It’s obvious the Russian thing will collapse.
It’s obvious the wacko faction on the left is alienating the middle and making the far left unacceptable.
It’s obvious Trump wants to cut regulations, which all smart businessmen want.
It’s obvious cutting regulations will grow the economy.
So who doesn’t want to get on the band wagon before it is too late? These guys aren’t where they are because they are stupid.
Hey! These "guys" were part of the meeting also:

“Its obvious Trump wants to cut regulations, which all smart businessmen want.”
My favorite economics professor, Dr. Walter Williams, dispelled me of that myth over 37 years ago.
He asked the following question:
“Who here thinks that Big Pharm hates the FDA and all the costly regulatory hurdles and hoops the government forces them to jump through to get new drugs approved?”
One of us said “sounds about right” and the rest nodded in agreement.
Dr. Williams said “Then you’ll be surprised to learn that Big Pharm LOVES the FDA and its regulatory hurdles and spends hundreds of millions each year lobbying (bribing) congress to INCREASE them.
“Why? They understand that as regulations are increased, there comes a point where smaller competing pharmacuetical corporations can’t afford to comply, but due to economies of scale, Big Pharm can easily afford to staff entire departments which do nothing but compliance work.”
This is how large corporations use the federal government to kill off their competition and enforce monopolies within their industries.
