Trump Donations to Republicans and Democrats Differ by Less than $10,000

The Note:
"Republican presidential hopeful and Tea Party darling Donald Trump may be flirting with a run for President as a Republican, but he has not discriminated with his political donations in the past 15 years.

An ABC News analysis of Trump’s various federal campaign contributions to political action committees, soft money and joint fundraising yielded very close results between Democratic and Republican donations. Between 1997 and 2011, Trump donated $280,100 to Republican candidates and related PACs and $270,200 to Democrats and Dem-backed PACs. Still, Trump donated more to Republicans than Democrats in soft money and joint fundraising."
