Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump suggested Monday that the billionaire Ricketts family should "be careful." "I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me," Trump tweeted. "They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!" It's not a secret, but one member of the Ricketts family has indeed been quietly donating money to the anti-Trump super PAC called Our Principles. Marlene Ricketts gave a total $3 million. Marlene is the wife of T.D. Ameritrade founder J. Joe Ricketts. USA Today noted that she has also given money to super PACs that backed Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. Those donations of $10,000 each were made last year. Several of those candidates for the Republican presidential nomination have since dropped out of the race. The Our Principles PAC has attacked Trump on his positions on universal healthcare, gun control, and abortion. There are more than a dozen anti-Trump ads on its YouTube page. Here's one such ad:

I really like the ad; it tells it like it is and was. No wonder Trump has his panties all wound up.
I like a man who goes out, identifies his enemies, warns them and then attacks them.
Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait until someone starts exposing his business dealings with prominent Dims,and his head will be exploding. I do admit to looking forward to that one. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Who CARES? He's a businessman. Businessmen do not impose litmus tests on the counterparties with whom they do business. They do business with whomever will make them money. Trump builds projects in deep blue states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California. OF COURSE he gets along with Democrat politicians and wealthy Democrats. If he didn't, he wouldn't get anything built. Do you think that Trump voters are so stupid that we will hold the fact that he deals with Democrats IN BUSINESS as a reason to reject his candidacy? Seriously? If Trump DIDN'T do business with Democrats, all the time, there would be no Trump towers, no Trump casinos, he wouldn't have $5 billion and a series of bestsellers and a number one TV show. Business is not a members-only club. You make deals with whomever you can make deals, for your mutual benefit. The Koch Brothers are big time Republican donors. You think they refuse to sell oil to Europeans because they're socialists, or to Communist China, or to the US government when Democrats are running it? Of course they sell the oil! What sort of idiot refuses to engage in commerce with somebody because he's of a different political stripe? "You're a DEMOCRAT? Get the hell out of my grocery store!" Seriously? I cc'd Stone on this because he's a Trump supporter too, of a very different stripe than me. But I assure you that neither one of us cares, at all, not even a tiny little bit, that a lifelong BUSINESSMAN did big BUSINESS deals with people of WHATEVER political stripe. Should we not have sold WHEAT to the Soviet Union? That was a business deal too, and very good for US agriculture. Nobody is going to care that Trump did business with Democrats. If you own a gas station, nobody cares if you sell gasoline to Nazis, KKK members, Communists, child molesters or saints. You're selling something in business, not distributing communion. You're looking forward to something that isn't going to happen. Trump made deals with DEMOCRATS...to build apartment buildings. OH the freakin' HORROR! Seriously?
Thank you for the post of uncommon sense. I'm beginning to have some faith in you. Now don't betray it.
Trump knocked Lindsey Graham out with a thimble. Ha! I am certain to disappoint you. (But maybe not tonight.)
"knocked out"? Are you sure she didn't just get the vapors and faint from that? ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Off topic but, this might be of interest to you.
Jesus! He went through all that and still lived to be 87! He just have been a tough old bird.
