One of the very few pieces I& #39;ve seen that examined the issue of support for Trump among the rich was this one by @eosnos in the @NewYorker.

I& #39;ve been asking this since June 2017 when the Republican eminence rise, James Baker, appeared on Morning Joe to say that he voted for Trump because he was a conservative: has anyone followed up with him about this?
