Good question. How much money and influence does the Ricketts family have?

Donald Trump, Jr. Speaks 2-22-16 Elko NV.
https://youtu.be/1IqfRbjcpDY

It’s a Q and A. Don Jr is more articulate than most candidates in the race! Talks fast, not in a patronizing way and not like he’s lecturing.

Don Jr is part of the full court press from Trump.

“I’m probably the only billionaire’s son more comfortable in a D-10 Cat than a golf cart.”

He personally reloads 100 different calibers.

Very impressive.

Eh, I am from Chicagoland, so nothing surprises me.

Fair enough, that nothing (in politics)would surprise you.

Don't know why I would not believe him...

So then it would surprise you if Trump is telling a fib?

Just wondering if what he is saying Ricketts family is doing "SECRETLY" SPENDING MONEY is legal. As I said, I thought all contributions had to be noted somewhere.

PAC donors are public knowledge. I believe the information is released every quarter. And even when an LLC gives to a PAC, financial information about an LLC is public infomation.

Yes he is playing hardball and it’s about time we had someone that knows how to fight back. Bloody their nose and knock em down, then kick dirt in their face as you leave.

Quite a bit I would think...I don’t think tho that they are long time old Chicago money—the family is GOPe cheap labor express and also had a member who bundled for Obama. They owned TD Ameritrade. Bought Cubs in 2009.

Based on GOPe affiliations, would think they really hate Trump!

Dunno

But Trump would not call PAc or campaign contributions secret would he...

So perhaps Ricketts is funding some shenanigans? They are cheap labor express board members...

They filed campaign-finance reports over the weekend unless Trump knows something going on under the radar which I highly doubt.

yes.

We do need to pray for his safety. TPTB will likely do anything possible.

So what are you arguing about ?
Fear if the unknown !
I know what is going on is pure insanity .

You want the current group of evil amoral bought off hacks to retain power ?

You want these puppets of Global elites like the Rickets or Murdoch or Zuckerberg or Robert Mercer or Ellison to continue to destroy this country with open borders, unlimited H1 Visas, crony capitalism trade deals like NAFTA or TPP that kill this country .

Really .
Wake up.
Rubio and Cruz are owned by people who hate us.

Using your words, I am from NY, so nothing surprises me.

So perhaps Ricketts is funding some shenanigans? They are cheap labor express board members...

If Ricketts is "funding some shenanigans", then Trump should pass that information along to us, no matter what the circumstance.

But that's not what Trump is saying.

New campaign-finance reports show that Marlene Ricketts, the wife of billionaire T.D. Ameritrade founder J. Joe Ricketts, contributed $3 million to Our Principles PAC, a super PAC that blistered Trump with negative ads, voter guides and mailers ahead of the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. Katie Packer, who helped manage Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, runs the group.

Virtually all the money the committee raised in January came from Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs.

I think some of these Pacs are getting around the public Id rule like Ted's sugar daddy Robert Mercer ‘s smear PAC is a dark money PAC which is secret.
