Trump’s not a conservative, not nearly.
“...of the nearly $420,000 Trump has donated to committees, the largest recipient has been the Democratic Senatorial Campaign “
According to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of Trump’s federal campaign contribution history, The Donald has been a prolific donor to both Democrats and Republicans during the past two decades.
In all, Trump has contributed to 96 candidates running for federal political office since the 1990 election cycle, the Center finds. Only 48 of the recipients — exactly half — were Republicans at the time they received their contribution, including ex-Gov. Charlie Crist (I-Fla.) and ex-Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), who both of whom received their Trump contributions as Republicans.
Since the 1990 election cycle, the top 10 recipients of Trump’s political contributions number six Democrats and four Republicans. Embattled Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), who was censured last year by his U.S. House colleagues, has received the most Trump money, totaling $24,750. The most recent contribution from Trump to Rangel was a $10,000 gift during the 2006 election cycle.
The top Republican recipient of Trump’s money is Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who has collected $13,600 from the billionaire magnate, the second most of any politician. Trump did not contribute to McCain during the 2010 election cycle, during which the former presidential candidate was facing re-election.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has received the fourth-largest amount of Trump’s contributions, including $4,800 in the successful 2010 campaign against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. In total Trump has contributed $10,400 to Reid.
However, of the nearly $420,000 Trump has donated to committees, the largest recipient has been the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee with $116,000 — or more than one fourth of his total contributions to all party and political action committees.

I urge you to vote for Cruz if you like. It won’t matter, but you can feel good about yourself and continue to try to cast others as supporting a Leftist.
I have listened to Trump. He’s not hawking Leftist policy.
He donated to many people reagardless of party affiliation. I don’t like it, but from people I’ve talked to, that’s what large businesses do. If your state is heavily Democratic, you wind up giving to Democrats who may help you later.
Trump has his own interests at stake, and he also has the interests of 22,500 employees at stake.
That’s not how we operate, but then we don’t have $11 billion dollar enterprises on the line. He does.
The guy is going to do good things. I expect him to do some bad things too.
Gosh, we’ve never seen that before... er a well, okay we have.
