The boogeyman attack that they will use regardless of whether Soros actually donates or not? And wait/hope that grassroots donations will fill the void? That's political suicide.

I'm also pretty sure the campaign is happy to take the $$.

Agree 100% crimycarny Sep 20 #16

I'd love ANY donations, large or otherwise, from any other source AZJonnie Sep 20 #17

If the campaign takes the money then they disagree with your position FrankBooth Sep 20 #18
