Influential Koch network backs Nikki Haley in GOP presidential primary
CNN ^ | November 28, 2023 | Fredreka Schouten

The influential network associated with billionaire Charles Koch will throw its money and influence behind former South Caroline Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary, the group announced Tuesday.

The decision could dramatically reshape the Republican field – roughly seven weeks before the Iowa caucuses – as Americans for Prosperity Action deploys its vast resources and standing army of conservative activists on behalf of the former South Carolina governor.

The endorsement marks the latest sign that powerful Republican donors are coalescing behind the candidacy of the former US ambassador to the United Nations. She has seen prominent figures join her campaign in recent weeks, particularly after South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott exited the race.

Well that settles it. If the Koch Brothers are backing Nikki, then I am too.

(Is a sarc tag really necessary?)

More evidence that DeSantis blew it. He should have aligned with Trump and against Haley and the other pretenders.

All the “influence” in the world won’t make her President.

Koch = Dem cavers. DeSantis could still make her irrelevant with a strong debate against Newsom this week.

Suggested campaign song for Nikki Haley:
“Money Money Money ”

“Oh the things I could do
If I had a little money
In the rich man’s world”

CNN pretends to be backing Niki.
Nicki is too stupid to realize that this is just a head fake.

“In sharp contrast to recent elections that were dominated by the negative baggage of Donald Trump and in which good candidates lost races that should have been won, Nikki Haley, at the top of the ticket, would boost candidates up and down the ballot, winning the key independent and moderate voters that Trump has no chance to win.”

The problem with Nikki is that the Democrats will go to court to toss her out of the Oval Office under the claim that she is not a natural born citizen.

As DJT knows well, the Democrats are not afraid to go to court to stymie Republicans.

Elitists backing a committed globalist.

Can’t remember who this quote is from but it certainly applies:

The comfort of the rich depends on an abundant supply of the poor.

In these perilous times, rich elitists are not the friend of regular folks like me.

DeSantis needed to buy better kneepads to beg for billionaire support.

Live and learn.

Lol.
