For some wealthy donors, it doesn’t matter who takes the White House in 2016—as long as the president’s name is Clinton or Bush. More than 60 ultra-rich Americans have contributed to both Jeb Bush’s and Hillary Clinton’s federal campaigns, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission data by Vocativ and The Daily Beast. Seventeen of those contributors have gone one step further and opened their wallets to fund both Bush’s and Clinton’s 2016 ambitions. After all, why support just Hillary Clinton or just Jeb Bush when you can hedge your bets and donate to both? This seems to be the thinking of a group of powerful men and women—racetrack owners, bankers, media barons, chicken magnates, hedge funders (and their spouses). Some of them have net worths that can eclipse the GDPs of small countries.

Silly people. Do they really think they can buy their way into the Ruling Class with such a small entry fee?
5 gave more to the Republicans. 4 gave more to the Democrats. The other 8 gave the same to both.
I know there's probably an explanation of how this is different than paying protection money to the Mob. Darned if I know what it is, though . . .
Darned if I know what it is, though . . . The difference, for the really bigwigs, is that the politicians are merely the capos. The mega-donors are themselves the godfathers. So, while politicians appear to US to be the men in charge, they are really merely the enforcement agents of the will o the man behind them.
Donald Trump's name HAS to be on that list. The above sentence states an absolute truth that at least half of the voters in this country refuse to recognize because they are still in the "team spirit/MY team is gonna win,making ME a winner too for voting for them!" mindset. We are and have been a 1 Party Nation ever since that evil bastard Poppy Bush was elected,with one brief respite when Newt Gingrich led an actual Republican Political Revolution and took control of Washington DC back in the hands of the people. And we all saw what happened to him and the others that supported him,didn't we? 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)
