He needs to stop doubling down on this.

On the contrary. As a NJ voter, I would love nothing better than if Cruz came in and slammed Orange Donald for his past support of the Democrats responsible for ruining my state. I think Cruz is right on.

Here's Orange Donald's buddy list in the NY Dem party and beyond:

Terry McAuliffe: $25,000
Elliot Spitzer: $21,000
Andrew Cuomo: $84,000
David Dinkins: $7,750
Chuck Schumer: $7,900
NY Democrat Party: $116,000
Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee: $116,000
Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee: $46,050
Charlie Rangel: $24,750
Anthony Weiner: $4,450
Rahm Emmanuel: $50,000
Hillary Clinton: $9,500
John Kerry: $5,500
Carolyn Maloney: $4,000
Jimmy Carter: $1,000
Max Baucus: $2,000
Joe Biden: $1,000
Erskine Bowles: $1,000
Tom Daschle: $4,000
Chris Dodd: $3,000
Democrat National Committee: $15,000
Dick Durbin: $1,500
Ted Kennedy: $7,000

The Trump Chumps don't care, just good business they will say.

You don't get more Establishment than paying off contributing to every politician possible to further your personal and business interest.

[Jane Long]

You left off the donations Trump - as a businessman - made to Republicans like Bed cRuz.

Every NJ and NYer I’ve spoken with (have to travel their quite often) LOVE Trump and do NOT like Lyin’ cRuz.

One cabby was hilarious, when he found out I am from TX....he said, “Texas?? That’s where Ted Cruz is from...he LIES!!”

Got such a kick out of that.

Everyone I’ve had meetings with, drivers, family/friends in NY/NJ LOVE Trump.

[Durbin]

Yep. The NY Democrat establishment loves them some Donald.

[xzins]

Curious thing....what Cruz said just months ago is no longer relevant, but what Trump did or said years ago is up to the minute relevant.

He has given FAR MORE to conservatives since his change to conservative than he has given to democrats.

And, as he has said. To operate business in America, you must play the game that’s set before you.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Cruz takes money from the same people Hillary has.

Terd Snuz can be bought just like any politician.

[bray]

You do realize he was businessman wanting to get permits passed in NYC? Oh yeah, you know how to become a billionaire without bribing like Goldman Sachs bribes Cruz’s wife.

Pray America wakes

[Lisbon1940]

Your list would be better if it included the dates or date ranges.

[jospehm20]

You forgot Cruz. Like many of Ted Cruz’s uniparty establishment coworkers on your list, Cruz took money from Trump too.

[Freedom56v2]

Source for your numbers?

Did you accidentally or intentionally omit Trump’s contributions to Republicans?

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

would you mind posting a list of his R buddies and beyond?

[pas]

But he only gave them money so he could build buildings. That is just smart business. /s
