Doing some reading this morning and along with the issues of a open convention and the obvious efforts to "Dump Trump" it now appears that major operations are refusing to sponsor the convention because of Trump. http://thehill.com/opinion/juan-williams/284939-juan-williams-gop-sounds-the-sirens-over-trumpIn addition, major companies such as Apple, JPMorgan and Ford are declining to help sponsor the Republican convention, in order to put distance between themselves and Trump. And there is also the prospect of a rebellion of GOP convention delegates to prevent Trump from officially becoming the party’s presidential nominee. A partial list includes: MetLife Inc. Walgreens Hewlett Packard Inc. JPMorgan Chase & Co. UPS Motorola Wells Fargo & Co. Ford Motor Co. Coca-Cola Microsoft Apple “If a party could declare moral bankruptcy, today’s Republican Party would be in Chapter 11,” Tom Friedman wrote. “I know so many thoughtful conservatives who know it matters. One of them has got to start… a center-right party liberated from all the Trump birthers, the Sarah Palins, the Grover Norquists, the Sean Hannitys, the Rush Limbaughs, the gun lobby, the oil lobby and every other narrow-interest group, a party that redefines a principled conservatism.”
As Friedman suggests, the real problem here is that the GOP has sold off so many pieces of itself to niche constituencies, it is no longer a coherent party.

I've met the CEO/owner of Walgreens, he has a ranch in Duval county. His kids get up in the morning and hop their private jet to get flown to school.
I doubt that is correct.

It might be informative[for you] to look at how much these Co's have donated to your ol' HAG.

Norman:
Does this not bother you or are ok that a large segment of the country including many conservatives are pulling back from Trump?
I have mentioned numerous times that I feel Trump is a "Plant" working with the Clintons to gut the GOP and the closer we get to the general election the more true this looks.

But you don't really believe it. It's just one of those lies you tell.

that's a good starter list of who Trump should list when he's telling Americans who they should and should not support with their income.

Lotta banks and insurance companies on that list (I believe UPS is near the top in $ spent in DC)
Looks like they see their lobbying influence jeopardized with a trump win in the general.
Don't over think it Walt...

You need to concern yourself with the trouble lieberals will be in when decent people get thoroughly fed up with their traitorous and immoral crap. That day will come, and likely soon.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

I believe I used the term "Manchurian Candidate" as early as last August. I am not a Tin Foil hat type but yes I think this was a plan hatched by the Clintons and Trump. ///

Hopefully all are now aware that Republican's, Democrats and big business are all joined at the hip......and they ain't letting any lippy outsider get a key to the club house......
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Don't over think it Walt... Walt would be incapable of overthinking anything... even earthworm logic would blow his fuse...
