Bet there is not 1 multi-billion dollar company that does not donate to both Parties. It is called hedging your bet. How many Billion dollar companies have you built?

Since I was a Dem 35 years ago I guess I don’t pass the Levin Conservative Purity test either. Enjoy your little tiny club.

Pray America wakes

I don’t see why any elected Republicans would even need to donate to Democrats seeing as how they ARE Democrats.

I've always found this curious. That implies we only trust those who only donate to (R) candidates. And since we have practically zero good (R) politicians, you are effectively asking for those who only donate to RINOs. Because that is who makes up 99% of the (R).

I also don't see how donating to both parties is a bad thing in the GENERAL election when you need to court the (D) and (L) along with the (R) and (C). Trump gets to highlight the fact he was non-partisan. Don't you think that is an asset?

Finally it is just pocket change. Let's say that you sloop are a millionaire on paper ( house, assets, etc ). Okay? We'll assign Trump a value of 5 billion which is probably low. That places him at a 5000x multiplier relative to your wealth.

When he donated $60,000 to (D)ummycrats in 2006 that was the equivalent to you donating $12 ( twelve dollars! ).

In 2012 when he donated $290,000 to the (R)INOcrats, that was the equivalent to you donating $58 ( fifty-eight dollars! ).

So this is what's got your dander up? Really?

Those donations are picked off this graph I found in this thread ...
