    Funny, it seems that these days, all the billionaires are donating to the Democrat Party.

    Isn't that ironic?

    Weren't progressives trying to tell us for many decades that billionaires donate to the Republican Party?

    And look at all those former union workers in the Rust Belt. Now they're throwing their support to Trump.
    Desperately hoping some of those trade policies will be reversed, that their region might be able to get some of their jobs back.

    But if the Presidential Election of 2016 taught us anything it is that a candidate can still win with far less money.
    (The Hillary campaign spent nearly twice as much as Trump)

    The Democratic Party is the party of the rich elite, so this is no surprise. You want the Middle Class and Working Class.... it's not the Democrats.

    We’re trying to elect a guy from a middle class family.
    This is the Third republican president in a row that grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Who’s the last Dem president who didn’t grow up poor or middle class?

    You do realize that this is bad for the Democrats right? The bad perception for the dems this creates will overcome any gains they would have made with advertising.

    Fortunately, Trump has always been a proud member of the middle class who has never been around any elite in his life.

    I thought billionaires were supposed to be evil capitalist scum, and the enemy of a free and equitable society.

    So it's a bad thing they're not supporting Trump?

    You were supposed to nominate a young progressive non white guy who wasn’t part of the system.

    "Yet" being the operative word.

    Trump is what stands between sanity, and the AOC-run Democrat dystopia.

    Yet.

    Joe Biden pays over $20,000 a month just on one of his homes. He's worth is well over $9 million.... and his son and brother and daughters are worth far far far more than him... lol

    The Billionaires are noticing now that the media is easy to buy and the all cover for themselves in a circle, they can just buy off ALL of them to hide all their **** and/or use them to enrich themselves more.

    Oh, I don't know if it matters too much. The Trump campaign is raking in millions of dollars. I suppose the billionaires are important for doing a multiplied matched donations with ordinary donors. I'm not sure how this funding is done since like a poster above said the max-donation to a Presidential campaign is about $5K.
