There is plenty of top-grade politically-conservative technical talent in America.

Yes, Silicon Valley leans left in some ways, and politically conservative developers are outnumbered. The Democrats could probably pull together enough people for fifty top-quality campaign teams, while the Republicans could probably only manage five.

That said, the Democrats put together one top-quality campaign team while the Republicans put together zero - and those are the numbers that matter.




There's a large percentage of Silicon Valley that is at least fiscally conservative - if the Republicans would just soften up on social issues I imagine many of them would jump ship.
