"Look, I don't know what his intent is, but he's infuriating Hispanics, the very group of voters the GOP is looking to make gains with in 2016," said one party official who asked not to be named. "You could just be an egomaniac running his mouth, but he's starting to look like a guy hand-delivered by the Democrats."
Since the 1980s, Trump has contributed $490,000 to Republicans, according to OpenSecrets.org. But he's donated at least $330,000 to Democrats -- including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid and Anthony Wiener, the husband of Hillary's top aide, Huma Abedin.
The tycoon last showed up in 2012 to talk about President Obama's birth certificate, garnering plenty of coverage by the mainstream media news outlets (In one May 2012 interview on CNN, Wolf Blitzer said to him: "Donald, you're beginning to sound a little ridiculous, I have to tell you.").
Republicans had long moved past the questions that swirled around Obama's birth. But the issue was brought back to the fore by Trump -- and Mitt Romney was then asked repeatedly about the "Republican" stance that the party didn't believe Obama was born in America.
Now, Trump has declared his candidacy for the presidency (although in his announcement speech, in which he said "I" 195 times, he didn't once declare he was running for the Republican nomination).

If this egotistical Blowhard leaves the GOP and runs as an Independent later he will get Hitlery elected as sure as Perot got Monica’s Boyfriend elected.
Till then, watching all these GOPe head’s explode is funny as hell. We all know that no one will out-trump Trump.
Nothing strange here. A lot of business people donate to candidates of both parties. It’s just good business to make sure everybody likes you.
Infuriating Hispanic activists and ethnic hustlers. Probably no objective measure so far of how Hispanics as a whole view Trump.
But the GOPe's obsession with pandering to Hispanics will hurt the eventual Republican candidate far more than anything Trump might do. They're just not yet smart enough to realize that all their pandering can cost them more votes than it can possibly win.
It is the racist liberals who assume that all Hispanics are illegals.
Second one of these stories floated on FR today.
Heard this quote of Ian Flemming’s today;
Once is an accident.
Twice is a coincidence.
Three times is an act of war.
Somewhat apropos, huh?
Trump is getting hit from every side, but he is still rising in the polls. Bet it really hacks ‘em off!
Nah, The Donald is way too smart for that. Just ask him.
OK but you must agree that he might as well be a martian? What does Trump know about life on earth? Probably even less than the beast (Ok..that’s a stretch.)
Republicans have, Constitutionalists will NOT!
Yep, I said in another post,
The media lives by polls...until they don’t.
I read in an Ann Coulter piece that Romney could have won 70% of the Hispanic vote in 2012 and he still would have lost the election but if he would have gotten 5% more of the white vote, he would have won. The whole pandering to Hispanics thing the GOP-E is so invested in is simply a waste of time. The GOP would be much better served by using their resources trying to convince the people who would might actually vote for them to turn out at the polls this election.
First photo I saw of Trump's wife, Melania. Ivanka was stunning in a red dress. Katie Couric had a gorgeous dress and was with her handsome hubby. And Michelle had a new, curly hair style. Source: UK Mirror.
So he's like a bi maybe. Goes which way will benefit him in the long run, his agenda or is truly a Dem plant.
I will say that I believe he cares about the country but is he in for the long run? It has cost him big bucks and has to have hurt his pride already but he soldiers on for now.
If the birther thing was any indication, he quickly retreated back to his normal life when maybe it got THTH. It would be interesting to know why he gave it up.
Trump will do what is necessary for Hillary to Win. He supported her by making donations to her campaign, called her his good friend, invited the Clinton’s to his wedding, and donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. What more proof do you need?
They agree on every single issue? You do know that Trump is Pro-Gun Control, Pro-Abortion, Pro-Gay Marriage right?
When these issues are brought up in a debate, he will get destroyed and what will be left?
Trump is a total clown and the idea that he’s a Dem plant is not far fetched at all.
“Better question: Is the GOPe a Democratic plant?”
There ya go! THAT is the right question!

Long before this current campaign I began to wonder if Trump pays Greta for face time on her show. She certainly loves Donald a lot. A special relationship of some kind.
This from a Jew who likely voted for Obama twice. Give me a break.
People who put their business and their own interests ahead of their country. They're what's wrong with America, more pointedly, Trump is what's wrong with America.
I will sit out rather than vote for Mr. Two-Faced Self-Promoter.
