    I have zero doubt that they not only don’t support Trump, but actually loathe and detest him just as much as any other person with a working brain and/or conscience and/or eyes and/or sense of smell does.

    What they support is plutocracy, and they see Trump as the path to it.

    He’s not so much a candidate as a disease vector.

      Trump is a pay to play guy. If you pay him, he will do you a favor. Some Silicon valley companies really want immigration legislation so they can hire foreign nationals more easily for American-based jobs. or they want to keep certain taxes low.
