to Trump
All the Republicans who hide behind the flag and hide the church, they dont have the f*cking balls to do what it takes, Florida billionaire Mike Fernandez told Politico via telephone.
In 2016, Fernandez spent a hefty $3.5 million on ads attacking President Donald Trump, $3 million of which went to Jeb Bushs campaign. But now hes taking issue with the rest of the Republicans in the party.
I am out of the political process, he told Politico, explaining that he was leaving the party. Too disgusted, too expensive, too supportive of ego maniacs whose words have the value of quicksand, he responded to one GOP fundraiser, who sent out an email solicitation.
It is demoralizing to me to see adults worshipping a false idol. I cant continue to write checks for anyone, he continued, blasting his own partys members. I know what its like to lose a country.

(11,730 posts)Hard to feel sorry for a billionaire Republican who is whining about trying to buy politicians who aren't putting out for him. I am glad that he is picking up his ball and going home. Politics should be about ideas and good sound public policy, not who can buy more airtime to spew their bullshit.
Funny, he talks about the "false idol" assuming that he is talking about Trump. The false idol is money dude. Why do you need a billion or more dollars while people starve in the richest country on earth? Why do you feel the need to buy politicians to make sure nobody gets to share in the opportunities that society has given you? You don't give a shit about the country. The country is the people. Without the people the country is just a mound of dirt. You give not one shit about the fact that the vast majority of the wealth made by the people of this country has gone to greedy bastards like you over the last 30 plus years because you bought elections. Trump is the culmination of your effects on politics. Trump is just trying to cut out the middle men and go straight up criminal instead of dressing the theft in the "rule of law" and politics.
