HuffPo’s Grim: 54 Private Jets at Meeting to Stop Trump

It's not a secret

Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday that “something like 54 private jets” had arrived at an elite meeting of tech CEOs, GOP party insiders and big donors set on stopping Donald Trump before he wins the Republican nomination.

I wonder how much money it would take to persuade Trump to quit the race.

Trump is destroying their party from within by unraveling the coalition that made it powerful.

they are going to lose their cushy tax havens and lucrative "free" trade treaties because of deals they and their forebears cut with socially conservative racists in the '60s and '70s.

they may as well have put out a video of dozens of CEO's dressing Romney up in a ballgown and turning a pumpkin into a carriage for his trip to Washington DC. This only serves to reinforce their image that Trump is the anti-establishment, and they are going to throw more money away than they did with Newt and Romney in '12

Funny actually, they are not so good at investments when it comes to politics
