Donald Trump's campaign contributions to Democrats and Republicans....
The alleged claims made by conservative author Ben Ferguson don't match the figures.....
I actually checked and Clinton got far less than most over the course of her Senate campaigns, amounting to around 10k (there were a couple - (neg) donations (perhaps returned money) and that included her primary. Trump gave to a variety of people including Democrats from other states including the Kennedy's...the number to Republicans and many in other states far outweighed Democrats.
