If we were totally dependent on the MSM for our news, we wouldn't know this. The internet has been our watchdog and they're looking to change that.

This is any different than wealthy donors throwing large amounts of $$$ at candidates to get them elected how?

It's all about buying/selling influence, whether it's for/against someone doesn't change the game.

Well, Trump is sure getting Democrats and Republicans to work together isn't he?! When you can get huge liberals like Tim Cook and Larry Page working with top Republicans, you know its working! Except its working against him lol. When you have 3 of the top businessmen in the world this concerned about the dangers of a President Trump, you should probably take notice.

Well the conspiracy theorists are looking more and more sane.

We can see a plot right before our own eyes.

This is going to make Trump a more sympathetic figure, as he is surrounded and attacked by hordes of big powerful bullies gunning for him. Trump calling Rubio Little Marco is nothing compared to what is being schemed against Donald. If he can tone it down he will look strong and capable as those going for him appear desperate and vicious.

And Cruz who only has EVER worked in government and being owned by GS along with his wife isn't part of the elite? Keep dreaming, he's got you fooled.

Agreed. I dislike Trump, but I hate corruption. This is disturbing.

And just how is this any more corrupt than the wheeling-dealing influence peddling that goes on in Washington on a daily basis? A game Trump himself has boasted of playing.

Given that Donny's boasted publicly about using his $$$ to buy politicians there'd be more than a little irony in others using their $$$ to torpedo Donny's political aspirations, eh?
