Sheldon Adelson: Trump in the White House ‘is the only way things will get better’ Read more here:
Source: Miami Herald
The multibillionaire casino businessman and Republican donor Sheldon Adelson endorsed Donald Trump early Friday morning, urging fellow Republican donors and party members to unite behind the presumptive nominee.
While the primary cycle still has some important elections ahead, it is clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president, he wrote in a Washington Post commentary. I am endorsing Trumps bid for president and strongly encourage my fellow Republicans especially our Republican elected officials, party loyalists and operatives, and those who provide important financial backing to do the same.
Adelson, one of the Republican Partys largest donors, has given generously to presidential candidates in the past. He donated at least $155 million in the 2012 presidential cycle along with his wife Miriam, at least $30 million of which went to a Mitt Romney super PAC. He was wooed by several GOP candidates during this elections primaries but ultimately withheld an endorsement. The Las Vegas Review-Journal, which his family secretly purchased late last year, did endorse Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida before he dropped out of the race in March.
Adelson wrote that though he doesnt agree with Trump on every issue, the real estate businessman is a CEO success story that exemplifies the American spirit of determination, commitment to cause and business stewardship.

Well, so much for a fractured party. Adelson only could bankroll a Presidential campaign, but now you have billionaires backing billionaires.

(55,745 posts)...but that takes the plutonium.
Adelson would never say that when the Shah was around. Guy CIA and MI6 installed was a FRIEND of kleptocracy.
Why do neocons think the best way to protect Israel is to kill innocent people?

(39,375 posts)Hatred, their own emptiness in spite of their material achievements which makes them miserable and nihilistic...I won't say fear because that lends an air of legitimacy to their views. We do know from experience how dangerous they are. Imagine an impulsive, like-minded buffoon such as Trump in charge and owing them.
Anyway, I told a friend of mine a while back I'm setting the bar low for the next President: don't blow up the world. I worry about it.
