Donald Trump’s dramatic staff shake-up on Wednesday revealed the growing influence wielded on his campaign by a Republican mega-donor duo.
The fingerprints of Robert Mercer, a New York hedge fund billionaire, and his middle daughter, Rebekah, can be seen all over the new Trump staffing appointments and other decisions being made by the GOP presidential nominee.
The Mercers, who previously put $13.5 million into a super-PAC supporting Ted Cruz's bid against Trump, have recently converted the group into the Defeat Crooked Hillary PAC, targeting Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Robert Mercer has reportedly made a “substantial” additional investment of at least $1 million in the new super-PAC, which has already spent $500,000 on digital ads attacking Clinton in eight battleground states. Additionally, he and particularly Rebekah have become influential figures in Trump World in the past few months.
Rebekah Mercer “lives in a beautiful apartment in one of Trump's buildings on the Upper West Side [of New York City] overlooking the Hudson River,” a source who knows her told The Hill.
A Heritage Foundation trustee and director of the Mercer Family Foundation, Rebekah takes the lead on the details of the Mercers’ political operation, while her father provides the funds.
She’s known as a hands-on operator who won’t open up the Mercer checkbook without strict conditions about which vendors are used and which consultants are hired.
Now loyal to Trump, the Mercers were furious when Cruz didn’t endorse the nominee at the Republican National Convention last month. And because they are among the few mega-donors to get fully behind Trump, they now increasingly have his ear.

Can we trust Conway? Wasn’t she on Team Cruz?
Can we trust Scott walker and Rick Perry and Huckabee?
All three were competing against Trump in primaries, and now support Trump.
If LBJ could trust JFK after a bruising primary season, I think we can trust Kelly Ann Conway. She has seen the light as opposed to the neverTrumpers.
The Hill is about as trustworthy as this hoax site http://abcnewsgo.co/2016/08/abc-live-poll-who-are-you-voting-for/
Character wise , Conway is to the right of Reagan
I like that tune!
What does that mean? In the last year, there has been more Reagan-bashing here than at DU.
Awwwwwwwwww, according to this “analyst” George Soros’ billions, and the 500 million she has received from foreign Muslim oil countries have no influence at all on Hillary.
lets not forget that some think LBJ was one of those responsible for what happen to JFK
She is 100% conservative in every way
and she is quite articulate in expressing her conservatism.
That is even more important than just purity.
Now you tell me! After I went there and voted a while ago haha.
Good.
>lets not forget that some think LBJ was one of those responsible for what happen to JFK
If there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy LBJ certainly led it as he had everything to gain and was going to be replaced as VP. However, strong evidence of a conspiracy doesn’t currently exist. In fact there’s a much stronger case that the Bush family tried to have Reagan killed their family friend John Hinckley.
As Redwulf said, LBJ was direct beneficiary of JFK assassination. However the evidence points to Oswald as the lone assassin, and he certainly was not part of LBJ’s circle or any connection between the two has emerged.
