Just announced.....The Koch-Bushy faction has just announced they are all in for Bitch Haley.

The RINO's are coalescing around their establishment candidate.

Indeed they are.   **nononono*
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Ron DeSantis files for Texas primary through surrogate, with a taxpayer-funded lobbyist at the table.



I cannot bring myself to cast a vote for Ron DeSandis.

No name?  Just a picture of some unknown guy(?) in a black vest sitting at a table in a room full of people?  Seriously?  That's why you can't vote for DeSantis?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I know nothing about this guy, but a lot of "lobbyists" are lawyers for whom it isn't a full time job.  They consult on some issues within their areas of expertise, etc., but otherwise have a normal practice. So anyway, this guy may just be the campaign's legal representative in Texas.  Unless there is something more nefarious than "he's a lobbyist", without any details about why that is bad, this is a big nothingburger.

Apparently, you missed the words "taxpayer funded" (read anti-taxpayer) in the description.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Yeah, that's not what that means.  States lobby to bring in businesses all the time, and sometimes hire people to try to encourage businesses to move there.

But we don't know, because it is a deliberate hit job of an article lacking any worthwhile detail.

I live in Texas my friend, and YOU do not know what you are talking about! In Texas, when those words are used it means funded by one or more taxpayer funded organizations who then pay lobbyist to work against those same taxpayers. TAC (Texas Association of Counties), and TML (Texas Municiple League) being but two of many. THAT should, and soon will be, illegal.

The Blob wants Haley. She’ll do everything the Atlantic Council / neocon / NATO warmongers & profiteers want. Otherwise she’s “republican,” but “moderate.”
She’s already signalled she’ll support every domestic surveillance / propaganda / censorship program. She’s safe.

Still haven't received an answer to my question.  Surely, some Trump supporter has the guts to come forward and answer:

"What is the point of voting for someone in the GOP primary who has a proven track record of signing off on every single piece of Democrat legislation that comes across his desk and whose negatives are so high that he will never garner 50% of the November vote?"
