The funders of a large anti-Trump Super Pac has been revealed, and the money seems to be coming — largely — from one person.
A single billionaire provided the lion’s share of the money to the main Republican super-PAC set up to destroy Donald Trump.
Marlene Ricketts, the matriarch of the Ricketts family that owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team, contributed $3 million to the anti-Trump super-PAC “Our Principles PAC,” which is being run by former Mitt Romney adviser Katie Packer.
The super-PAC has spent more than $4 million running attack ads against the GOP front-runner in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. It is the only serious anti-Trump group to date in a campaign cycle in which Republicans have been reluctant to take on their front-runner.
Until now, the identities of the donors funding Our Principles PAC had been kept secret, fueling the rumor mill in Washington. But the Federal Election Commission reveals that almost all the money came from Ricketts. The donor’s identity was first reported by The New York Times.
Now that we know who it is that’s been attacking Trump, Marlene might best go into hiding. One does not enter a battle with Trump and exit unscathed.
Trump came out with a Tweet that indicated he has knowledge of Rickett family skeletons, and that he isn’t afraid to bring them out of the closet:
Apparently, the Ricketts don’t have the same dirt on Trump as he has on them, or we certainly would have heard about it by now.

Screw these rich people that have ruined this country. TRUMP 2016
and its our tax money that subsidizes these teams and then they spend it on politics.
He is nothing but a bully!
I have been seeing a lot of “republicans” bashing Trump as he gets closer and closer to being the candidate, I think it’s shameful that a bunch of has beens are taking money and whoring themselves to trash someone without any evidence or reason. Mitt is obviously classless for accepting funds for this, looks like all the politicians stick together in the end republicans and democrats alike. They must have a lot to hide!! worried that Trump will expose them, good luck Mr. Trump ,that is a lot of money and a lot of Washington club members to face all alone, play them aces and put em on their faces.
