Goldman Donations Shift to Marco Rubio as Jeb Bush Fades (Bush Hopes on Life Support)
Breitbart ^ | 3 Feb 16 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 02/04/2016 5:54:04 AM PST by xzins

According to recent FEC filings, top political donors at Goldman Sachs shifted their giving to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% in the last three months of last year.

Jeb Bush had been the top recipient of donations from the Wall Street investment bank. Donations to Bush shrank to a trickle as his campaign faded.

The most recent filing covers contributions and expenses between October and December. Marco Rubio’s campaign received $107,000 from Goldman Sachs executives. This number likely does not include donations to various Super PACs tied to Rubio’s candidacy.

One of the bank’s lobbyists, Joseph Wall, is a campaign bundler for Rubio. Bundlers collect donations from a variety of sources on behalf of the campaign.

In contrast, Jeb Bush’s campaign received just $2,950 from Goldman donors in the final three months of year. Prior to the fourth quarter, though, Goldman executives had donated $773,000 to Bush campaign accounts. Except for Cruz, Rubio and Bush, all other Republicans candidates received less than $19,000 from the bank in all of last year.

Only Bernie paradises like North Korea pass the dear leader crown from father to son to son.

Bush should be embarrassed for thinking the presidency is his family crown.

The Cheap Labor Express is getting behind Mario Rubco.
The RNC owes them an amnesty candidate and they mean to collect.
Their entire purpose is to block us from electing anyone who would stop them.

They WILL pressure all the others to drop out after New Hampshire. That WILL make Rubio extremely relevant.

As long as Trump/Cruz feud like dogs in the pit, Rubio will rise.

If this goes to a brokered convention, Rubio will walk out with the nomination.

El Busho can go back to Florida and run for Rubio’s seat. Rubio can sit in for Juan Williams on the Five as his next gig.

He just thought he could run as a new and improved GWB and win - but time for that type of candidate has long passed.

I just think Jeb is starting to look as pathetic as ol’ Fredo here.

I thought Cruz was owned by Goldman Sachs...?

Or was that just more nonsense from the Trump campaign...?

Maybe they are avoiding Cruz on purpose.
His Campaign Chair worked for Goldman as Vice President and advises them through his Chertoff Group. Sweet worked for Goldman for 10 years.

I am just going to leave this here in reference to Accenture:

http://visacoach.org/tag/h1b-accenture/

“It is actually not a minor fight at all because it actually is pitting multinational Indian giants like Tata, InfoSys, Wipro & Cognizant against US heavy weights like IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, etc. with multi billion dollar IT contracts in the US at stake. In fact because of the monetary and political clout of these companies the battle has risen all the way to the top of both the US and Indian governments with many issues possibly going to have to be resolved by the World Trade Organization (WTO).”

...and what did Cruz want to do with H1B visas?

My take....If the Mouth of Manhattan doesn’t win N.H. he will drop out.

Trump, a political rookie and two time loser would be too much for him to bear in public. LOL

I don’t think his ego would allow him to stay in the race. He’ll drop out and Endorse Rubio.

Then the Clintons will tear Dondi apart in the General.

IMHO If Clinton wins, t would have come down to this.

There are More gibmedats who vote for more free stuff then there are worker bees in this society and we are done as a Representative Republic.
