formatting sucks, I’m not a good internet guy, so go here:
You will find he gave 2x as much to repubs.
I give to dems all the time, and republicans, I have to feed both mouths. But you know this, you are just stirring the pot trying to rouse the uneducated, or you yourself are just uneducated in the ways that contracting works (and I can accept that, most people don’t know).
But here’s an education for you. He gave 2x the amount to Repubs than Dems. That’s more than I can say for myself, because I sh*t and eat in a Dem state (Illinois), like Trump does, only much less so, and I don’t deal with as many contracts (volume or value). So, I’m flabbergasted and amazed he gave so little. That says megatons about his ability as a mover and shaker.
Last year my company gave over a million dollars to political campaigns, I’d say it was roughly 70/30, plus we donated about the same amount to charitible organiztions (ie, on the sly political campaigns, such as United Way, various Mega Churches, Rainbow Coalition, Rahn’s Chicago, some Baptist Church’s, etc). It is the cost of doing contractor business.
But you knew this right? Or are you new to the politics game?
Here in Illinois it is 70/30 Dem, but in Utah, it’s about 80/20 Repub, and Texas is about 70/30 repub to do “business”.
We owners just consider it a “tax” nothing more, nothing less.
So what?
I used to be a pretty active member of the party in California (don’t laugh), was even elected to a local position and I have a few friends in high places there.
But in this case I am just talking about being a registered member of the party. Hypothetical because I don’t live in Colorado (I no longer live in CA either).
Only about 700 to go. :-)
I agree.
Your boy ain’t nowhere near the number.
Prepare for major disappointment. Cruz is pretty much out of gas come April 26 the.
Maybe, IF Trump can get to 1,237 delegates. If not, anything is possible and it’s likely Cruz will win on the second ballot. Look for it.
But, but, Trump is sending his elite thug squad to Colorado next week to “talk” to the undecided delegates.
Didn’t want to pay the $5 fee.
And Cruz is still losing.
Poor Ted, the only way he can “win” is through a slim chance at a brokered convention
Post of the Day for April 9th!
He also smoked the voters. They had no choice.
If you think that if you lived in Colorado you cant vote for Trump or Cruz you are wrong. You just needed to meet a few rules to be in the caucus.
There is no basis to the fact that people think they are not allowed to vote in a caucus. In fact I found the rules in less than a minute of searching.
For those who are to lazy to search for the rules as to who can vote in Colorados caucus here is a link.

Once again you can see where Republicans vote they vote for Cruz. Just follow the link and you can read about how you must be affiliated with the Republican party for at least two months. And some other minor things like oh being registered to vote for 29 days and living in the precint for 30 days.
Wow that is tough to accomplish to vote in the caucus. But hey if you Trump supports want to look stupid and say Colorado voters have no say go ahead. Maybe it is the lack of any real effort on Trumps part as to why the voters were switched all to Cruz.
Doesn't make sense but go Trump or whatever you say.
Trumpies will be singing that same sad song after the 2nd ballot.
Very good news for Ted Cruz.
Hahahaha.
Trumpers cannot stop whining, can they.
Really! If these trumpers get this riled up because Cruz wins Colorado, what’s going to happen when Trump doesn’t get the votes and loses at the Convention?
It will be interesting to see.
