      Nope. The rich are greedy and Iā€™m just saying that not all of them think Trump is smart investment.

        ā€¦ the lionā€™s share of confirmed contributions from the biggest political giversā€”the top 100 familiesā€”have flowed to Republican candidates and groups.

        In the ā€œhard moneyā€ categoryā€”direct donations to candidates, which federal law caps at modest sumsā€”Republicans 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 ā€œsoft 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 100ā€”triple the Democratsā€™ $169 million take.
