"Unbelievable", "embarrassing" even "dangerous" are some of the words the financial elite gathered at the World Economic Forum conference in the Swiss resort of Davos have been using to describe U.S. Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Although some said they still expected his campaign to founder before his party picks its nominee for the November election many said it was no longer unthinkable that he could be the Republican candidate.
Some noted that whatever the outcome, a heated campaign, which has also seen self-proclaimed Socialist Bernie Sanders provide a tough challenge to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, could alter the U.S. political environment, giving vent to new populist anger on both sides of the political divide.

They don’t care how much misery they create, how many millions they throw out of work, which nations they destroy, etc. - its just about power (money they have, and they use it to buy power). Screw them!

Thought the same thing. I wonder if some of them are paid government trolls.
Free trade? Seriously?
I’ll bet the blowhard ‘elites’ want some control freak like Bloomberg who gets off on pushing the little people around. He’s their kind of man... or jerk.. what ever they call puffed up elite control freaks...
