Good thing they don't demand that of voters that might vote in their primaries.
Voters aren't smart enough to get it right.

Taken in context, I believe that the point is that when someone sends sums of money large enough to influence your ability to stage a viable campaign, or not be able to do so if the money is withheld, like a grand total of 3 donors providing the $750K that Eric Bassler used to steamroll John Waterman in the last state senate primary, can be said to own the candidate they bought. This is an entirely different phenomenon than people chipping in $5 and feeling like they are part of the team.

The context I intended was that what made Trump's candidacy masterfully perfect was the part about him being self-made, financing his own campaign, too rich to be influenced by big money. Then he says, we'll, okay, ya, I'm rich, but I'll start taking donations--but only from poor people. If the consequences weren't so serious, I'd be laughing my ass off. And the Trumpites just excuse it away, "well, at least he's not taking big money." WTF?
As much as I want to laugh, I just hate seeing poor people bilked out of their hard earned dollars by a rich phony. Not that he's as rich as he claims. He's worth only ~1/10 of that. Which is still a lot by most people's standards. But he needs the illusion of that kind of wealth to pull off the con.
Proof of this is the current POTUS

It is most likely also the reason why Ike never had an actual combat command in his career.
Anyway, on to what I was originally going to post:
I believe that this may give Fiorina a bit of difficulty with some of the voters to whom she wishes to appeal.

Well, if you are truly known by the company you keep then the Trumpsters should be ecstatic. They and their would be political messiah have received the coveted David Duke endorsement. And Trump hasn't bothered to disavow the racists that have been shouting White Power at his events or the followers who beat up and peed on a guy in his name, (he just said they were "passionate"). Clearly he is the best the gop can run.

Amusing the digging some will do to attempt a smear, as opposed to advertising and promoting their better alternative.
Obviously I'm not a fan of Trump. And though I'm not surprised that David Duke would endorse Trump, but Trump's fitness for office does not hinge on the quality of his supporters.
What digging? It was front page news and Duke released a statement to his klan followers and the press. They like what Trump's all about. The klan digs the tools message.
