A growing number of big U.S. corporations are dropping or scaling back their sponsorship of the Republican national convention next month in Cleveland, even though most will sponsor the Democratic national convention next month in Philadelphia.
Ford Motor is pulling out, after Trump slammed Ford for planning to build a plant in Mexico and vowed to stop such moves if he becomes president. Apple won’t be there either, after Trump’s criticisms of the company’s use of Chinese manufacturing and its fight with the U.S. government over the encryption of data on its smartphones.
I’ve spoken to several CEOs and Wall Street executives who tell me they’re supporting Clinton over Trump, and so are all their friends.
Some former Republican officials are openly talking about supporting Hillary Clinton over Trump. Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, for example, says she’s “considering voting for Clinton. You’ll see a lot of Republicans do that. We don’t want to, but I know I won’t vote for Trump.”
All of this is should be good news for Clinton and bad news for Trump. But I can’t help worrying: Is there a possibility that, if this continues, Clinton will be seen as the “establishment’s” candidate, and Trump manages to fool the public into thinking he’s the “anti-establishment” candidate?

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
