"No conservative is going to vote for Trump after his contribution record is made public"

For what it's worth (just playing devil's advocate). Here's Trump's quote from the Hannity interview when Sean raised that issue of Democratic campaign donations, "I'm in New York. OK. I mean, the Republicans don't even think they have a chance. And, you know, maybe I would have a chance, OK? But they don't even think about New York. So, I've lived in New York. This building, this great tower and many other towers I own, they are in New York. Everyone is Democratic. So, what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans? Am I going to contribute to, I mean, one thing I'm not stupid. Am I going to contribute to a Republican for my whole life when they get, they run against some Democrat. And the most they can get is one percent of the vote? So, I think more importantly, and this question will always be asked. I mean, I've contributed to Schumer, I contributed -- I've known Schumer for many, many years. And I have a good relationship with him. The fact is, that I think it is time maybe that we all do get along".

I've been giving this some thought. (In real life, lol, my son negotiates with developers every day on multi-million dollar real estate deals for his employer.) Now, think about Joe Blow sitting across from Trump during a real estate transaction. They're negotiating. They've played a round of golf. Joe was invited to a Trump party. They get along. When the rubber hits the road and a deal has been struck, do you think Trump goes soft because he gets along with Joe or do you think Trump goes for the jugular to make the largest profit possible? I want a President (whoever that might be) who looks out for the OUR interest, not a foreign country's.

What a novel idea!
