trump will probably say it was trump casinos that made the donations to reid. however, trump has made donations to the democrat house and senate campaign committees. i don’t know where trump stands. he’s taken different positions depending on the audience. i wonder if he’ll use the same effort to secure the border like he did in hiring investigators to search for obama’s birth origin in hawaii.
I’m willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on borders. If he wasn’t consulting closely with Sen. Jeff Sessions (instead of El Jebbe with Eric Cantor), he’d not have credibility that he’ll do something decisive and polar opposite to the past and present regimes.
I hope it's a much greater effort, birtherism is a fool's pursuit and if anything was ever a waste of money....
As to why he didn't try to get rid of Reid, the answer is simple, he hadn't decided at the time that was gonna play the conservative in a future race for President so he had no reason not to back Reid.
