Donald Trump is just one of many big name donors funding Terry McAuliffe's campaign to win the Virginia governor's mansion this fall, according to newly released financial disclosure reports - and he isn't even among the most generous givers.

The New York real estate magnate cut McAuliffe a check for a whopping $25,000 in late March, but that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the largest single donation in McAuliffe's report - a $251,000 gift from billionaire media tycoon Haim Saban in January. That check narrowly bested a $250,000 contribution the following month from Steve Bing, another big fish in the entertainment industry.

I haven't heard about this. Does this matter to anyone? I know this is supposedly pre-conversion, but this money was used to defeat Ken Cuccinelli. Here's more detail.

If THIS is not enough to swear off Trump... sorry, but I just can’t help you.

Yes, that 25 thousand really rocked McAuliffe to victory! Meanwhile, Ken Cuccinelli is apparently supporting Virginia’s efforts to disenfranchise independent voters by pushing that BS loyalty oath— which they, of course, cannot actually force the voters to abide by.

“...but this money was used to defeat Ken Cuccinelli.”

This article is dated 2009. Cuccinelli was defeated for governor in 2013.

Cuccinelli ran in 2013.

But yes, I knew about it. Anyone who contributed to the filthy toad who squats in my governor’s mansion will never get my support, and that includes Trump.

Can you show us the ‘conversion’? I would definitely support Trump over Hillary, but Trump has never been a part of the Liberty Movement. Until I see that he understands the constitutional limits of gov’t, & intends to enforce them, I’ll stick with Cruz.

This other guy gave the really big money to McAuliffe, and is giving even more to Hildabeast... He’s an Israeli Billionaire.

This is how he says you control Americans:

“At a conference in Israel, the article said, Saban had outlined three methods for influencing American politics: “make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.””

Imagine how I feel, and all the abuse I get for saying factual things about Cruz!

have not fallen for the Trump bs, not for a second...if he actually does really try to win I'll vote for him of course but I think all you trumpsters are going to be very very angry when this is all over...

Trump is not conservative, he's not republican....he's a rich guy in bed with Hitlery...

all it matters to the elites is their money....
