"...Now Donald Trump's Betrayal Is Complete..."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...story.html
Donald Trump has now abandoned his previous pledges to avoid accepting donations from billionaires. He has today (according to the Washington Post and NPR) formed super pacs with the RNC to accept donations of upwards of $400,000 for his campaign (money to be shared with other Republicans). If you are one of the millions of people that believed Trump (back in 2015) when he pledged not to use super-pacs and called for all the other candidates to do the same, and return all the donations, you are now clearly seeing what will inevitably be a long downhill slide from one of the few solidly good populist ideas that Trump's been (as it turns out, hypocritically) pushing.
As the Republicans remake Trump in their image, I expect more such betrayals.
