The Business Elites Who Know Trump 2.0 Would Be A Disaster Should Say So
Even if they don't endorse Biden, total silence helps Trump, and it takes a unified front to win.
In normal times, the thought that business leaders might support the Republican nominee for president wouldn’t be unusual or alarming.
Indeed the nexus between the corporate elite and the tax-cutting GOP often provides a valuable contrast. Left-of-center parties stand to benefit from siding with the little guy, which is hard to do while arm-in-arm with business leaders. FDR welcomed their hatred. They’ve got money, we’ve got people. Etc., etc.
In the Trump era, that kind of strategic thinking doesn’t hold as clearly.
