“He is the governor of VA and Donald Trump contributed to his campaign.”
The previous Republican Governor McDonnell is a convicted felon. His conviction was upheld by an appeal court in July 2015. On August 24, 2015 Chief Justice John Roberts of the US Supreme Court issued a stay of McDonnell’s prison term while he appeals to the US Supreme Court.
It doesn’t appear Trump contributed to McDonnell’s campaign. Trump has contributed to the campaigns of many Republicans including Allen West, McCain-Palin, Peter King, Lindsay Graham, Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Louie Gohmert, Tim Scott, Mark Foley, George Allen, Bush-Cheney, Rudy Guliani, Clay Shaw, Tom Kean, as well as a number of donations to the RNC. Trump has also contributed money to a number of Democrats. Looking at a list of his political contributions since 1999 (almost $900,000 total) it appears Trump gave 62% of his political contributions to Republicans and 38% to Democrats.

Now, now, no disrupting the narrative here... ;)
So Trump has no core principles. We know that.
Bottom line: thanks to Trump’s $25K donation, I have him to thank, in part, for putting one of the most lowlife sleazebags ever to exist in my state’s governor’s mansion.
There is no way you can spin donating to that POS, though I’m not surprised to see the attempt.
And though there are plenty more reasons, that one alone is enough to guarantee I would never vote for Trump.
Actually, he did or I wouldn't have said it. Google "Trump contributed to Terry McAuliffe's campaign" and you will see.
