3. They must know that Trump isn't in their best interest, mostly because...

... of this possibility with him in charge:

Wealthy people often become team players and lovey-dovey once THEIR butts are on the line. Look back at the taxes they paid without much complaint during WW2.

5. War profiteers get uber rich from wars. That's one reason we have so many wars.

7. I'm aware of the military-industrial complex and what's done to foster it, but...

... at some point, intelligent people have to know that nuclear war isn't good for business.

Terrorism from low-tech countries that most people realize won't affect them personally? Cha-ching!!

8. Agreed.

4. No surprise at all. Establishment supporting establishment to defeat the outsider that threatens

their place at the trough. As an anti-establishment person, I will still take their money to defeat Rump and his draconian policies.

6. Anything that removes money from the pockets of GOPers is fine with me.
