Wealthy Republicans lose faith in Trump, as nearly 40% say they wouldn’t vote to re-elect him: CNBC survey

PUBLISHED 6 HOURS AGO | UPDATED 5 HOURS AGO David Spiegel

The 2020 race for the White House is just barely under way, but the latest CNBC Millionaire Survey shows some troubling signs for the incumbent President Donald Trump, including an energized base of wealthy Democrats and unsteady support from wealthy Republicans.

Just 34 percent of America’s millionaires say they would vote to re-elect President Trump if the election were held today. Among Republicans, Trump has lost more than one-third of wealthy voters, with only 62 percent of Republican millionaires saying they would vote for the president if the election were held today. Thirty-six percent of the overall vote was scattered among 10 different possible Democratic nominees, while 22 percent went to other Republicans.

Twenty percent of respondents, including 18 percent of Republican millionaires, think President Donald Trump won’t even be the Republican nominee for president in 2020.

1. So 68% of millionaires are good with a traitor in charge.

Treasonous bastards.

It's bad enough to put their own financial self-interests ahead of the health and well being of everyone else, but now it's apparently they don't give a damn about our country either.

2. They were 100% behind the traitor till he tanked the stock market

So yeah they can go to hades but if the rich that own the GOP turn on Shitler, I'd say his days are numbered.

3. Not happy with their tax cuts?

Or do they actually worry about the mess Dotard is causing?

5. It's all about their $$$ on Wall Street, I assume anyway

BY CALEB SILVER Updated Dec 23, 2018

There was no mercy for investors as we close out the week and head into the holiday season. It was a punishing five days for stocks. Here are some gruesome stats:

The Nasdaq lost 8% on the week and is now 22% below its August record, a bear market.
The S&P 500 index lost 6.7% for the week and on Friday hit a 17-month low. It’s now down 17% from its record.
The Dow lost 6.4% and more than 1,500 points on the week.
The Dow and S&P 500, which are both in corrections, are on track for their worst December performance since the Great Depression in 1931, down more than 12% each this month.
The Dow is on track for its worst month since February 2009.
The Russell 2000, which tracks the stock performance of smaller companies, is on pace for worst month since October 2008 and also fell into a bear market this week.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500 are now in the red for 2018 by at least 9%.

7. They were fine with him until he tanked the stock market.

They got their tax cuts. They got deregulation. Republicans threw environmental protections in the trash.

They got what they wanted. He's useless to them now.

8. True

[yardwork]

9. And they'll never talk about him again.

Worst December for the stock market since the Great Depression.
