Two of the most prominent and influential megadonors in the Republican Party reportedly have picked their man in the 2016 presidential race: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).
According to The New York Times, David Koch told a Monday gathering of GOP donors that he and his fellow billionaire brother, Charles Koch, want Walker in the White House.
"We will support whoever the candidate is," Koch said at the Manhattan event, according to Times reporter Nick Confessore's sources. "But it should be Scott Walker."
The Koch brothers are two of the most free-spending donors in American politics, and they have a vast network of rich allies to help fund their various political organizations. Indeed, they reportedly plan on spending close to $1 billion in 2016, and liberals have long sought to make them the face of a broken campaign finance system.

Now it's gotten interesting. Mrs. Cruz is a VP at Goldman and the Koch brothers are backing Walker.
The primaries could be very expensive. Expensive enough to thin the herd in short order.

Koch support could be his “kiss of death.”
The MSM will go wild with this.

The Koch bros. are pro-abort, pro-gay libertarians.
They know quite well that Walker won’t do anything real to stop abortion or protect marriage.
Birds of a feather.

Oh well. My pockets aren't as deep, but I'll keep giving my money and time to Cruz. I've chosen. I'll vote for a conservative or skip that spot in the ticket.
Cruz or lose.

Even billionaires can be wrong, and they are.
At least they didn’t back Bush.

Mrs Cruz is on leave for the duration during the election and after, should Cruz win.
You need to get your facts right, and quit spreading mis-information.

I stand by my comment.
He supports legislation that in effect ends with “and then you can kill the baby.”
Legislation that surrenders the only real moral, constitutional, and legal arguments against abortion on demand, thereby assuring its continuation.
So what do people the Koch brothers care? His “pro-life” stands doesn’t actually mean anything.

I hope the first one to drop out is John Ellis Bush.
Followed by Christie, if he decides to run.
