I counted entries for DSCC (both types), Democratic Congressional Committee and Democratic Senatorial Committee all together to get my total for generic Democrat Party donations.
Those were not dinners, were they? And would Kentuicans for Strong Leadership be holding dinners in New York? That's on you list, too, but that might be understandable if you live in KY. I don't know if you do.
Even so, looks like he did donate to MConnell as well as support him on social media while we were trying to primary him for betraying his campaign promises about using the majority we gave him to fight Obama.
And thank you for actually discussing rather that spewing personal attacks for daring to bring it up.

I think Freepers should all work together to get the best information since we are collectively trying to restore the republic. I appreciate that YOU took the time to do the research as well. A great place to research donations is opensecrets.org.
It may sound shocking but Trump does not give a ton of PAC money, he is a lightweight in that area so he is not trying to buy lobbyists to change legislation. What he buys is “face time” more than anything. Trump is he is a very frugal guy and he wants to make his donations count.
I understand your concern about the Mitch McConnell donations and I have a theory on that. In 2012, Trump was disgusted that Romney lost and within days after that election, he decided that he was going to run for President. He threw a ton of money at Mitch McConnell; Senate incumbents have the highest return rate of any office and was the smart choice if you are serious about a run. Trump is an outsider and he will need friends like Senate Majority Leader. Have you heard McConnell bash Trump outright? Heck no.
I am supporting Trump because the last election was absolutely bungled by Romney. My husband and I gave time and treasure, only to see Romney lose it on the ground in the last 3 weeks. We went to Sheldon Adelson’s home (nice people) in October right before the election and the Romneys were clearly out of gas. Perhaps, Hurricane Katrina and Stuart Stephen’s miscalculations were divine intervention. We can only hope things work out better this time.

I forgot to answer that question. The state listed will always be the address of the donor not the candidate because that is the method that the FEC uses to keep track of each individual donor to make sure they do not go over the limits. When you look at the lists, you will sometimes see minus signs which means they have given back money to the donor who went over the campaign maximum.
