How many times has that excuse been proffered?
You have to donate $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to get business done in New York?
Isn’t the DSCC a national outfit and not limited to New York alone?
Trump has also donated to Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
I guess that's what one must do to get business done in New York.
When I had a small business in a major American city in a deeply blue state, I also registered Democrat and was invited to many fundraisers, where I paid small tributes and got access to the mayor and many of the powerbrokers, and landed contracts with very visible city agencies. I also sought out the Republican fundraisers and gave money there. In the privacy of the voting booth, I voted straight Republican. It's called rendering to Caesar. Go ahead, denounce it.
