I though most people attending political fundraisers gave money through their businesses.

I would cast my vote for Rubio or kasic but definitely hell no for Trump. Even though it's part of his agreement with the RNC to fundraise, it's funny that a billionaire is asking money from millionaires.

Just what we need, a billionaire salesman with zero government experience running the country.
I'm sure he's going to be "The people's warrior" against high cost of higher education and high cost of health care.

And career politicians are doing a better job?

we've had a community organizer with zero private sector experience running it for the past seven years. Nothing could be worse than that.

He was probably busy practicing the words: You're fired!

"Here comes the most dignified, intelligent and thoughtful American president of modern times. He arrives as a reminder that amid Tea Party craziness and Trumpery, hysterical slanders, racist smears and savage politics, a man can not just survive and thrive, but walk tall without descending into the gutter with his opponents." - The Guardian

Have you taken any note of the results, before observing that "nothing could be worse"? The country is far better off after seven years with Obama. By any measure.

I don't understand how people are buying into the talking points that enforcing immigration law makes someone a racist bigot. Obviously there are some big money groups pushing this to keep the status quo in place. Why certain lobby groups want the illegal Mexicans in here for cheap labor I totally get. What I don't get is why they are fighting so hard to bring in millions of Muslims. Who does that benefit?
