"At a private summit Park City, Utah for conservative donors hosted by Mitt Romney, Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman reportedly compared Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini and, according to another donor that was present, asked why she shouldn’t support Clinton.

"She posed the question, 'Is it not reasonable to support Hillary Clinton?' given all the awful things Trump has said," donor John Chachas said, according to ABC."

GOP donor likely to support Clinton, compares Trump to Hitler: report | TheHill

Whitman has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates over the years.

And this was said at a GOP summit, where an informal polling of the attendees showed they were evenly divided over who they will support. It gives you a good glimpse at the chaos taking place inside the GOP.

It's been talked about for months now. There are those that won't support Trump because he isn't for sale like Hillary is.

It makes me wonder - why are these billionaires happy to support some candidates? Do they do it out of the kindness of their heart?

"Girls don't like me because I am a nice guy."

"Guys don't approach me because I am super hot."

lol

A bit of sucking up and ego boosting and he will melt right in your small hands.

Whitman is a RINO so her comments against Trump aren't surprising, especially when you consider that she is pro abortion rights and pro amnesty.
Add to that, she's a choker like Romney in political races.

You miss the point. She is also a big money donor to Republican candidates, and she is indicating she will not support Trump. And she is not the only big money Republican donor to potentially close her checkbook when it comes to this year's Republican presidential race.

That's the key takeaway here. And that's not trivial.

Mr. Trump has a knack for turning off female deep-pocketed former HP CEO . . . .

The Obamas and the Clintons will mobilize the African Americans.
The Hispanics have been registering in waves. Hispanics have more on the line than any other minority group. I don't see why they would stay home.
The White Women (which Romney won) will flee to Hillary.
The Progressive White males will follow the lead of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren.
The LGBT community and other minority groups insulted by Donald Trump (Muslims, Jews, Asian Americans, Native Indians) are running away from Donald Trump.
Evangelicals don't see a reason to vote for a 3 times divorced, never-read-the bible liar.
The Neo Cons won't vote for Trump.
Even CEOs and Senior managements in big business don't support Trump.
The Koch Brothers have refused to support Trump financially.
And even elected Republican lawmakers have refused to endorse him or get even closed to him.
Libertarians have their own candidate, who will certainly take away some 5-10% of the electoral.
The only reliable group that supports Trump unconditionally are the racists and the Bigots.

How can Trump win?

Nah, that would be a chocker. Whatever that is. Although I'm not surprised Romney is one. Never did like that dude.
