By contrast, take a gander at this "open letter from technology sector" that progressive corporate media is trying to suggest means a hoot. Get a load of these brands and names:

An open letter from technology sector leaders on Donald Trump

Slack, Atom Factory, Joyus, StubHub,.... Big stuff.

Touting the one lone Trump supporter in the tech field, among a vast crowd of non-supporters, as some kind of victory is like claiming that Diamond and Silk are proof that all blacks are Trump supporters as well.

It's laughable, but I guess they have to go with what they've got.

I think most realize that the tech guys are going to support whoever they believe will let in the most cheap labor.

So does that mean they'll support Trump who has used cheap labor on his construction projects?

But go ahead and trumpet (yes pun intended) your ignorance of Silicon Valley.

The construction guys might. That isn't who we are discussing though is it?

There is no ignorance in my statement.

I'm not voting for Trump........
