“There is a deeper and deeper concern that he could actually be elected president,” Chris Kelly, an early top executive at Facebook and Clinton supporter, told the Chronicle.
However, a number of leading tech executives in communication with Breitbart News have quietly conveyed their admiration for Trump and his campaign, particularly his ability to use social media rather than traditional ad buys.
Furthermore, Trump’s intention to end the H-1B visa program, on which many tech companies rely as an inexpensive alternative to paying American workers higher wages, has rubbed some in Silicon Valley the wrong way.
Trump has said that he still supports making legal immigration easier for skilled people.
The San Francisco Republican Party Chairwoman, Christine Hughes, told the Chronicle that Trump’s decision making is “scary.” She has in the past reportedly hosted fundraisers for Rubio, Kasich and Carson. Unlike Trump, Rubio has long been hailed as the “tech exec savior,” particularly over his support for the H-1B visa program and his more liberal immigration stance.
The quiet pro-Trump constituency in Silicon Valley is reluctant to come forward for fear of being attacked by their liberal counterparts. But Trump’s managerial style, which critics deride as erratic and authoritarian, is actually an approach favored by many in the high-tech world.
Trump has “disrupted” the political world, much as Silicon Valley entrepreneurs aim to disrupt traditional ways of business.
That has many in Silicon Valley quietly cheering for The Donald.

I'm supposed to feel sorry for the farging bastages?
“There is a deeper and deeper concern that he could actually be elected president,”
I’m sure they are talking about Cruz, not Trump.
Cruz is the only one who can bet Hillary. /s
Trump has the same enemies as I do. Who should I vote for? ....
Trump should go to Silicon Valley and do a speech right across the street from HP.
The company who started H1b outsourcing under Carly.
Oppose Trump today, train your replacement from Asia tomorrow.
> “Furthermore, Trump’s intention to end the H-1B visa program, on which many tech companies rely as an inexpensive alternative to paying American workers higher wages, has rubbed some in Silicon Valley the wrong way.”
Trump is reducing their corporate tax burden from 35% to 15%. With a windfall of tax savings they can well afford to hire and pay higher wages for Americans.
Oops, looks like someone forgot to tell them that he just flip-flopped on the H-1B Visa program.
“There is a deeper and deeper concern that he could actually be elected president,” Chris Kelly, an early top executive at Facebook and Clinton supporter, told the Chronicle. “
Exactly. Hillary and her supporters are terrified of Trump.
Republicans need to pay attention and support Trump and help him defeat Hillary.
If I recall Trump reversed himself on H1B visas at last Thursday’s debate.
He straightened it out the next day.
I live here.
The anti ‘anything conservative bias’ is stunning.
Trump goes with the flow of the people he is talking to—just like Iowa corn. The man has no convictions. You don’t know what you are getting besides entertainment.

Yup! These are the GOPe $hitballs we’ve had in CA for a couple of decades. After three terms as an elected GOP County Central Committee Member, I resigned because they were not Conservative and were ineffective.
Your man voted for increasing H-1B visas, but the reality is Trump said he is softening his position a little.
Trump is not going to e d HB visas.
Well yesterday anyway, who knows what he’ll say next Tuesday.
It would seem that Trump is offering them an alternative that would be agreeable to them, but he isn't. The difference between making immigration easier and the H-1B program is that the H1-B program keeps immigrants tied to the companies that sponsor them. They have little freedom to compete in the marketplace. These companies want indentured servants. What Trump would do is give them citizenship quicker, which frees the indentured servants to compete for higher wages.
Two words for Silicon Valley libs and their ilk: run, bitches.
Rubio is Zuckerberg’s puppet. Screw him and the H1-Burro he rode in on.
Facebook just paid EACH of its British employees, a $1.1 million bonus.
Even at $100k a year (say), that's still ten years' wages at a shot.
