The Republican cabal hopefuls will be attending the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce (a Koch umbrella group) event, in the hopes of courting mega-donors like David and Charles Koch, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, and hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer.
The Freedom Partners held a previous event in January of 2015, where the donors were impressed by Rubio’s performance, but turned off by Paul’s speech
as well as his attire. Paul wore a blazer, blue jeans and cowboy boots,
which apparently was too casual for the stuffy billionaires’ club.
The Kentucky moron has not committed to attending
the August gathering, leaving the groveling opportunities for fellow
Republican idiots Cruz and Rubio, as well as Walker and Jeb. The Koch brothers have pledged to spend an obscene 889
million dollars during the 2016 election cycle, so Republican cabal candidates are
falling all over themselves trying to demonstrate their fealty to the
Kochs and other wealthy mega-donors.
Notably, the Kochs did not extend invitations to
populist demagogue Trump, or to religious fundamentalists Huckabee and Santorum. The billionaire puppet masters probably fear
that Trump is too hard to control. Huckabee and Santorum are perceived
as being too invested in divisive social issues to focus the proper
attention on aggressively promoting the Kochs’ economic agenda.
How
each candidate plans to appeal to the billionaires in attendance
remains to be seen. However, for the millions of Americans who aren’t
super wealthy, the very fact that many of the leading Republicans
candidates are spending so much effort courting billionaires, should be
reason enough for concern.
