I talked to a friend yesterday...he told me of one dinner party at which two of the most prominent NeverTrumpers confessed why they want Hillary to win. They know they’ll have no access to the Trump White House if he wins. Nor would they have any access to a Hillary White House. The difference, however, is that their donor base would desert them in the event of a Trump victory, whereas they can raise money from donors in the event of a Hillary win.
We had figured this out. We’re just surprised to hear them admit it.

It’s always about the MONEY for these scumbags! America First Scumbags (gone at) Last!
Go Trump Go!
They are content with second-tier power and the trappings the first-tier allows them to have IF they control their own rabble and be the loyal-but-not-too-vocal opposition and vote their way.
It is the GOPe way.
If conscientious objector to Trump, why do they believe other conscientious objectors to Trump would leave them high and dry.
Donor class = corporate globalists.
Absolutely. Someone admits to what we all knew.
Obvious from the beginning.
That’s morbidly funny. This 1978 incident at Jonestown is where the term ‘drinking the Koolaid’ came from.
I fully remember reading about it.
Nowadays, the Dems talk big, but act small.
Alec Baldwin Rosie O’Donald and Whoppie Goldberg will not be moving to Canada when Trump wins. Canada doesn’t want them anyway.
I disagree with this position. Globalist Cheap Labor Express hacks will always be welcome at a Xlinton WH regardless of faux party affiliation.
National Review has really degenerated since WFB died. They still have Victor Davis Hanson and one or two others but they are really stacked with nonentities - David French, Williamson, Jonah Goldberg. I’m sure they are losing readership but I would imagine they are betting on Hillary-supporting sugar daddies, such as the Koch brothers, to bail them out with money so they don’t have to be concerned that no one reads them. They are finished with the conservative base if Trump wins; they are finished if Trump loses.
Not a very well kept secret.
They clearly believe a Hillary Presidency is something they can fundraise off people like us over (whom they consider rubes).
This is the same reason Republicans refuse do anything that conservatives care about, ie abortion, immigration, trade, terror, etc. Solving those problems would end the donations.
You mean bundlers and consultants would have to go get real jobs?
Oh the horror!
This has been obvious all along, but it’s interesting to know someone “admitted” it... even if in the anonymity of rumor.
Trump should call the bastards out at some point, say why they do what they do.
To quote Judge Judy: “Follow the money.”
