Donald Trump Remains The "Existential Threat" to the Professional Political Class Writ Large…

Donald Trump will always remain as the existential threat to their entire financial and ideological construct.
Those who oppose Donald Trump’s candidacy are holding a no retreat position.  There is no middle ground.  If Hillary Clinton is defeated, all those mentioned entities lose.  There are trillions of dollars at stake.  The entire life’s work of major leftist organizations will be destroyed.  It really is that simple.
