You get what you pay for ... or so it is said.
More like a Romney Obama combo.

By the way, if she was for sale, then he wanted all the things she did. He's on the hook for her record as much as she is.
LOL. Nice, McConnell.

It means you endorse some substantial portion. If that's not true then this whole "controled by the donor class" argument is bogus.
That fact is: Trump is the donor class.
A businessman has to donate to politicians in his area. I believe Trump did it mainly to get work done and not because he supported their agenda. It is part of the cost of doing business. It’s not his fault that the politicians in his area were dums.
With GOP nomination looming, Trump is slated to take witness stand in fraud trial
"Here's a part of the political calendar that nobody in the Republican Party seems to have noticed: This spring, just as the GOP nomination battle enters its final phase, frontrunner Donald Trump could be forced to take time out for some unwanted personal business: He's due to take the witness stand in a federal courtroom in San Diego, where he is being accused of running a financial fraud. In court filings last Friday, lawyers for both sides in a long-running civil lawsuit over the now defunct Trump University named Trump on their witness lists. That makes it all but certain that the reality-show star and international businessman will be forced to be grilled under oath over allegations in the lawsuit that he engaged in deceptive trade practices and scammed thousands of students who enrolled in his "university" courses in response to promises he would make them rich in the real estate market.
Although the case has been winding its way through the courts for the past five years - and Trump has denied all wrongdoing - the final pretrial conference is now slated for May 6, according to the latest pleadings in the case. No trial date has been set, but the judge has indicated his interest in moving the case forward, the pleadings show.
"This is pretty amazing," said Scott Reed, a veteran Republican Party consultant, about Trump's upcoming due date in federal court. "Usually, you clean this stuff up before you run for president."............................ Trump is accused of financially threatening woman during secret deposition
........."Trump has made little secret of his inclination to strike back hard - on the campaign trail and in the courts - against anybody who opposes him. But the secret deposition in the San Diego case calls attention to the danger that a Trump presidency could turn into what one lawyer who has sued Trump called a "litigation circus" in which a sitting president would be forced to submit to multiple depositions and even jury trials as a result of ongoing civil lawsuits.
Little noticed while he has emerged as the Republican frontrunner for president, Trump remains mired in litigation on multiple fronts. In addition to defending the Trump University suits, he has initiated legal action in the past year against restaurateurs and the Univision network after they pulled out of business deals over his comments about Mexican immigrants. He has also recently threatened to sue rival Ted Cruz on the grounds that he is not eligible to be president because he was born in Canada. At a CNN forum Thursday night, in response to a question about his propensity to threaten opponents with lawsuits, Trump replied, in part, "I have wonderful lawyers. I like to send letters." Just last week - three days before Makaeff made her court filing - a judge in Washington, D.C., overruled the objections of Trump's lawyers and ordered him to submit to a deposition in a suit he filed against one of the restaurateurs.
As Yahoo News noted in August, none of these cases would go away were Trump elected president. In 1997, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that presidents are not immune from civil litigation while in office, rejecting Bill Clinton's claim that he should not be subjected to a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by a former Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones."
Texas governor Abbott once chased Trump University from Lone Star State
.....The "university," which actually was a real-estate training package that awarded no accredited degrees, is now defunct. There are currently three active lawsuits against Trump and Trump University: one by the New York attorney general's office and two related California class actions.
The plaintiffs allege Trump and Trump University defrauded thousands of people throughout the country by selling real-estate training packages, ranging from $1,495 workshops to a "Gold Elite" program that cost up to $34,995, and came with "mentoring" - pledges of personal coaching on real-estate deals from Trump University instructors.
But the first major shot at Trump University came from Texas in January 2010. That's when Abbott's assistant attorney general in the Consumer Protection and Public Health Division, Rick Berlin, began a probe of whether the operation violated Texas' Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act.
In a "civil investigative demand" mailed to university corporate offices at Trump's 40 Wall Street address, Abbott's office sought financial records; promotional and advertising material, such as that used to promote Trump University seminars in Texas; talking points and sales scripts used by seminar leaders to encourage people to purchase the paid programs; and names of all Texans who "purchased your workshop or mentoring program" from January 2008 to the present.
Rather than respond and turn over the requested documents, Trump University agreed to cease doing business in Texas.
Later that year, Trump University stopped operations altogether."...
Ted had the chance to talk about big ideas and constitutional principles last night but he did not. Instead he tried to take out the front runner. It was a bad plan. The front runner is lacking in the one area Cruz excels...policy. He actually succeeded in making it seem like Rubio had more command of policy than he did. Cruz had an opportunity to rise above the fray but instead he climbed into the mud pit and started slinging.
OMG that’s good!!
And you think that Trump would not resort to amnesty?
In the theater of snarky comments that disappear the next day, it’s a net zero. He wanted what she had to offer because, and I know it’s tough, but he was a businessman at the time.
Don’t assume I’m a Trump supporter. I am just saying this particular gambit will backfire and Rush isn’t calling this one correctly.
It sure is funny to read Rush cleaning up the potty training of the two yipping yapping open borders chihuahuas. Too bad Rush cannot hear what those two sounded like last night... Yip, Yap sounding so big and bad...
“....That $100,000 gift from Trump to the Boehner-allied super PAC was twice as big as his next-biggest contributions. [Trump’s] given $50,000 .. to Karl Rove’s American Crossroads (2010) [and $50,000 to] the pro-Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Kentuckians for Strong Leadership (2013)...
And then Trump gave McConnell’s PAC another $10,000 in Nov 2014.
You’re running out of time, CW. You’d better crank up the daily number of hit pieces on Trump if you expect to sway this election.
definitely different dynamics than the past.
Trump was hoping that Rubio would team up with him once again against Cruz and instead Rubio was all over him all night, he and Cruz coming at Trump all night.
He gave millions to Hillary. I think it’s ridiculous to ignore that fact. There are plenty of ‘businessmen’ who don’t do that.
Donating to the Clintons for the quid pro quo makes Trump part of the Washington problem.
Trump has fed the leviathan more than just about anyone, and now Trump wants to be the guy to slay it?
Don’t think so.
Cruz is the only one that has tried to slay it from the inside, all the while the elites were watching.
That’s why Cruz is despised by everyone in Washington.
I choose Cruz.
