Conservative Treehouse version of Donald Sterling vs. Reality

The OpenSecrets records show a $1,000 donation to Bill Bradley on Nov. 30, 1989, another $1,000 donation to Bill Bradley on November 30, 1989 [Hmmm!], a $1,000 donation to Patrick Leahy on September 9, 1991, and a $1,000 donation to Gray Davis on September 27, 1991.

That adds up to $4,000 (assuming the two identical Bradley donations are actually separate donations and not the same donation turning up twice)

[…]

1. The claim that Sterling is a “Democratic fundraiser” appears entirely unsupported.

2. The claim that Sterling is a Democratic contributor appears also to be false; a correct claim would be that 22 years ago Sterling was a Democratic contributor. (Since then he has been even-handed in donating an identical amount of $0 to both parties).

3. As for the claim that Sterling is a Democrat, the Conservative Treehouse article you cited does not make that claim. (The Daily Caller article which the Conservative Treehouse cites also fails to make that claim.).
