NEW YORK — Wall Street is getting ready to go nuclear on Donald Trump.

Terrified that the reality TV star could run away with the Republican nomination and bring his brand of anti-immigrant, protectionist populism to the White House, some top financiers are writing big checks to fund an effort to deny Trump a majority of delegates to the GOP convention.

The effort is centered on the recently formed Our Principles PAC, the latest big-money group airing anti-Trump ads, which is run by GOP strategist Katie Packer, deputy campaign manager for Mitt Romney in 2012.

The group, initially funded by $3 million from Marlene Ricketts, wife of billionaire T.D. Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, wants to saturate the expensive Florida airwaves ahead of the state’s March 15 primary with hopes of denying Trump a victory that could crush the hopes of home state Sen. Marco Rubio.

1. All the T party toadies who cheered SCOTUS 1% court wins are now going to rethink

... or at least the few who are capable of thought.

2. you have to wonder....

At what point will drumph tell his bots to vote out any incumbant in office?

That is his nucular option. If the party attacks him, he will kill the party.

Works for me.

5. That headline brings forth some some really weird images.

In Britain trump is a slang term for fart. I'm such a kid.

6. This is starting to get very messy!

Drumpf is going to go even more ballistic than he normally is.

And damnit! I am all out of popcorn!

7. Stop giving him air time, you dumb asses. nt

11. That's not going to happen. This is the

greatest show on earth, doncha know.

[bemildred]

12. That is why they are dumb asses. Yes?

I mean there is always the hope that they will wise up. You would think the way they have used the media to control who gets to speak politically in this country in the past, they would get it. But no, profit is sacred. For some reason if Trump is what the Rubes want to watch, they get to, free of charge.

13. I think it's too late

to ignore him now when so many people have voted for him. Yes, the media helped create the monster.
