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.

Wisconsin’s Shame: ‘I Thought It Was a Home Invasion’ (WI Dem DA Terrorizes Local Republicans)
To say nothing of the death threats -- even to his kids and his mother. He has been tested and found up to the task. Cruz is good. I would have no trouble voting for him. Hopefully, they'll wind up on the same ticket; and I don't care who's on top.
Aren’t they socially liberal?
Walker immigration policy:
Followed by Trump and Graham.
In case you haven’t noticed, those decisions (and any changes) are in the hands of the legislatures first and the judiciary second. The chief executive has little to say about it, other than the bully pulpit.
Hope so!
Ted, or nobody, for me.
Cruz or lose. Money and shoeleather beat talking any day of the week. Cruz is getting my money along with FR. I've always given to FR every quarter when I could, but this is the first time that I've sent money to a politician this early in the game. Get used to it.
Cruz or lose.

Cruz Awakening
When you snooze you’ll lose without Cruz..
I strongly prefer Cruz. If Cruz gets eliminated, I think that I might be able to support Walker. Don’t think that I’ll be staying home.
Agreed, Cruz or lose. The flip flopping etch-a-sketcher’s Walker, Jeb, and the rest of the RINO’s Fox NEws likes to put on but ignore Cruz tells me I’m on the right team.
Cruz 2016 or i’ll just write him in and let the GOP go the way of the Whig party.
I thought Mrs. Cruz was a Managing Partner at Goldman. Not that it makes any difference really.
I'm certainly not going to vote for whatever liberal (R) the media and the GOP-E throws out there.

Yeah...everyone should vote for Jeb.
Which means she isn't working for anybody. Facts matter.

Good post.
They all take the sacred oath to support and defend the Constitution, which absolutely requires equal protection for every person.
Relax John-boy.
I meant it doesn’t matter if she’s MP or VP of GS. And if she took a leave of absence then fine. I don’t spend my days keeping up on what Ted Cruz’s wife is doing - some of us work for a living.
Get a grip.
Agreed, no Gope for me either.
You’re probably right and I probably misremembered her exact title. Whatever she may be, Cruz has the blessing of Goldman and whether that’s a good or bad thing is left as an exercise for the reader.
