Nice news. Off topic, but this is enough to make me a Cubs fan, as the Cubs will be in the baseball playoffs.........

A member of the Ricketts family owns the Cubs.

Does that mean Trump has Ricketts? I hear they’re painful.

This is a surprise, Ricketts was all in for Cruz.

The son owns the Cubbies, they are doing something right this year, it’s actually exciting for the city though I’m a Sox fan.

Ricketts did a round table thing with Beck back in the day. His sis is a lesbo, the whole thing is a head scratcher.

Ricketts douchebags!

How many million$ did they waste on Cruz and that venal "Never Trump" bullsnot??!! And now they want to give Trump a whole million $$$???!!! The cheap frigging piccaninnies!

They can give it to the RNC because Trump is not taking any of it in his name.

Gov. Ricketts of NE has always supported Trump. Glad the rest of the family has joined the Trump train.

And Hillary is too sick to attend NC fundraiser!
I thought the Clinton’s would rise like Dracula to suck money from donors.

According to this FOX biz article, Trump needs more big donors.
