Marc Short, the Koch brothers’ top political adviser in Washington and a trusted member of their inner circle for five years, is making a surprise move to the Marco Rubio campaign as a senior adviser as the Republican establishment ramps up efforts to stop Donald Trump.
Short — president of Freedom Partners, the Kochs’ umbrella political organization — will join the campaign in about a week and brings deep connections to the donor and grass-roots worlds.
“Marc has been running the most sophisticated political operation for the last few cycles, and really knows the mood of the electorate," said Scott Reed, senior political strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "This is a big sign of consolidation by the party.”
Charles and David Koch have not endorsed in the presidential race and are unlikely to while there are still multiple viable candidates running against Trump, according to GOP sources. Top backers in the brothers' network include supporters of Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz. Any decision to get involved in the nomination race would likely come only if it narrowed to Trump and one of those senators, the sources said.

Did the plot just thicken ?
Maybe the Kochs are tired of being liberal whipping boys, and want to come out as quasi-liberals to lighten the flak?
Just a thought.
Will he get the standard high heels or something a little more sexy. Maybe in red.
The puppet masters come a little closer to the puppets ...

Tells you everything you need to know. Both the cabana boy Rubio and this amnesty shill Reed are for open borders.
Marc Short must be as well.
The “guru” will be looking for work on March 16.
Did the Koch brothers see thirty thousand plus in Alabama today. They were to busy moving chess pieces around.
It seems like years since then, and it's only been 5 days.
Since then the Nevada Caucus results, the debate, the Christie endorsement, now Sessions.

Dear Guru,
Beware the Ides of March. After Trump wins Florida the Koch’s are gonna want their money back.
Maybe the DC crowd fears the Kochs, the Soros, et al...but the people have no direct contact with them, and don’t owe them Jack $h/+.
As long as the numbers are so big they can’t cheat their way in, we’re ok!
Let the libs, the commiesocialist, and the GOPe wallow in it.
The Koch brothers will screw the pooch and Trump will prevail. It has been foreseen over and over in the stars. The time has come for real change.
Didn’t Fox do a hit piece on the Koch brothers early in the primary season?
I hope they lose a very large amount of money on Rubio!
They aren’t CONSERVATIVES and NEVER have been; they are LIBERTARIAN NUTCASES !
