One of the wealthiest and most influential Republican donors in the country is throwing his support to Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a decision that could swing millions of dollars in contributions behind Mr. Rubio at a critical point in the Republican nominating battle.
In a letter that Mr. Singer sent to dozens of other donors on Friday, which was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Singer described Mr. Rubio — who was elected to the Senate in the Tea Party wave but has been embraced by the party’s Washington elite — as the only candidate who can “navigate this complex primary process, and still be in a position to defeat†Hillary Rodham Clinton in a general election. ...
Both Mr. Rubio and Mr. Bush eagerly sought Mr. Singer’s backing, as did Mr. Christie, and all three have ties to the wealthy hedge fund manager.
...
The lobbying of Mr. Singer intensified in recent weeks as Mr. Bush’s debate stumbles and declining poll numbers drove many donors to consider Mr. Rubio anew. Last week, Mr. Bush’s campaign manager, Danny Diaz, and senior adviser, Sally Bradshaw, flew to New York to make personal appeals on Mr. Bush’s behalf, in the hopes of heading off an endorsement of Mr. Rubio, according to two people close to the former governor’s campaign.

Fool. Money.
Well is it not perfectly logical that a man of 10 figures would not see the hard work of a man that foes around being too bored to do his job and say
“Now there...THERE is a man I can get behind because I see myself in him!”
Well maybe not. Unless ‘himself’ is an Amnesty supporter after more billions through slave labor.
Rubio couldn’t beat Hillary if they tied her to a chair and armed him with whips, chains, knives, swords, and an atomic bomb!
I wonder who the GOPE will pick when rotten Rubio collapses.
I thought Trump was ahead of this. Didn’t he bring up Rubio’s lack of voting and representing his state in the Senate just recently?
They must really be afraid of Trump and Cruz. There is no way Rubio can put Hillary out and they know it.
Maybe they’ll keep tippytoes on life support long enough for everyone else to fade.
That’s NOT going to happen; after a few days the smell of jebby’s rotting corpse will be too much for the sensitive nosed elites.
Toot. Toot. The Cheap Labor Express is now boarding.
It’s already been rotting for months.
I really believe that’s what they’re doing.
When have they really tried to win lately?
Swinging to Rubio? Swinging from whom? From Bush?
Now, if it was Trump or Cruz to Rubio, it would be meaningful, but this is meaningful for the simple reason that Rubio is attracting Insider donors.
Romney.
Can't have those voters deciding anything.
He’ll be back. They will run him with Hillary as a unity party. I said this a couple months back. They will stoke Trump Cruz fear to fever pitch (Never let a good crisis go to waste) then run him or another RINO with Hillary as a unifying force to heal the wounds and bring the country together.
Think Paul Wellstone Funeral and there’s the model. they are already spreading the unity buzzword. Lest we forget Mitvh and Jonbon campaigned on working WITH Obama and landslided the election.

Is the GOPe donors list leaving Jeb in the dust?
