Trump Donated Heavily To Democrats, Especially During Election Which Put Reid And Pelosi In Power
DailyCaller ^ | 6/3/15 | Chuck Ross

While the Trumps spent nearly $50,000 to elect congressional Democrats, they donated only $1,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRSC).

But perhaps the worst outcome that election for Republicans was that Pelosi and Reid became Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, respectively. The pair made a formidable team and did heavy lifting to ensure that Obama was elected in 2008 and that much of his agenda — including Obamacare — was put in place.

I just ran it though my calculator and the payoff to Cruz from Goldman Sachs was 10 times greater. Does this make Cruz 10 times worse? Probably.

Then he IS part of the problem of dysfunctional government and not the solution to it.

I guess we’re going to see who is gunning for Trumps VP pick. Which one of the other candidates will put in a good word for him?

Who, pray tell, do you consider a candidate without blemish?

Missed here is that House and Senate STILL operate exactly as if Pelosi and Reid are the leaders.

Old news Bucko.

Trump has been forthcoming on who he donated to in the past.

I would imagine the Hag and Bag team would have prevailed anyway minus $50,000.

That’s chump change.

Why are you using articles that were already exposed? It’s ridiculous.

At issue here is the corruption of government that is at the heart of the oligarchy destroying our freedoms. There are two sides to that equation, the corrupt politicians who sell influence and power to the grifter business people who buy it to make their fortunes. We The People get caught in the middle. Well if this guy is part of that equation I refuse to vote for him even if he does win the primary and runs as the GOP candidate. I have said before, and will say it again, I will never again vote the lesser of two evils. Until this issue is resolved, my vote for him, should he win, is on hold.
