Yes I understand he’s given to Republicans and conservative organizations as well such as disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL), Senator John McCain (R-AZ) received a donation during his presidential run, former President George W. Bush, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Republican Governors Association, and National Republican Senatorial Committee.
At best this “bipartisan” giving that seems to lean toward liberals and moderates make him look like somebody who puts his business’ bottom line over principles. It certainly doesn’t show somebody who shares tea party values.
Do the Republicans and tea partiers infatuated with him right now really want somebody like this residing in the White House? Likely Iowa Republican Caucus goers and tea partiers who are infatuated with this man, please wake up. He is not one of you.
