Key GOP fundraiser: Donors will fall in line behind Trump

[RandySF]

A top Republican fundraiser says he believes the majority of the party's donor class will ultimately “fall in line” behind Donald Trump as the party’s presidential nominee despite last-ditch attempts by some wealthy conservatives to derail the billionaire front-runner.

“The majority of donors want to see a Republican victory,” Fred Malek, the finance chair of the Republican Governors Association, said in a telephone interview with The Hill on Friday.

“They might prefer somebody other than Trump but if he gets the nomination they will fall in line.”
Malek has been a key player in the multimillion-dollar fundraising machine that has helped install Republican governors in statehouses across the country.

Among the donors he talks to, Malek said many are saying they will support Trump if he wins the nomination, despite their misgivings, because the stakes of this election are so high.

1. Like the German elites did with Hitler... Thought they could control him... Ahhh, they were wrong...

2. Trump is not like Hitler.

Hitler had an agenda; Trump cares about nothing except himself. It seems to me that his bigoted comments don't necessarily represent his own thinking, they are just cynical pandering to his audience. He appeals to the disaffected Republican base who do not realize that he is using them. He has no real policies and no ability to think anything through. He was a disaster as a businessman and is all bluster. I think he is the beginning of the end of the Republican party.
