Peter Thiel, PayPal Co-Founder, to Be Delegate for Donald Trump
- venomsnake 10y agoSo there is at least one Trump supporter in Silicon Valley.
- hugh4 10y agoI think you'd be surprised by how many there are.
- venomsnake 10y agoTrust me, I won't. I know why they keep low profile though. I was mostly mocking the recent media wave of "no one in SV likes Trump" articles.
- joeguilmette 10y agoI had no idea about Thiel's politics. Is it acceptable to judge someone's character based on their political beliefs?
- venomsnake 10y agoOnly if you can make the right judgement. The Trump support is very heterogenous. Unless you know the reason that specifiic individual support him, you may judge wrong.
- joeguilmette 10y agoI can think of a few politicians in history with whom there is no reason that excuses supporting them - for me, Trump is on that list.
- machinelearning 10y agopeter thiel is a contrarian. That implies that he follows the unpopular opinion. Since elections are based on popularity, if thiel is right, Hilary becomes president
- ScottBurson 10y agoI wonder if Thiel is still as enthusiastic about Trump after The Donald's recent comment about printing money to pay off the national debt.
