Maybe he knows that Kasich will emerge from the brokered convention in Cleveland as the GOP nominee. Rich people seem to know everything . . . insider information.

Could explain why Kasich is ramping up the amnesty talk right about now. Letting those on the top know under no uncertain terms that he's on board.


I know there's a 50/50 chance you're just being sarcastic but it is odd that he would pick now to shine a spotlight on his stance on amnesty, right when it could hurt him the most.

Trump actually has a pretty small operation and that's why he didn't know about it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him talk about it today, since it's more in the "news". I don't know what day OpenSecrets updated the FEC filings from the quarter that just ended.

If I were a janitor employed by Soros Fund management and bought a Kasich T-Shirt for $25, that counts as a "donation from Soros Fund Management" on the list you provided.

Wow, that's quite the stretch.

This pretty much shows how much the lines have blurred. There needs to be campaign finance reform.

At $2.50 per shirt (the lowest I found online)...235,200 shirts. That's a lot of shirts.

Kasich lost me months ago when I saw this video from back in 2011. :
