What other Republican politician would anyone here vote for, who had for decades donated as much money to Democrats as to Republicans, slightly more to Democrats? Until only four years ago at least, Trump donated 54% of $1.3 million to Democrats, including $10,400 to Harry Reid.

Now all you pragmatists out there can write it off as "the cost of doing business" for Trump, but just you remember the guys who signed the Declaration of Independence. If they had taken Trump's approach, the "cost of doing business" would have been to support the Crown; instead, these guys not only risked their business profits, they risked their property and their lives.

Trump is an American patriot who nonetheless at least up until very recently has donated and supported Democrat politicians who advance pure government tyranny, and he did it for his own financial gain and the gain of his stockholders. Now he aspires to lead this great nation created by men put their own financial gain well aside in order to stand by the political principle that created the greatest nation on earth.

Truly, folks -- consider this about Trump and ask yourself -- if Dubya, Romney, Dole, or any other Republican political candidate donated as much of his hard-earned money to Democrats as to Republicans over the years, would you even consider voting for him? Hell no!

So ask yourself -- why is Trump not getting the same "Hell no!"?

If your business depended on the largess of whatever party was in control, you would probably do the same.

If you were telling me that he gave 75% to Rats and 25% to Pubbies, you would have more of point.

He builds hotels, resorts and casinos. Is it any wonder that he gave money to Harry Reid, the Senator from Nevada?

He’s pragmatic, not dogmatic. Part of his appeal, if you ask me.

Oh, BTW, GO CRUZ!!!

It's laughable that you use such failures as Dubya, Romney, & Dole to somehow attempt to sway opinion against Trump. Why not throw in McCain as well?

The failure of the Republican party and the gutless wonders and backstabbers we keep throwing up into Washington is just further proof of the failure of that path.

I want something different.
