Gee, loyalty in the GOPee doesn’t run very deep!

A story that circulated after the lunch was that the donors engaged in a hypothetical question: “If it was Donald Trump running against Hillary Clinton, who would you vote for?”
One version has it that most of the Republicans at the table put their hands up for Clinton.
Schnabel disputes that account and said in a telephone interview Tuesday that it was just banter among friends and that he is confident that all the Republicans at the table would support the final GOP nominee for president, whomever that turns out to be.
Schnabel called back later on Tuesday afternoon to clarify what he meant. “My only caveat would be that ... I assume that the Republican we’ll nominate will be somebody that would make a great president,” he said. “That’s not a conversation we’ve had to have in the past, but obviously there are some we would be concerned about.”
The four Republican donors sitting at that lunch table — Schnabel, Freeman, Spogli and Riordan — have between them contributed more than $2.7 million to candidates and political action committees over their careers.
All have donated to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign, and Freeman and Spogli have given $1 million and $50,000, respectively, to the pro-Bush super-PAC Right to Rise.
And they’re not “biased” or anything like that; right? LOL
"If it was Donald Trump running against Hillary Clinton, who would you vote for?"I'm pretty sure you could put Cincinatus' Wife in that camp of warped minds.One version has it that most of the Republicans at the table put their hands up for Clinton.
I would believe little if anything I read in the Hill. Especially a claim prefaced with “One version”.
Of course they would. They are making a point. Using a principle of The Art of the Deal. Trying to show they have something to bargain with, even if it's the fate of the American people.
