Major Democrat Donor Stephen Cloobeck: If Dems Don’t Stop Class Warfare Rhetoric, ‘I’m Done’ [VIDEO]
The Politistick ^ | 11/07/2017 | Mathew K. Burke

Even as former DNC Chair Donna Brazile reveals deep-seated corruption within the Democrat Party, a liberal billionaire donor to the Democrat Party is fed up with the party’s strategy of continually using class warfare and class envy rhetoric and issued a major warning to Democrats across the country on Tuesday — if he hears the word “billionaire” one more time, he’s going to cut off their money.

Stephen Cloobeck, chairman and CEO of Diamond Resorts, a Las Vegas timeshare company, told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle that the Democrat Party’s policy of punishing success is “so effin’ wrong.”

“When Democrats continue to say, ‘Down with the billionaires! We can’t stand the rich!’ a lot of people want to be rich,” Ruhle asked Cloobeck. “So is it the right message that the Democrats are going with?” she asked.

“It’s so effin’ wrong!”

“Whoa!” interrupted a stunned Ruhle.

“I’ve talked to Schumer, I’ve talked to Wyden, I’ve talked to Pelosi and I said, ‘If you use the term billionaires again, I’m done.’”

“Why?” a curious Ruhle inquired.

“Because it’s aspirational,” Cloobeck answered. “I didn’t start with anything. Just penalize everyone that’s done well? We all want to do well. And we should be the party of doing well. We should be a party of business and leadership. And it is very, very disturbing when I hear the ‘billionaire’ or ‘millionaire’ word. And I told them to stop it, knock it off. Because everyone wants to do really well. And this is the world of aspirations,” he said.

“And are you worried that the Democratic Party goes too far to the left?” Ruhle then asked.

“So much so it drives me nuts!” Cloobeck said with passion. “So much so it would make me quit the party. And I’ve made it very clear, I’ll cut your money off. And others will do the same. We’ve had enough,” he expressed.

Cloobeck answered. “I didn’t start with anything. Just penalize everyone that’s done well? We all want to do well..”

And yet, what does Paul Ryan do with his new tax plan?

Penalize those that are doing well.

no difference: Democrat or RINO!

You're 160 years behind the times genius. The dems have ALWAYS been the party of corruption, tyranny, and crime.

The problem is without class warfare they have no base to mobilize.

They can’t give up the class warfare as they are too dependent upon it for their voter base and organizing base.

So do they want money or do they want votes? They have historically gone with votes as it is a key to money later after the election.

Because they learned in school it was the “cool” thing to do. And...and... the Democrats had the media, and the movies, and academia....

OK Democrat donors open your eyes and read the pillars of the communist and Democrat Party (but I repeat myself):

Envy, Anger, Hatred, Theft, and Murder.

Your donations to the communists will not save you in the end.

So, they can kill the “rhetoric,” but not change the policy? OK.

Meanwhile, most top dems are filthy rich. Friggin hypocrites. The Clintons, Al Gore, J Kerry, J Edwards, and now Barrack Hussein Obama.

How about the class of unborn children, Mr. Cloobeck, which you started in before you became a billionaire?

No Comprendo.
The guy is complaining about one of the major planks of the Democrat Party's platform:

Class envy/warfare.
Racial division/warfare.

If he is a Democrat - then he supports Class warfare. If he doesn't like it - leave the Party of hate.

Rip Van Winkle slept for 20 years.

How many years has this guy been sleeping?

Class warfare has been one of the democrats major strategies since LBJ came up with the idea of buying the black vote with his "War On Poverty".

And Cloobeck is just finding out about it?
