Trump donors angry, want their money back after lewd tape leak

[highplainsdem]

Source: CBS News

Donors to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign have become skittish -- with some downright angry -- after a 2005 tape surfaced Friday in which the GOP nominee can be heard making vulgar remarks about women.

A prominent Trump bundler told CBS News that he “could not tell you how many” calls he’s gotten from donors in the course of the last day. After the Washington Post first published the tape, people want their money back, he said. (The Republican party and the campaign’s fundraising apparatus is not returning donations.)

According to the bundler, donors said they feel betrayed by Trump -- that their efforts have been a waste. Some said they would like to see Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate and the governor of Indiana, at the top of the ticket, though the means of achieving such a switch aren’t clear.

join the ranks of investors, plumbers, cabinet makers, and others who the creep has stiffed. Hope they enjoy it.

[Scurrilous]

2. Good luck w/ that suckers.

[Cha]

7. Really. trump doesn't even pay his employees.

[handmade34]

3. meh...

any thinking person has known from day one what Trump was about

none of this is new... and as for Pence... what one commentator has said "Trump only wants to violate 1 woman at a time (well maybe 2) but Pence wants to control and violate all of us women"

[sheshe2]

4. Boom.

You are correct!

[workinclasszero]

20. The villagers always thought the had the Trump monster

under control.

Nope.

[klook]

30. I heard Cecile Richards say something like that last night

-- although others may be saying similar.

Very true, and a great reminder of the systematic medievalism that Pence represents.

[sheshe2]

5. Trump donors

are as bad or worse than Trump. They are enablers. Fuck them.

[TrogL]

6. The money is gone

The campaign is broke. They cancelled TV spots in battleground states that they got at a cheap rate. To rebook them will triple the cost so it must be serious.

[DK504]

8. Really?

"...that their efforts have been a waste."

LOL... oh my god, now they think it's a waste? They are just realizing what a piece of garbage the Dumpster. WOW. I've known 10 year old's that are smarter.

9. Those Trump statues are going to be collector's items

10. Wasn't Trump going to self-fund?

The 'donors' were merely investing for the future and now they don't like the newer anticipated returns.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

37. Yeah it turns out "self funded" means he loaned himself the money and is probably...

.... paying himself, and trump catering, and trump airline, and trump hotels back before the whole operation goes belly up.

Everybody else gets stuck holding the bag. As per usual.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. Ha! A lot of people want money back from Trump! Get in line! Suckers!!!

[Zambero]

34. Sorry suckers

It's gone into a gigantic black hole, never to be seen again, and never to influence a single vote.

[Raine]

13. Dumb asses made a bad investment, you don't get your money back! nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. How about settling for .10 on a dollar?

- as in bankruptcy.

[elmac]

15. Buyer's remorse

[hibbing]

16. caveat emptor n/t

[Liberal Veteran]

17. Now they know how the Trump University plaintiffs feel. -nt

54. Reminds me of this classic news story from last year.

26. No sympathy whatsoever.

If you invest in bad stock, don't whine when it tanks.

[SusanCalvin]

27. They knew, or should have known, what he was. nt

[IrishEyes]

29. A fool and his money are soon parted

Usually, I feel sorry for someone taken in by a con artist. He was so blatant about who he was. He showed that he was a racist, sexist crook over and over again. They sent him money after hearing the horrible things that he has been saying this whole election. Of course, they don't have a chance in hell of seeing a penny of the money.

[Zambero]

31. Anti-lewd Trump donors want their birther bucks back!

I mean, these folks have to stand for SOMETHING, don't they???

[Nitram]

32. Boo hoo, we want Mike Pence! Sorry fools, too late to introduce a new candidate for...

president in some states. Not to mention the fact that no candidate could win if introduced at this point in the election. Please consider how far you've strayed from the path of righteousness and reflect on your sins of pride, anger, hatred, and mendacity.

[Vogon_Glory]

33. Let The Buyer Beware: Caveat Emptor, Suckers!

Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer beware!

I have zero sympathies for the right-wingers and Republicans who poured big bucks into Thump's campaign during and after primary season. They had months of time to study their candidate and more than ample warning about his character and behavior, at least if they looked outside the right-wing bubble.

So now they want their money back. Well, boo hoo!

As far as I' m concerned, they blew their money and bought a toad. It's now early October: this is long past the thirty-day trial period and the free refund. They're stuck with him.

Tough kibbles!

[MADem]

35. Buyer's remorse from a cadre of nitwits. Seriously, they're SURPRISED?

They bought it--he's theirs.

[They_Live]

36. They own this mess.

Suckers.

[Missn-Hitch]

38. Outstanding! Great posts from everyone. I cracked a few smiles.

[Upthevibe]

40. ABSOLUTELY NO sympathy for those who got us into this situation in the first f'in' place! n/t

[ooky]

41. They should just be glad

he didn't get their social security.

[LynneSin]

42. You have to carry this baby full term

Just saying

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. So many suckers, rich ones too, oblivious to Don's con that we saw miles away months ago. . nt

[awoke_in_2003]

46. I have more Sympathy For the Devil

at least that was a great song.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

47. So, it sounds like they themselves don't mind what Trump said,

they just see now that decent people object and therefore he won't win.

No sympathy for these enablers.

[LiberalLovinLug]

48. ha ha ha ha

[madokie]

49. I've known a few people like tRump

once they get your money in their hands its next to impossible to ever get it back. No matter what it was for or how hard you work at it it ain't going to happen. Most everyone knows people like this and I'm surprised that the people who gave him money didn't know this going in. f'm and the money they gave. At first the money they gave was to short change the rest of us with their vision of how they want things to be so this is fair play. IMO

tRump is a sorry ass, no good, crooked mofo' of the worst kind and should be shunned by everyone everywhere and you can bet that if there was some way that he was to become the pResident of these United States of America the whole world would revolt against us big time. For the few days he is the pResident this country would be in turmoil like we've never ever seen before, nor likely will ever see in the future.

I'm totally and completely surprised that he has any supporters anywhere at all.

What this country needs now is a Woman President like Hillary Clinton. She's been fucked with by the rightwing pukes for so long she has no more fucks to give

After her 8 years we need to elect a Hispanic or Native American Preisident, male or female. My hope would be to live to see that day

[Shankapotomus]

50. Why?

Did they pay to see skin and were disappointed?

[Vinca]

51. Sorry, folks. "The Donald" has been shipping your money to his various businesses

(jet rental, venue rental, etc., etc., etc.) and the checks have cleared. But he thanks you.

[get the red out]

53. My dog threw up

After gobbling up a treat I bought her. At least I didn't know it would be disagreeable, these doners could have done their homework. My male dog enjoyed the treats and was fine with them. The majority of Trump's base has an iron stomach too.
