Ohio's top GOP supporter quits party

Red Crow said:
It depends on who they are donating for.

Notice the article did not mention who this guy supported for POTUS.

I am sure it was Kasich, Bush, or Rubio.

It's people like this who have destroyed the GOP and paved the way for Donald J. Trump.

Live from Bizzarro World, where up is down, wrong is right and the sky is not blue, it's Red Crow!

I am going to assume with that comment that you don't understand the establishment side of the GOP.

This doesn't have anything to do with Trump specifically.

There are other members of the GOP who are not establishment.

Trump was elected by Republicans because he was not establishment and the Republican voters rejected the establishment types like Kasich, Bush, and Rubio.

No you ignorant fuckstick.
Trump was elected by independents.

I think some of the magic may be gone for a lot of Trump worshippers.

Have you noticed how Dump's last remaining and most passionate supporters on this forum are the known and confirmed racists and bigots (plus Annatta)?

Even the semi-normal Trump supporters sense there is something seriously wrong with this guy. No normal person is up at 2 am in the morning rage tweeting, becoming increasingly paranoid and incoherent, and seemingly having zero interest in learning or improving at presidential statecraft and governance.

There is no way the semi-normal Trump supporters have failed to notice this - and it seemingly has the hallmarks of a nervous breakdown.

Future historians will be agog with amazement that 30 million Americans thought it was a good idea to pull the lever in the voting booth for a mentally unstable Reality TV entertainer.

anatta has even you fooled.
He is just as racist as any other rabid Trumptard

Maybe I have a misunderstanding of the swamp but how is a big donor to the Republican Party the swamp? Should we not want people donating to the party?

There's something off about this story. I've lived in Ohio for 30 years, and I've never heard of this guy. Furthermore, what kind of a Republican heaps praise on Obama? I call B.S.:bs:

Trump was elected by former Teatards with the help of their Russian disinformation friends. He was elected because *all* of us are sick of the status quo and the tar pit (to borrow Evince's poetic language) that is DC, where nothing good for the regular people gets done. Trump was elected by the Electoral College by sheer luck; Hillary had more votes. But even then, Hillary's votes (to me anyways) were more on the lines of "she's not the greatest but WTF she's not THAT orange tard." Now Corey Booker's name is being bandied about as a possible 2020 campaigner.... and the same ppl who supported Green and Sanders are rejecting him as a corporatist.

We ALL want a change in our government. Trump was a horror of a choice that is damaging us all. There must be some way we can find and vote for decent candidates. I definitely appreciate the sentiment to stop doing business as usual, and try something new. However, "something new" should also come with ethics, integrity, love of country over love of party and of self. And please gods, maybe we at least get someone with dignity, intelligence, and the ability to speak w/o sounding like a 14-yo afflicted with dementia?

No normal thinking folk expects you low/no information types to understand what's going on here.

Go back to your safe space and order another cup of hot cocoa.

He actually came to Missouri in 2004, to Hannibal, on his campaign. We lived only an hour's drive south of there. I loaded up the teen kids and we went to his rally. Was glad to give them the exposure to politics-in-real-life, for the road trip, and the energy of the crowd. They were ages 13 - 19. The biggest excitement for them was reserved for the intro speaker, Sean Astin of LOTR fame. O the shrieking squealing joy! lol Speech was okay, and I did vote for Kerry as did the one daughter old enough to vote.

I saw this thing though that has bugged me ever since. Not so much about Kerry, but how events like this are staged and choreographed. They had blocked off the main avenue in Hannibal and funneled us into the area where the stage was at the end. We ended up standing next to an older couple; the man was wearing a ball cap that said "Vietnam vet" on it. Campaign staff were walking up and down the crowd and randomly tossing American flags on sticks, and sometimes a t-shirt or cap, into the crowd. Other staff were searching the crowd. They zoomed in on the folks next to us, and a guy waded into the group and asked the ball-cap gent if he would like to meet Kerry. He said yes, of course, so he and his wife were lead away and got to sit in the small bleacher seats behind the podium. I started watching then and they did the same with other ppl like that couple. I don't know if he ever got to meet Kerry; hope so.

But yeah, even in a podunk tiny town like Hannibal, Missouri -- optics are the thing.

So what if he is? So unless he supports Trump his money is not good for any other Republicans around the country? Good lord dude. I hope you don't have power within the party because we would be out of power like the Democrats.

what Crow is trying to get at in its own clumsy way is that there is a type of Republican that needs to be cut out from the party even if that means they go over to the Democrats. Republicans who value free trade above all and prioritize the needs of international organizations over the needs of the US. I get that politics is about adding to your base however there comes a time where a portion of your base has wants that are incompatible with the wants of the others so a reorganization is needed.

Thanks tsuke
 
The billionaire CEO reportedly said in a speech last year that he was "ashamed" by Trump's response to the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., that erupted in violence and led to the death of a 32-year-old woman.

The Ohio businessman has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and groups over the years, including giving $250,000 to a super PAC backing Sen. Rob Portman's (R) reelection campaign in 2016 and nearly $70,000 to GOP committees and candidates in Ohio and other states, the Dispatch noted.

Wexner isn't the only person to renounce their GOP affiliation this year. In August, Michael London, a former member of the Trumbull Town Council in Connecticut, announced he was leaving the party because it was "no longer the party that I believed in all these years."

Great thinking.

With the Republican Party already shrinking and retreating, getting rid of a major donor and demanding absolute 'purity' is a master stroke of genius. :0)
