The republicans and I mean the rich republican leaders, just met this weekend to discuss Donald Trump. And word is they want nothing to do with Trump nor will they put money into his campaign.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Billionaire industrialist and conservative benefactor Charles Koch's expansive political network will not help Donald Trump win the presidency.
That's the message from one of the Koch network's chief lieutenants as hundreds of the nation's most powerful Republican donors gathered for a weekend retreat on Saturday. With Election Day just three months away, Koch lamented the state of the 2016 contest during a welcome reception inside a luxury hotel at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
"We don't really, in some cases, don't really have good options," Koch said of the "current political situation."
The ambitious Koch network has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to influence politics and public policy over the last decade. It won't spend anything to help the Republican presidential nominee directly in 2016, even though it may evoke Hillary Clinton in attacks of Democratic congressional candidates, said Mark Holden, general counsel and senior vice president of Koch Industries.
One thing I have noticed about republicans and especially wealthy corporate republicans, their number one concern in the world is for their business and personal security.
They don't want terrorist attacking their corporations, threatening their businesses, attacking their luxury gated communities.
They don't want to see unrest in Russia or China or unrest here at home that could in any way threaten or affect their financial bottom line.
That is basically why they are republicans.
They believe that war is just fine, if it strengthens their security here at home.
They believe over taxing the people is just fine, if it goes to strengthen our military.
They believe in investing whatever it takes for national security if it ensures their wealth and homes are made more secure.
They, the super rich of corporate America, demand one thing above all else out of government no matter what it takes or how much it costs in taxpayer money, that being their physical and economic security.
Then... along came Donald Trump.
Threatening China, cozying up with Putin, pissing off Mexico, poo poo-ing our alliance with fellow world democracies, and threatening the atmosphere of harmony abroad as well as here at home.
Donald Trump, having no regard for the basic concepts of world and national security that every other president of past have held dearly.
Obama, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, Carter, Nixon, Kennedy, right, left, republican, democrat and going all the way back to George Washington.
Presidents all believing as one when it came to a secured America and ensuring a stabilized world.
Then... along came Donald Trump.
And the very thought of an Donald Trump presidency has made rich corporate America very very nervous.
Because the one thing they depend on and have assumed they could always rely on was national security for their corporations, for their businesses, and for the gated luxury communities they live in.
For them, Donald Trump could destabilize all of that, and has actually threatened to.
They just don't know what to think of Donald Trump.
Knowing how the rich and powerful think, how they believe with their "never take a chance" attitude, they probably look at Donald Trump as a complete mental case.
A total psychopath.
Delusional, unpredictable, weak, insecure, thinned shinned, and a major nut job.
Forget about right vs left or liberal vs conservative.
Forget about fundamentalist religion vs pro-abortion.
Forget about gay vs straight, white vs black, or Hispanic, Muslim, or Christian America.
Forget about all of that.
Wealthy corporate republicans are only concerned with security and stabilization.
For wealthy corporate America, Donald Trump is simply not one of them.
Trump may be rich, but however rich Donald Trump may or may not be, Donald Trump is not one of them.
Should Hillary win, that would be just fine for them.
They will never say that in public, but that is what they think.
Because they know Hillary Clinton shares that gut belief in stabilization and security.
And should super wealthy republicans, that corporate American leadership ever admit this in public that Hillary would be their only choice, or that they would gladly welcome a president Hillary Clinton, you will know Donald Trump is toast.
