ā¦ the lionās share of confirmed contributions from the biggest political giversāthe top 100 familiesāhave flowed to Republican candidates and groups.
In the āhard moneyā categoryādirect donations to candidates, which federal law caps at modest sumsāRepublicans took in 27 percent more from the Top 100 families than Democrats did ($85.9 million vs. $67.9 million).
But looking at all federal contributions, including āsoft money,ā a category that tallies the generous donations allowed to party committees and the unrestricted contributions to SuperPACs, Republicans raked in a whopping $508 million from the Top 100ātriple the Democratsā $169 million take.

Nope. The rich are greedy and Iām just saying that not all of them think Trump is smart investment.
