Democratic megadonors, including George Soros and Tom Steyer, are putting millions of dollars into efforts to put Hillary Clinton in the White House and win control of the Senate.

Their investment comes as Republicans worry about not only their nominee Donald Trump’s chances, but also his effect on down-ballot races.

Instead of begging for donations....why not get a job...like as a the FIRST former woman Sec of State for adult diapers. Should bring in a bunch.

Stupid AP. Within the first two paragraphs they try to make big donations seem like a sign of strength for Hillary, and then point out big donations for Romney did nothing to keep him from losing.

Time for a Trump Bump. I’ll be able to send some this week. He’s going to need it for TV time.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Comrade Soros were to give every nickel he has to The Former Twelfth Lady and she lost anyway? Then he would,under President Trump,have to live in a 2,000 sq ft house on a quarter acre,drive a late model Chevy or Honda,pay thousands and thousands a year for a lousy ObamaCare policy and clip supermarket coupons....JUST LIKE US!

BWAHAHAHA!

I hope Trump points out that Hillary is invisible to voters while having insider gatherings to raise money.

The Harridan has blown $100 million and is essentially tied with Trump, who spent zero until this weekend..

Keep writing those checks, Soros!

Likely the billions siphoned off from the US government and into their pockets.

Hopefully all their money will be for naught just like all the money Jeb spent didn’t help him in the least. God willing, and I pray and hope that He is.
