Donald Trump Is Finally Uniting Top Republican Donors — Against Him
NY Times ^ | March 20, 2016 | Nicholas Confessore and Rachel Shorey

The prospect of a Donald J. Trump nomination is accomplishing what a diverse and talented field of Republican presidential contenders could not: uniting the party’s big-money donor establishment.

Some of the wealthiest conservative givers in the country are helping pay for a series of last-ditch attacks to wound Mr. Trump, disclosures filed on Sunday night revealed, even after previously backing rival Republican candidates. And officials involved with the political groups have made clear that they are aggressively raising more money to fight Mr. Trump, hoping to deprive him of enough delegates to win the Republican nomination outright. That would set the stage for a contested convention in July.

“Limbaugh said today that these conservatives prefer a Hillary presidency so they can keep their power.”

It’s all about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running.

The citizens must be prevented from electing a President who enforces the laws and borders.

The people pipeline is paramount.

Both parties are INTENTIONALLY flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.

I am a Cruz supporter, but this is insane. The Party elites, the MSM, and the oligarchs have all joined hands to thwart the voters and to ensure no one — no one — gets near their power and controls.

Rush is pissed that the Establishment won't even consider his guy, Ted Cruz was ass

You can steal from Trump but if Ted Cruz isn't the beneficiary then I am pissed. - Rush Limbaugh

Trump and Cruz cannot kill the establishment separately: they can only do it together with their bases backing them up. If they don’t team up, we lose - hang - seperately.

Makes one consider that the GOP in office are admitting that they can’t do the job that they were elected to do... and can’t get a real job if they lose office.

And Rush is furious with Kasich for preventing a Trump v Cruz head to head matchup. But I got news for him...he wouldn't like the results.

the reason why rush is pissed is that Cruz is the only one even close to trump in support. just about anyone that the establishment try’s to put in will destroy the party for the next 20 years or forever. I have been a republican for the last 31 years since I turned 18 and if anyone other then Cruz or trump is the nomination I am done with it. I will be independent till those as pissed off as I am can form a new political party Perhaps a TEA PARTY. those that have called themselves tea party within the republican party might want to rethink working with in the republican party 4 years from now and wait for the next election cycle. all that forming a new party at this point will do is put Hillary in.

Wouldn’t that classify them as self-serving, amoral TRAITORS? They’ve sold their souls to Satan and turned their backs on their country and her future?

Then why in the heck are you a Cruz supporter. Cruz has done nothing to stop illegals and is part of the establishment that has allowed it.

Trump for President.

This should give Trump another bump in the polls. The donor class is hated by America.

Donating money to the GOP establishment is God’s way of saying you have too much money.

God haven’t these people wasted enough money already? This is the last boondoggle for the political consultants. Sooner or later even these people will realize that they are nothing but lying con men.
