i'm shocked!!!!! not.
Megadonor and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson has formally announced his endorsement of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, conceding that while he does not agree with the real-estate mogul on every issue, he would be a much more suitable president than Hillary Clinton.
"While the primary cycle still has some important elections ahead, it is clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president," Adelson wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published early Friday morning. "I am endorsing Trumps bid for president and strongly encourage my fellow Republicans especially our Republican elected officials, party loyalists and operatives, and those who provide important financial backing to do the same."
The alternative to anyone but Trump becoming the 45th president, he wrote, "is frightening."
"If Republicans do not come together in support of Trump, [President Barack] Obama will essentially be granted something the Constitution does not allow a third term in the name of Hillary Clinton," he wrote. "Ive spent time talking to Donald Trump. Do I agree with him on every issue? No. But its unlikely that any American agrees with his or her preferred candidate on every issue."
