Trump’s donations were equally divided between R & D until 2011 when the balance changed to become almost exclusively R.
As of 2011 the sums of money to each of the 96 candidates Trump supported maxed at 25K to Rangel, McCain 13K, Lautenburg 12K, Reid at the 4th highest got 10.4K total. $170,000 to the Republican Governor’s Association, $50,000 to the ultra-conservative American Crossroads PAC, $30,400 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. DNC 116K.
Since 2012, Trump has donated $463,450 to Republicans and just $3,500 to Democrats (California Attorney General Kamala Harris and New York Assemblyman Michael Benedetto). (via politifact)
If you can’t see the difference between the millions of dollars Cruz’s major backers gave him/and are giving Clinton and the av 2-4K Trump donated to politicians you are willingly blind.
Yes, I understand and I see your point. I understand why businessmen donate to both sides; it is a business decision. A shame that things shake down that way. I also think that when we are talking billionaires that there’s not a heck of a lot of difference in the amounts we’re talking. For example, 13 million is just 1.3% of a flat 1 billion, obviously 50,000 is less, but it’s not like 1.3% is a large percentage.
To speak about why some donate to both parties at the same time and this person seems to have changed parties half way through would just be guessing. Maybe someone will ask.
