"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."

I’m exposing those names on Twitter. I hope others will do the same.
Well we don’t hear of secret GOP mtgs where there is a plot to deny Cruz the nomination. Do we? I haven’t heard of any.
That's a good question.
The polls showing Trump losing to Hillary don't prove anything and everyone knows it. Sulzberger fears Trump because, even if he thinks the polling is unbiased and accurate today, he knows that a lot can change in a week, let alone six months. If Trump is nominated he might win. And no doubt internal polling and focus group research has shown that Hillary can be beaten by someone willing to go after her hard. No one will go after Hillary harder than Trump, I can guarantee that.
We have some younger relatives, who had Cadillac Health Plans. Besides the higher co pays, they are now facing incredibly high deductibles.
So they have changed how they handle their health care. They get their flu shots and other shots at pharmacies and use more otc’s.
Since they are basically healthy, they now go to a walk in clinic for most of their health care doctor visits and pay cash. No one is wasting money on expensive yearly physicals on healthy people with healthy parents/grandparents.
Ironically, the above has cut down on health care costs in other ways.
An example, a couple of our female in laws, under their old health plans spent a lot time in Derm offices to try and maintain their younger facial charms when they approached their 50’s.
That changed when their copays and deductibles failed to cover their vanity office visits.
The Cadillac Health Care Plan Tax also sets a cap for every employer on what they have to pay for healthcare.
It gives the employers the ability to shove health care costs onto employees with all the new copays employees now have to pay to avoid the employer having to pay the tax.
I USED to laugh at Alex Jones. Too much going on now; social media makes it easier to see.
Pretty soon, these Oligarchs won’t allow cell phones into these things.
Do you think they CARE?
Artificial Intelligence is emergent, robotics is coming along nicely, and microdrones will help to observe and, when necessary, kill.
The Elites have no good plans for humanity.
Welcome to the new world, my friend.
Republican v. Democrat, conservative v. liberal is SO eight years ago. The mask is gone; we were being played for fools the whole time.
The fight is between us and those who would be our masters. And Trump is riding the crest of our wave.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
“...trillions of dollars at stake ... huge machine being spun up to defeat us ...”
This is what is happening and Trump is our only chance to get rid of them. That’s it. Cruz can’t stop this. Vote Trump or expect an oligarchy party in power forever in the former USA.
The actual will of the American people will never return if we put someone in power who is a puppet to these oligarchs. Not having enough money or resources to be a power player is the de facto recipe for that puppet/candidate to emerge.
Pray hard for America and please wake up Cruz voters; at least do not take a NeverTrump stance for the sake of the country.
This meeting ought to be enough evidence that the reason they hate Trump is because he is for real when he says that he wants to make America great again ... how is this “liberal”?? The liberals are the ones who want America to apologize.
Scott outed himself when he endorsed Rubio, very disappointing.
see my #268 - we are on the exact same page and you said it best. It is worth repeating your quote because it is so accurate:
“the fight is between us those who would be our masters. And Trump is riding the crest of OUR wave”
Meaning he is the only one with us the people.
Trump will need prayers for safety and for injustice prevention (at the polls) because these people are cornered, dangerous and will stop at nothing to stop him.
Hillary is Lady MacBeth of our day, she will stop at nothing either for power.
Yep.
I miss America.
Bumpity bump! ALL FREEPERS READ!!!
“...who benefits from driving a permanent wedge between Trump’s and Cruz’s supporters...”
That is the exact question to ask - excellent post.
Who does benefit? (Hillary)
So let’s not fall for it here! The NeverTrump mindset needs to go away.
Cruz followers and Trump followers need to make peace or we have fallen into an establishment trap.
Excellent post. Bill Kristol and the neo cons are Trotskyites and traitors. I’ve known it for years.
Pray for America and for Trump.
Your words bear repeating:
“...RINOS. They are the globalist communists who have controlled the GOP for five decades, masquerading as communists. They are crony communists.”
Add the Pope to the list of globalist communists as well. He is there to ensure that “catholics” in the “progressive” wing of the catholic church get on board to destroy the USA as a nation and circumvent the will of the people to have a nation with borders in the name of “social justice”.
Catholic Charities is paid lots of money for each “refugee” it “resettles”.
Not to digress - just to point out that the globalist one world order cabal has many tentacles.
H-1B = corporate welfare.
Things can backfire on the best laid plans...
Tim Scott at this meeting.
Read this?
All those screwing this country are on it.
Apple, for instance, brags about their huge profits and their giant cash holdings, in the hundreds of billions of dollars, and about how little US taxes they pay, while claiming they couldn’t possibly afford to manufacture their products in America so they build them in China.
They don’t want Trump as President as he might incentivize them to manufacture in the USA.
“Tom Cotton of AR? Seriously? Please let him be a mole.”
Tom Cotton is a free trade traitor. He voted to give President Barack Obama fast-track authority to negotiate foreign trade deals. He is a Defense Dept. crony.
Cotton’s top contributor (briber) is The Club for Growth, that has spent millions in advertising against Trump. CFG is actually an open borders/free trade lobbyist group that advocates illegal alien amnesty and that US companies move overseas.
Cotton is also funded by big banks. His next top three contributors are Elliott Management, Stephens Group, and Goldman Sachs (Cruz’s wife’s employer).
