Trump’s new finance chief donates 2x more to Democrats than Republicans

Researching November’s Democratic primary: The man Donald Trump just appointed as his finance chairman routinely donates twice as much to Democrats than he does to Republicans, and has deep ties with the Democratic Party’s most liberal wing.

Beyond his contributions, Mnuchin’s past employers don’t fall in line with Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail. Mnuchin is a former Goldman Sachs partner and worked for liberal mega-donor George Soros’s hedge fund. He also contributed to a group called America Coming Together, which was largely funded by Soros and unions.

But don’t worry. We now have two candidates who will fix Obamacare and make sure the foreign policy of the United States is run by the same people that have been doing it for the past eight years.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    “Mnuchin is a former Goldman Sachs partner and worked for liberal mega-donor George Soros’s hedge fund.”

    This can’t be! I was assured that Trump was an anti-establishment candidate and told in the comment section of this very blog that if a candidate had anyone from Goldman Sachs even associated with him that the candidate was establishment.

    It feels almost as though I’ve been lied to.

    These are the “usual suspects” to which I refer!

    Didn’t take long did it….

    Past eight years? I’ll bite my tongue on that one.

    Without question, Cruz was the most vocal opponent of Obamacare – but how was his foreign policy going to be different? I keep hearing Obama has been weak on defense; it seems to me he’s hellbent on provoking the Russians and working with the most shady and underhanded characters in the middle east. Cruz’s VP selection wouldn’t even talk to Putin. What is that!?

    I’ve listened to John Batchelor for several years now – that’s how I first became aware of this site (which I greatly enjoy, btw). I actually agree, in particular, with the things professor Stephen Cohen has to say; perhaps I missed it, but I didn’t hear Cruz offer any serious departures from the (RINO) status quo in this regard – and making the sand glow is not a solution.

    I don’t like the options either. Politics seems to be a game where even the winners are losers.
