I was reading the newsfeed on Facebook and was interested by an exchange between two friends. One posted a link to an article describing the wealthy Republicans that want to oust Trump. Then someone else posted, denounced the article, claiming that because she is personally involved with GOP fund raising, she can attest that the article is inaccurate and is only meant to inflame. When pressed for facts to support her claim she replied, what CEO would want to oust a Republican president?
What I did find even more interesting, is how she cleverly side-stepped the issue and redirected the conversation. She said she was more interested in connecting with everyone at the next Reunion, and then she brought up all the "good memories" from college. And the other friend, buckled. The discussion just stopped.
And that's what I have against Reunions. If there are political differences, people don't talk intelligently or discuss issues. It's like they assume they have differences that will harm their relationship, so they go back to a safe zone, rehashing the same stories. The relationships and the conversations, in my opinion, are stagnant. Sometimes, worse, because micro-aggressions tend to surface that come out of no where. What a sweet deal. Stop all the meaningful conversation and take your jabs and zingers when your opponent is not expecting it. No thank you.
Can anyone pitch in on the article below to validate the existence of wealthy Republicans wanting to oust Trump?

Im glad to see some are speaking out. Wish they had done it in 2016 GOPer primaries; but right now, we need to get rid of trump more than anything.
