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

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.

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

Their schoolyard trash talk is sickening! If they would have never started the stupid crap in the first place, they would have rendered all the rest of the field to an afterthought. But NOooo! They had to let their big headed egos fu..um..screw everything up! They, and they alone, opened the door for Rubio. I'm so pissed at those two idiots I could scream!

Cruz is off his Christian conservative message and now a robber baron.

Trump is off his American security message and out tilting windmills.
