This is a post for the DUers who predicted that Adelson wouldn't spend a dime on Trump.

Sheldon Adelson: I endorse Donald Trump for president

While the primary cycle still has some important elections ahead, it is clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.

I am endorsing Trump’s bid for president and strongly encourage my fellow Republicans — especially our Republican elected officials, party loyalists and operatives, and those who provide important financial backing — to do the same.

The alternative to Trump being sworn in as the nation’s 45th president is frightening.

For nearly eight years, Republicans have fought tooth and nail against President Obama and his policies. We waged battles over debt, government spending, Obamacare and the Iran nuclear deal — an issue of paramount importance to me personally and to many others around the world.

...apparently so I could look back in shame when Adelson kept his checkbook in the drawer.

This has been clear for a long time...Adelson sat it out, and the minute Trump became the "presumptive nominee," voila...the love letter from Uncle Sheldon.

This will be the first election where the winner was the one who could cheat best.

Corrupt candidates, money, power, rigging elections, this has got it all.
