Cut Ties to Donald Trump, Big Donors Urge R.N.C.

It sounds as if support for Trump is in freefall not necessarily with voters but where it matters — with big money backers. “He is a dangerous demagogue completely unsuited to the responsibilities of a United States president,” said one $3M contributor. “Even for loyalists, there is a line beyond which the obvious moral failings of a candidate are impossible to disregard,” he wrote. “That line has been clearly breached.”

 

And poor RNC chairman Reince Priebus is having sleepless nights as he watches years of careful GOP organizing unravel. But, incredibly enough, the article cites many others who still cling to a concept of loyalty to this sexual abuser and feel that bailing on him would be cowardice.

‘Saturn on Steroids’

‘About 400 light years from our solar system, there is a celestial body that looks like Saturn on steroids. Its rings are about 200 times larger than its counterpart here, measuring about 75 million miles in diameter. The ring system is so large, in fact, that scientists aren’t sure why it doesn’t get ripped apart by the gravity of the star it orbits.

One reason the rings might stay intact has to do with the direction in which they spin around the object at their center, called J1407b. Scientists are not sure whether J1407b is a gigantic planet that measures many times larger than Saturn, or a failed star called a brown dwarf.’
