In the era where they refuse to accept their irrelevance, billionaires and their political money are easy parted. So goes the game of grift amid the professional political class when contrast against the power of We The People. It’s actually quite funny to watch and doesn’t annoy me one bit.
Charles Koch, a man of notorious disposition who loves open borders and multinational trade – which puts him on the outside of the America First movement, had previously pledged to spend $70 million (through his American’s For Prosperity political action committee) to remove President Trump. Today, Charles Koch selected Nikki Haley over Ron DeSantis

A fool and his money… The first paragraph illustrates why Nikki will never be elected. His/her platform is antithetical to the pro America movement. Koch boys are as tone deaf as the Bushies.

Fox News has also selected Nikki. She’s “surging” from 10% to 11% in the polls. Don’t forget the Koch brothers gave us Bob Dole, Mittens Mcdemocrat, W,… No way will I vote for Nikki Haley. She is a snake and a war monger.

$70m flushed down the drain. My vote was locked in 1/20/21.
Their dirty money can't change anything.

Now all she needs is an endorsement from W, Pence, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and Mike Pence to seal the deal!

I made this point yesterday. It is entities like this that take away the individual vote from average, everyday American citizens. When big money comes into play, they EXPECT to win at all costs. I would like to see something done about all of this big money being thrown around in elections. It really said something to me, in 2016, when I found out that Donald Trump was financing his own campaign. I would love to see some kind of reform with all of this money buying elections.

How do these mega wealthy guys acquire so much money when clearly they cannot read a room. Only the Rinos want Haley. What makes up a Rino? Simply an arrogant fool desperately clinging to 1950’s style politics. They want the country club Republican Party with them at the top of the heap and everyone else that actually votes scampering around waiting for crumbs to fall from their lofty tables. They see the working class as vulgar and unworthy of their notice except when queuing up on Election Day. The policies they champion are merely ways to make themselves richer. Their thinking dwells in the underbelly of elitism and the rest of us are not in that club. Ronald Reagan got it and actually thought about the middle class and Donald Trump actually embraces us because he knows our worth. For Rinos we are an annoying necessity they must deal with, but they do not like it. In fact, they loathe us. Trump has broken their hold on the Republican Party and we must continue to support him if we ever have a desire to make our voices heard. He understands what the Rinos never will and that is without the base, they are nothing. Now that DeSaintis has crashed and burned, they turn their rheumy eyes on Nikki Haley who is all too eager to jump at their beck and call. No thanks. Trump 2024!

Desantis is one dumb SOB. He was never meant to be the nominee or the President. They set out to destroy him right before his eyes. They knew they couldn’t afford to have him support Trump and be on the Trump ticket. Such a dumb narcissist, he actually thought the establishment wanted him.

The 'vessel' is quite leaky. Will not hold water for long. A fool and his money, as Shakespeare put it, are soon parted.

I'm nowhere near worth 52 billion dollars like Charlie Koch. I'm just an ordinary God fearing, gun owning, tax paying, law enforcement supporting, non-smoking, moderate alcohol using, meat and potatoes eating, dog and cat loving, self-defense training, twenty-year Navy veteran Black Christian country boy from the hills of West Virgina. I'm a peaceful man love my fellow Americans and help when I can. I gave my mind body and soul to defend our great nation against ALL enemies foreign and domestic. I cannot and will not support a person in the mold of a Namrata Nikki Haley for President of the United States. Therefore, I will double the efforts put forth in 2016 and 2020 and will do all I can to make sure that Donald John Trump is put back in our White House. Our Republic depends on it. Have a great morning everyone.

$70 million isn’t going to buy Nikki the nomination - even if they spent it paying people to vote for her. The Koch brothers think their money makes them King (Queen) makers. The voters have a different opinion.

The Kochs have been running nonstop commercials on the old people streaming channels. The ads don't endorse anyone. Instead, they feature 'normal' Americans sitting around and proclaiming they won't support Trump because he's just too much trouble. Trying to take Trump down without proposing any comparable alternative is just parasitic behavior!

I live in SC and I predict that she will lose the primary in her own state.

Nothing sadder than a rich man throwing his money around to make a point....he really hates President Trump...and he's found a pigeon to carry his water....poor Nicki doesn't have a clue as to how she's being played...well... at least she'll have plenty of money in her accounts....

But what if Trump "dies suddenly"?
Perhaps some of the money being spent is betting fiercely on that contingent.

I would gladly fill her vessel but I will vote for a real President, a man who has a record of success and courage.
A man who supported America and did what was right despite the harassment and bad faith by other republicans.

The GOPe doesn’t have that kind of power anymore. They look at the democrats and think that because their voters can easily bought, that the Republican base can be, too. If that were ever true, it’s no longer true. If the RNC wants to imitate DNC behavior, get in the ballot harvesting game in the general election. It would be a lot more fruitfull.

The sales pitch for female politicians was: they bring empathy, a maternal instinct, they seek consensus rather than confrontation.
The reality of female politicians has been: thin-skinned, vindictive, quick to anger, hold grudges forever, easily distracted from the issue at hand by playing a game of one-up, shrill, believe 'wife & mother' is a qualification for office.
Party, age, location, office really hasn't mattered. They just cannot get over the cattiness.

They call their org conservative & they believe in OPEN BORDERS? Multinational trade is not the issue -NOT SECURING OUR BORDERS is a HUGE issue! If I had ever entertained the idea of voting for her that just sealed the deal that I won't.

When Trump beats Nikki in SC the Koch Bros will be able to say.
It's Trump's fault!
