The personal attacks and “I’m going home” says I struck a nerve.

I am in a small private business and we don’t dontate to politicians whose efforts run counter to our company’s interest, regardless of party. If they are running or in power, we just keep quiet.

Since 1999, a rough scan shows he has been donating exclusively Republican since October 2010, yet overall he has donated more to Democrats than Republicans.

In that time, Trump has donated $93,000 to either the Democrat Congressional Committee or the Democrat Senatorial Commitee. He was not even greasing the palm of a local politician with those. But when he did go local, Rangel got more than Shumer.

Interestingly, the personal biggest winner is McConnell. Between Kentuicans for Strong Leadership and McConnell, he donated a total of $65,400. All in 2013 and 2014, when the tea party was trying to defeat him in the primary. Trump fought us then. Hard.

The funniest one was to “Friends of Weiner”, who got almost $5,000.

Would you honestly accept this donation history from any other Republican candidate? Or would it be troubling?

Trumps supporters are all in. Nothing that is posted online will change that.

Even Free Republic founder J Robinson exposed how Cruz jumped the shark by aligning with Glen Beck. Glen Beck is not trustworthy and has already lied about Trump and said he would vote for Sanders over Trump. Glen Beck is still devastated that Romney lost and cannot handle the fact that so many more Americans prefer Trump over Romney. Glen Beck is a Trump Hater and wants Bernie Sanders over Trump. Beck is a closet liberal. Beck needs to be honest about being a closet liberal and leave Trump alone.

Cruz has lost his effort to be President of the United States. It is over for Cruz. Trump supporters are in it to win it and Trump only gains more support each and every day.

Your numbers do not add up. Here are Super Pac and Joint Committee donations. It is important to know that if you attend a $10,000 or $20,000 a plate dinner the tickets are $2700 to the candidate and then usually the rest goes to the Party Committee, that is just the way it works. As far as Chuck Rangel goes, surely you are aware that he is the representative for the Upper West neighborhood in Manhattan, where Trump Parc. Don’t you think that with Trump’s clientele that he would go to “parties” on the Upper West side? Trump would be crazy not to go to these events when he is promoting 13 residential high rises priced over $5000 per foot plus lower Manhattan commercial.

We used to own major land holdings in a heavily Democratic City. Donate to both Democrats and Republicans or have a lobotomy. Perhaps it just matters what business you are in.

Trump has businesses in NYC.

Just like Jesse Jackson, Sharpy Sharpton demands "PROTECTION MONEY" from businesses and pols alike.

You own a "small" business; Trump owns LARGE ones.
