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."

If they succeed in "stopping" Trump they will be years rebuilding what remains of their party. The Republican elitists are behaving like a mob. They have one goal.

They better consider this: The people are watching. They know what is being done. They are not in a forgiving mood.

They wasted 38 million in the 3/9 4 state primary in attack ads against Trump. Right down the toilet. And one candidate says he is the only one who can beat Trump. 2nd and 3rd in MI and MS tonight. And saying people raising their hands in support of Trump is evil...

It all shows...
The desperation is thick and deep.

The Cheap Labor Express is determined that we will not be allowed to elect a President that enforces the laws and borders.

The people pipeline is paramount.

I find it interesting that all these Tech guys are flaming liberals.

So what is the deal here?

Why is the Republican leadership meeting with flaming liberals?
