Close to Half of All Super PAC Money Comes from 50 Donors
(Washington Post) – A small core of super-rich individuals is responsible for the record sums cascading into the coffers of super PACs for the 2016 elections, a dynamic that harks back to the financing of presidential campaigns in the Gilded Age.
Close to half of the money — 41 percent — raised by the groups by the end of February came from just 50 mega-donors and their relatives, according to a Washington Post analysis of federal campaign finance reports. Thirty-six of those are Republican supporters who have invested millions trying to shape the GOP nomination contest.
In all, donors this cycle have given more than $607 million to 2,300 super PACs, which can accept unlimited contributions from individuals and corporations. That means super PAC money is on track to surpass the $828 million that the Center for Responsive Politics found was raised by such groups for the 2012 elections.

With only 50 major donors I assume the election is bought off by just few people and what we do and think makes no difference, at least in other elections where the people didn’t rise up due to a Trump in the race.

I guess they call it an investment. I think that is much of the issue with Ryan, all the donors are nervous telling him they are weary and not feeling generous.

This time it was a bad investment. And the are probably crying over their lost money now. Ha, ha, yeah the donors are most likely not wanting to invest in Ryan and with this latest hoopla by Ryan, even more so.

Oh I bet he is padding his coffers and his house buddies are probably raising money to take out or co-opt Trump. But the latter isn’t happening so they’ll raise money to oppose him. (I’m sure Ryan’s gang wants a piece of what #NeverTrump is raising) Big donors have queasy stomachs about pouring (more) money in, IMO..

That sounds like a creepy scenario. I hate to think of what Trump will have to put up with if he becomes prez.
