Met Obama who was also speaking at the same summit and this is what he had to say:

I was struck by the genuineness of the man; his candor, humility and empathy for others," Wexner said of Obama.

I’m an independent," he said. "I won’t support this nonsense in the Republican Party. I’ve been a Republican since college, joined the Young Republican Club at Ohio State.

Drip … drip … drip

I think this is going to end up being Trump’s legacy. Yes, he won the nomination. Yes, he won the 2016 election. In the process however, he has made the GOP less attractive for many of us.

I can personally relate to this guy. I voted straight Republican from the age of 19 until 2016. I’ll say pointblank at this point that when I vote in November, my vote will be for the candidate I believe will ensure that the executive branch does not abuse it’s power.

I’m happy to welcome GOP voters to the fold, but mega donors can go ■■■■ themselves.

If my interests don’t align with those of a billionaire donor, then with whom’s interest do they align?

Yeah, we should listen to pissed off rich people because they know what’s good for the rest of us. Instead of taking it as a sign that maybe some of the right stuff is being done if its pissing the rich people off.

Yup. Decent people are splitting from reprobates. It’s taken awhile, but eventually even the most ardent sycophants will have to admit their folly.
