Hillary Clinton and Trump

: Because it such a relatively small sample -- a tiny sliver compared with Hillary Clinton nearly 29,000 maxed-out donors -- it impossible to reach broad conclusions about Trump benefactors, according to CTV. Still, these are arguably the most loyal of Trump fans, and their interviews with The Associated Press reveal unexpected layers of the political newcomer appeal. The leader of the Republican presidential contest ridicules donors and insists he is a billionaire who wants to "self-fund." Yet there a prominent "donate" button on his campaign website, and he has raised more than $9.5 million, including from about 200 people who have given $2,700, the maximum allowed by law for the primary election. They're both attracted and repelled by Trump inflammatory comments. And far from being embarrassed by their candidate, the donors seem to love converting their friends and associates to the cause. Just like the thousands who attend Trump massive rallies, these well-off fans want dramatic change and see Trump as the only person capable of making it happen. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
