According to the Huffington Post, corporate titans, Wall Street billionaires, politicians and other members of the ruling class gathered on Sea Island, GA to "take their country back." Topics discussed at the American Enterprise Institute's World Forum included ways to derail Donald Trump.

Much as I loathe Trump, the sheer arrogance of our oligarchs in thinking that it is their place to derail a candidate is just appalling. It is the absolute right of we, the American people, not the oligarchy, to choose our leader, even if it is a narcissistic, uninformed, racist jerk. The very reason Trump is leading in the Republican primaries is because this same group of oligarchs has crushed the average person to the breaking point and both political parties are in open revolt.
We've obviously gotten their attention and they are worried. If we could only turn the disaffected Republicans away from blaming minorities and towards blaming those really responsible for their problems, the political revolution would be unstoppable.

"unpresidential". Perhaps racist oligarchs don't like losing control of THEIR party to a bunch of racist tea party types.
Chickens coming home to roost, boys.
