Trump donated tens of thousands of dollars to essentially all New York politicians because he benefits from the business-government interactions in New York. He has to get permits and approvals, and those come more quickly when he can make a phone call to someone who wants to keep him happy. The world should not be that way, but Trump did not create those rules. "Pay to play" and he paid up.
Trump used to be an active liberal, 15 years ago, but I haven't seen any of that since 2002. That's a long time. I prefer Cruz philosophically for his consistent conservatism, but Trump looks like a much better choice than Kasich, Jeb, Christie, Rubio, Hillary, or Bernie.
“Trumps spent nearly $50,000 to elect congressional Democrats, they donated only $1,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRSC)....”
As for me, if I were a wealthy businessperson, I would not give a DIME to libDem politicians, just because I have principles.
And Ronald Reagan was a Democrat until late in life when as he put it, the "party left me".

that’s just absolute BS..you would never accept that answer from anyone but Trump.
Cruz put the poison pill in the gang of 8 and he is still blamed for supporting the legislation. People on here dexpise/hate Cruz because he is working the political process like no one else. He’s part of the GOPe because a lawyer that used to work for McConnell is a lawyer for the PAC.
But Trump is the greatest ever because he is a crony capitalist. He the greatest ever because he is ignorant/inept of the rules. He’s the greatest ever because he conveniently changed his position in the last few years and still can’t articulate them.
The contortions of his followers is sickening. It’s like a 14 year old girl justifying her love for the 16 year old town thug. None of it makes sense.
