A super PAC supporting Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign raised $2.5 million in January, including $1 million from tech billionaire Larry Ellison, according to a report filed Saturday with the Federal Election Commission.
The donation from Ellison, the executive chairman of Oracle Corporation, brings his total spending on behalf of Rubio to $4 million, making him among the top donors of the 2016 cycle.
Conservative Solutions PAC spent nearly $11 million last month, mostly on ads and direct mail attacking Rubio’s rival for the Republican presidential nomination Ted Cruz and his former rival Chris Christie, who has since dropped out.
The PAC finished January with $5.6 million in the bank, though it has continued spending heavily since then, dropping $9.6 million on ads opposing Cruz, John Kasich and Jeb Bush, according to daily advertising filings.

There are probably 50,000 H-1b's there now, making $30-$50/hr without benefits.
For jobs that would normally cost them twice that if the workers were American.
Rubio = Money Pit.
LOL... Robot is the new Jeb! Bottomless money pit ..
Mariner...you stole my thoughts exactly...rub will do anything for
$$$$$$$
lol the political class doesnt realize this puts a target on their back
Good point on Ellison. It’s all about cheap labor to him. He wants to see his name higher on Forbes list of billionaires just to feed his ego. The the way to get higher on the list is cheap labor.
Tech billionaires are the type that now control the Chamber of Commerce. They’re the cheap labor express and they support GOPe boy Rubio.
Rubio is the new Jeb.
ALL of the establishment money will be coming his way.
He should offer Katich the VP slot to drop out and endorse him.
Grrr
Oh well, its not like he will expect anything in return...

Only slightly better than getting a million dollars from Larry Flynt.
Like a kangaroo court, the kangaroo media takes out candidates they dislike and elevates their favorites. Fox News is for Kangaroo-B.O. The fight is not over.
As for superPACs, I don’t care. At least there are more voices than just the vile media.
The spice must flow.
I would just like to say that the America’s Cup catamarans were wicked awesome!

Unreal to me after 8 years of Obama so many Republicans want to elect another friggin junior Senator..unreal..they guy has never done anything except try to sell out american workers and the border agents
The Rube is a lazy non-Constitutionalist, bought and paid for K-Street Patsy.
Elections are for sale.
PAC money trumps what average voters are able to give.
Politicians don’t even think about doing favors for 100,000 people who donate $10 each but a man or organization that donates $1,000,000 or more expects a quid pro quo.
And gets it.
$1M will buy a lot of foam.
