"Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute's annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering.

The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he "cannot support Donald Trump."

THey don’t pay for any of it.

We the People pay for all of the politicians. They had first class hotel rooms, 5 star dining and cocktails, the best wine, maybe a round of golf.

Who know? But we do know that We the People paid for every dime of it as it relates to the politicians

Trump tried to pave the way to run this election with those donations, but the Super Pac money donations, is millions not just thousands. Plus they give every single year.

Trump is NOT hated by everyone, especially Dems- why else has he done so well in the open primary states, and so much worse in the closed primary states? Think Dem crossovers!

Wise words, Jane.

“Trump is the country’s last hope.”

Truer words were never spoken.

Its worse than you think.

There has been a bounty on Trump’s head almost since the race began, by El Chapo.

there needs to be a group ,similar to the anonymous hackers group ,unidentifiable , that states : anyone found complicit in Mickeying this election will be placed upon a list and they can expect a visit at their place of residence at some undetermined time in the future. That there will be a cost for political corruption.

Trump is not hated by the voting/working class....only the ruling class and socialists.

Big difference. Folks are turning out in droves, in a lot of job depressed areas, to see and vote for the man who they see as the last chance to bring back their jobs.

I too noticed the open jacket and wondered about the purpose, knowing it was no accident. Trump is too impeccable to have failed to button up.

I concluded he was carrying. I did not know a jacket can not be buttoned over a bullet proof vest, but his coats are tailored to fit to perfection and doesn’t include room for a bullet p. vest.

Thank you for the link.

Romney and the dirty tricks/Cheap Labor cabal (many who attended this heinous meeting) are evil.

That’s the hilarious part that people don’t seem able to think through.

“Liberal” Trump should be on the top of every liberal voter’s list, above Hillary and Bernie.

The tech-types SHOULD be singing his praises from the front page of every tech site they control.

Instead they’re resorting to working with people on the right, to try and shut him down - because - ?

I very much agree.

I pray for a sweeping BACKLASH coast to coast. How to get that done in 8 days is up to God and Greyhound.

Our party is a danger to the Republic. So is the Democrat Party.

Only TRUMP, 2016

I heard him interview a couple weeks ago and he stated he has been wearing it at all times in public appearances for “some time”.
