Democrat Hillary Clinton has 11 contributors and 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney had far more
No chief executive at the nation’s 100 largest companies had donated to Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign through August, a sharp reversal from 2012, when nearly a third of the CEOs of Fortune 100 companies supported GOP nominee Mitt Romney. During this year’s presidential primaries, 19 of the nation’s top CEOs gave to other Republican candidates, including former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of campaign donations.
Since then, most have stayed on the sidelines, with 89 of the 100 top CEOs not supporting either presidential nominee, and 11 backing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. A total of 66 CEOs sat out the 2012 campaign, according to the Journal’s calculation.

The Trump endorsements just keep rolling in!
It’s the people who don’t endorse Trump who really make it clear that he’s what American needs now.
None of the largest special interests are supporting Trump?
Sounds perfect.
So what the sam hill has got them all convinced to vote for the old lady of wink, nod?
Firing American workers, moving to China and Mexico and taking hundreds of millions of stock options are what on their minds. Of course, they won’t support Trump.
Looking at the details, 89% are declaring themselves neutral.
This looks more like a fear move than anything else. Most of them may quietly go vote Trump for all I know, but do not want to publicly antagonize Democrats for fear of the backlash.
Cronies want Hillary.
Think about that, Sanders supporters.
At some point even they are going to crash into reality. They are going to find that a fortune in hell’s dollars is an illusory thing.
And that’s bad how???
Donald J. Trump is anathema to Big Biz: they know he’ll put an end to the Cheap Labor Express, thereby raising wages
of U.S. citizens across the board. Big Biz don’t like higher wages.
Does anyone in their lifetime ever remember the Democrat, rather than the Republican, being in the tank for Big Biz?
It’s no wonder that the GOPe hates Trump, and it’s no wonder that the GOPe traitors are now supporting crooked hillary.
Cronies and socialism are a folie-a-deux. Even a Sanders plan would have to tolerate cronies rather than have no business at all.
Well I guess that means the dems are lying about all the corps being in the republicans pockets! dems be LYING AGAIN!
Yeah... Trump will put an end to the big chow-down on the American seed corn.
Thank You Donald Trump for finally exposing who is on the side of the citizens and the rule of law and who is on the side of the illegal aliens and their employers.
In every election since the last amnesty we have had an amnesty vs amnesty election.
There has been no choice for the rule of law.
This was intentional.
The citizens have been intentionally blocked from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
The GOP has been punking us into voting for people like McCain, Romney, Rubio, and more names than I can type, who have no intention of ever securing the border or enforcing the laws. Because they aren’t wearing D jerseys.
Are they really better than a Democrat when we lose our country permanently?
Nevada is about to elect Joe Heck, another Cheap Labor Express stooge. Because he’s better than a Democrat.
Paul Ryan and John McCain should have been Cantorized for their betrayal of the citizens.
If we keep electing Cheap Labor Express stooges we will lose our country.
The same people who have been exporting the jobs that can be exported are importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.
But we know the way America (and the GOP) was headed, was folly.
I’m not just woofin’ that it is about a fatal feast on our seed corn. Once everything that is available in the USA is foreign sourced, just who the sam hill is going to buy it? We cannot Wal-Martize to China forever.
Capitalism should BE capitalism, in which the purpose of capital is to invest it, and live on the returns.
I’ve suspect this could quietly be part of that — a fear move.
Democrats, and GOPe, have turned into a seed-corn eating racket.
And Trump’s fortune is an excellent example of capitalism that would have a hard time eating its own seed corn. It’s real estate, right here in the USA. When Trump does invest overseas, it’s by building facilities there for use by foreigners. Donald was insulated from those temptations that the mercantile fell into.
For obvious reasons:
Domestic corporations making huge profits by hiring cheap foreign labor subsidized by public-assistance paid for by American taxpayers.
International corporations making huge profits by operating abroad in partnership with foreign governments in their mercantile trade war against America.
And there could be no more convincing reason why patriotic Americans should vote for Trump!
