high profile Democrat Kathleen Townsend that he was going to vote for Hillary Clinton and refused to deny it when Townsend spread it through the media.

Jeb Bush has said he won’t vote for Trump and said, “I Cannot Support His Candidacy”.

Former first lady Laura Bush, Barbara Bush’s mother, hinted she will vote for Clinton over Trump.

“I want our next president — whoever he or she might be — to be somebody who is interested in women in Afghanistan and who will continue US policies ... that we continue to do what we’re committed to do as a country,” Laura Bush said.

“After this election I will become a card carrying member of the constitution party. I will never again support or vote for any Republican. I have never voted democrat, never will.”

Ditto.

My down-ticket slate includes that insufferable Mark Kirk and his futile attempt at re-election. I’ll not vote for him, and I sure as hell will not vote for the equally insufferable Tammy Duckworth. I’m going to write-in my dog’s name. Seriously.

“Ninety-five percent of GOP primary donors are “sitting out” the general election, the newspaper found. “

This tells you exactly how many globalists donate to the Republican Party. Whatever the outcome of the election, Trumps ability to bring this junk out if the shadows is astounding.

“Methinks there will be some score-settling if Trump becomes President.”

I would start with a fairness doctrine designed to put the main stream media out of business. Sort of along the same path Obama did with the coal industry.

Second thing would be to go after the corrupt politicians. I would do them after the media so the media cannot focus on anything else but their own issues.

Final thing for the first day in office is to end all UN funding as well as funding any country who violates people’s human rights. Also, declare UN a terrorist group and start locking up those parking ticket violators.

If you are in Harry Reid’s district you need to do down ballot voting US Rep David Heck (R) is running against him. Check out his bio. He’s a battlefield surgeon. Might not be perfect, but a ton better than the Obama brown nosing Reid.
