Of course they are not enthusiastic about Trump winning the nomination and the presidency.

They are used to docile candidates they can control.

They don’t have a leash around Trump’s throat and a saddle on his back.

They want a candidate who will carry out their agendas in return for getting funny money stuffed into his pockets.

Trump’s got some powerful wealthy friends

No, he's self-funded. He can't take money from anyone and be beholden to them.

“Not everybody depends on illegals, least of all industry leaders in Manhattan. Your reasoning is nonsense and trumpian”.

You don’t understand the economy in Manhattan. A good deal of it — Wall Street, the advertising industry, big law firms — is tied closely to the fortunes of Corporate America. All of these industries are completely behind the free labor express.

Well duh! Who have they been supporting so far and getting beaten at every turn! They’ve even PAC’ed right up against him without a supported candidate and gotten their arses kicked! And then they got to support him in the general? Either way I couldn’t give a crap about Donors, let them eat cake!

Go Trump Go! You got the VOTES so you don’t need their $$$!

“Many do make too much due to fraud and waste in the healthcare system driving up the costs. The politicians are ok with this because it makes the insurance companies and bankers more money. That’s why politicians like Cruz and Pelosi have done nothing to fix the system”

NOW whose talking BS?

Whose butt did you grab that quote out of? Involving cruz in that one is just as crazy as trumpanzees. He by himself cannot get rid of obamacare, especially without the help of the others in congress. And of course including Pelosi belongs ina skit on SNL. Sheese!

Yada yada yada. So much talk and bombast. If Trump gets the nod everything will change. In the end the donors will have to make a deal.

Trump is funding himself for the nomination
For the general election it will take the financial support of backers to fund his campaign
Will you be donating?
I already have even though at this point it has not been asked

I think it is not Trumps responsibility to singly carry the cost of a presidential campaign and would be incredibly selfish of Americans who thought he should do it on his own

You obviously do not remember Cruz trying to kill obamacare with his filibuster on the floor of the senate and got no help? Maybe you need to go learn to read and do research and come back only afterwards.

So you can predict the future hahaha

Critical Thinking is the process of using reasoning to discern what is true, and what is
false, in the phrases and “sound bytes” we hear everyday.
Part of it involves being familiar with logic and logical fallacies - those bits of false
reasoning that are used to manipulate and mislead us.
Part involves being able to separate facts from opinions.
Part involves being fair and open minded; not dismissing anything without
examination, and not accepting anything without examination, either.
Part of it involves asking questions, of yourself and of others, because that is how we
uncover the truth, and the motivations behind the arguments.
Part involves self-regulation; the ongoing process of making sure that you have not fallen
into any of the logical fallacies or rationalizations yourself.
Ideal critical thinkers are open minded; ready and eager to explore all ideas and all
points of view, including those alien or opposed to their own.
They are not threatened by opposing views, because they are looking for the truth; they
know that if they have it already, it will stand any scrutiny. And if they don’t have it, they
are willing to drop the falsehoods they have, and embrace it.
Critical thinkers question everything; using their tools to ferret out the truth, wherever it
may hide.
The tools they use are Logic, Research, and Experience.
Critical thinking can not only make you manipulation proof, it can open new vistas for
you, as things previously hidden become clear.

Trump is beholden to no man. He represents all the little guys giving $25.

If he takes money from big donors, that is a betrayal. Then he will have to dance on their strings. Trump must be totally self-funded or funded only by small donations.

Its not up to you to tell Trump how to run his presdential campaign.

So far he put about $40 million of HIS OWN MONEY into the nomination race. To those who believe in him, you’re welcome, America.

For the general campaign some (many) of us believe the finances must rightfully shift to popular funding and qualifying for matching funds. It’s a shared responsibility we have to support our candidate. He is not doing this for himself. So many of us believe. We want skin in the game. We feel we owe it

If you don’t believe this, if you don’t like him being able to qualify for funding, if you feel betrayed, then don’t vote for him

I don’t see what the difference is if he takes big donor money now or later. Either we he is selling something he isn’t.
