http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/republican-millionaire-behind-trump-is-disgusting-skywriting-i-would-vote-for-secretary-clinton/Saying, Theres no place for him, the Alabama millionaire who paid for planes to circle the Rose Bowl and trash GOP front runner Donald Trump on New Years Day said he would probably vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton if he had to choose between the two, CBS News is reporting.
Stan Pate, the real estate developer who paid for the planes to fill the air with anti-Trump messages, called his fellow property developer despicable, and said there is no place for him in American politics.
He needs to go back to one of his tall towers and build buildings and whatever else he does. Hes a despicable man, Pate explained.
Quite frankly, if it was Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton, I would vote for Secretary Clinton, he said. I will accept anybody but Trump.

This is not over, Pate told CBS. This is just beginning.

...and at least he's willing to put his money where his mouth is.
Yes the other candidates are bad, but Trump's ascendancy is dangerous. Even GWB admonished us not to target Muslims, for which I was grateful, even considering the source. Trump, of course, seems to have no filter at all, and he spouts dangerously racist rhetoric.
So I don't care if the real estate developer is still a Republican, and I don't care if his motive was just hating Trump. He did a Good Thing, IMO.
