Ohio billionaire and longtime Republican donor Les Wexner says he is officially done with the party, and was prompted to leave after former President Barack Obama visited the state.

The announcement, made at a panel discussion, came the same day Obama visited Columbus before heading to a rally in Cleveland to support Democrat Richard Cordray’s run for governor.

He was struck by Hussein’s humility? Candor? Empathy for others?

How can such a smart guy be so stupid? Hussein is the OPPOSITE of all of those things.

Looks like there are lots of uber rich folks what are dumbasses. Is it ego? Do they believe that the only way they got to be rich is because they are smarter than eveyone? Always baffles me.

Maobama sized you up as a simpleton, Les. No alterations necessary.

Did he say he was going to join the Bolshekratic party, or, is it coinciding with a visit by jOkeass that the slime stream is citing?

Wexner is confusing Obama with Obama’s teleprompter. It’s the teleprompter that has candor, humility and empathy for others.

I wonder if Obama would be able to sell him ocean front lots supposedly located in Nebraska or Alberta.

The guy supported only Romney and Jeb and is pretty much a big RINO - supporting many Democrat causes.

Les, peers to be a fool. Say, do you suppose he knows what would happen to the other half of the republican party if he killed his half?

Yep, Puddin’head Wexler.

he “won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party” anymore

What nonsense would that be?

A good economy, strong borders, less regulation, fair trade, a strong military?
