When Republican worry about losing seats in November and scapegoat Donald Trump as the reason, it is a lie. The reason seats are lost by either party is because they are tied to the favors and service they provide for donors.
The only corruption that can be linked to Donald Trump is what he has embarked on for his benefit. He is self funded through the primary. He is off to a good start.

This year the Republican and Democratic (click here) nominating conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia will be bankrolled entirely with money from corporations and wealthy individuals. Not since the Watergate era, when a $400,000 pledge to the 1972 Republican convention from ITT Corporation was linked to a favorable outcome for the company in a federal antitrust decision, has this happened.
Industries with business before the federal government have long found opening their checkbooks for the conventions to be one of the most efficient means for influencing an incoming administration and Congress in one quick action....
This is corruption in a very big way. Citigroup took advantage of a bill that had to be passed to avert a government shutdown. Citigroup and US Representative Randy Hultgren played brinkmanship with the lawful stability of the USA economy.

Update Friday, December 12, 2014: (click here) On Thursday night, the House passed the spending bill with the Citigroup-written provision. The Senate is expected to approve the legislation.
A year ago, Mother Jones reported that a House bill that would allow banks like Citigroup to do more high-risk trading with taxpayer-backed money was written almost entirely by Citigroup lobbyists. The bill passed the House in October 2013, but the Senate never voted on it. For months, it was all but dead. Yet on Tuesday night, the Citi-written bill resurfaced. Lawmakers snuck the measure into a massive 11th-hour government funding bill that congressional leaders negotiated in the hopes of averting a government shutdown. President Barack Obama is expected to sign the legislation.
"This is outrageous," says Marcus Stanley, the financial policy director at the advocacy group Americans for Financial Reform. "This is to benefit big banks, bottom line."...
US Rep. Randy Hultgren (click here) is from Illinois. His top donor to his 2013-2014 campaign was a company called Huizenga Holdings from South Florida. Randy Hultgren is corrupt to the core. But, he pretends to be a dream come true conservationist because of an internet page featuring "The Cougar Fund" (click here).
He should have been brought up on ethics violations and an investigation in case of further wrong doing as if this isn't enough.
Huizenga Holdings, Inc. (click here) operates as an investment and entertainment conglomerate that owns and manages marinas and yacht-related companies in Florida. The company develops and manages residential and commercial properties throughout Florida. Additionally, the company also owns the Miami Dolphins football team and Dolphins Stadium in South Florida. Huizenga Holdings, Inc. was formerly known as Waco Services, Inc. and changed its name to Huizenga Holdings, Inc. in June 1988. The company founded in 1984 and is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida....
