Furious GOP donors stew over Trump (Romney's losers)
POLITCO ^ | June 11, 2016 | Alex Isenstadt

On Friday afternoon, at an exclusive Republican donor retreat here hosted by Mitt Romney, frustration boiled over. During an off-the-record question-and-answer session with House Speaker Paul Ryan, Meg Whitman, the billionaire Hewlett Packard chief executive officer, confronted the speaker over his endorsement of Trump. Whitman, a major GOP giver who ran for California governor in 2010, compared Trump to historical demagogues like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and wanted to know how the speaker could get behind him.

At another discussion session during the day, which featured top Romney alumni Stuart Stevens and Matt Rhoades, Ana Navarro, a Republican contributor and ubiquitous cable news personality, called Trump a “racist” and a “vulgarian and a pig who has made disgusting comments about women for years.” (Neither Whitman nor Navarro would comment.)

Even Ryan, who has endorsed Trump despite criticizing his behavior, joked during his presentation on Friday that in a recent conversation with magician David Copperfield, he said that he wished he could make himself disappear.

That’s okay, because I compare Meg Whitman to a whore who does sex parties.

This bunch of snobbish, rich elitists don’t care if the democrats win it all...They have their cake...They are just scared to death that they won’t be able to “buy” Trump as they have the “professional politicians”...

They remind me of the liberal elitist woman at a New York cocktail party late in 2000...She said, “How did Bush ever win??? No one I know voted for him....”

History is not a lie. Sometimes it takes a Hitler or a Mussolini or a Stalin to shape public policy. Out of evil, good is reborn.

Obama-Hillary led to Trump.

I know who are evil in the above trio and the names do not rhyme with slump.

Here’s hoping in late 2016, the same type of elitists have the same thing to say about President-Elect Donald J. Trump.

OK, I disagree with them, but you (Trump) can’t just respond with mocking. How do you get them into the fold, and turning out for #NeverHillary in November?

All I see here is mocking — nothing about how to turn these guys into Trump voters (however reluctantly) in November.

So you’re a fan of Jerry Brown.

Noted.

The GOP status quo sure is “butt hurt”. Poor babies. They’ll get over it. It’s time for the non-rich Americans get the president that they deserve. The rich, good old boys club has got to go.

“And while they may be reluctant to admit it, some are starting to think about the next presidential election — in 2020. Among those making the trek to Utah this week were Ryan, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — all of whom were seen here as potential future White House contenders.”

The beauty of Politico is knowing that these stupid Nazi bastards are too stupid to know that they’re Nazis.

There is nothing you can say to people who fully understand what kind of person Mrs. Clinton is, and what she would do to the country, and who decidedly prefer her to Trump.

Ditto. This would give me a listing of who NOT to vote for in the coming election.

Let’s not give the weak kneed GOP’s a pass.

They are responsible too.

They have given Obama every thing he wants and then some.
Instead of fighting Obama they have rolled over.
