DANA POINT, Calif. (AP) -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and four other GOP presidential candidates are at a luxury Southern California resort speaking to the billionaire Koch brothers and other conservative donors.

Industrialists Charles and David Koch have convened about 450 like-minded business leaders this weekend to listen to Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former technology executive Carly Fiorina.

On Saturday, Charles Koch welcomed the donors and encouraged them to stop "crony capitalism" -- even if those policies hurt their bottom lines.

Unfortunately, Charles, most are not as principled as you are.

And all of them there with their ‘beggars’ cups, saying:

Please give me some money and I’ll do whatever you want done....

Oh I’m sooo glad that Trump is not there in that mess, he isn’t owned by anyone....and Cruz is has more class than Jebby, Linda and the rest....

[Jeb Bush: I’m not ‘auditioning’ for the Koch brothers MSNBC]

I’m pretty sure that none of the others made THAT statement when they were asking for financial support from the Koch brothers.

Maybe the Koch brothers were ‘listening’ to Jebbie then and will take that into consideration when he holds out his sweating palm for their money.

Like a “canned hunt” or a shopping trip on someone else’s charge card.

Hopefully no one “owns” Trump and he won’t be up for sale.

This is really ripping off the cover of ugly.

I was copying the ‘snort’ of the guy who was agreeing with you. BTW, I’m supporting Cruz.
