WASHINGTON — The top political adviser in Washington to the Koch brothers will join Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign in another sign the GOP establishment is trying to bolster the Florida senator’s White House bid.

Marc Short, president of Freedom Partners, will become senior adviser to Rubio’s campaign.

ADVERTISING

Freedom Partners is the umbrella political organization of Charles and David Koch, the billionaire brothers who are among the most generous supporters of Republicans.

“This is a big get for Rubio,” Phil Cox, former executive director of the Republican Governors Association, told Politico.

1. Rubio is going to be Trump's pick for VP, that's why...

[blm]

2. I think Rubio means to win, but, will start crafting his speech to appeal to the Trumpets.

And it wouldn't hurt him to adopt some of the lingo if it comes to being on the ticket as VP.

Win, win for Rubio…..I guess.

4. Trump's been easy on him...doesn't want bad stuff to come out...needs the hispanice vote...

[blm]

5. I noticed.

It's Rubio, though, who would step on baby Jesus if he thought it would lift him higher. I think VP is only Plan B for Rubio.

6. nothing surprises me any more with these republicans. they will way anything and do anything

to get in power. so whatever rubio does won't bother me. I expect the worst of the worst from out of his mouth...

3. Probable

Rubio would blanket Trump's wall project under a smiling Latino face.

10. Considering Trump's total lack of any sort of legislative experience,...

...he'd probably want someone more accomplished than a one term empty suit who never shows up to do his fucking job.

But what the hell do I know? No one seems to actually give a shit about experience any more.

[blm]

13. Rubio DOES have experience, in getting the fascist legislation passed that was pre-written by ALEC

ALEC = Koch Brothers.

7. This will be interesting to watch and the reactions should they in any way go after Trump

that pisses off his base. They do not want another establishment guy and Rubio
is all those things, he's their adorable neocon. Trump's reaction is also going to
be interesting, I would not bet he'll go quietly. Rubio needs Trumps voters and
The Donald is not about the good of the party.

[blm]

9. Rubio is a longtime watercarrier for ALEC - helped pass the laws they wanted in Florida.

No surprise they would be backing him now.

8. Oh, we must share that far and wide.

Cruz ain't gonna like it.

[Lodestar]

11. I'll bet all the GOP candidates are backed by the Brothers Grimm n/t

[librechik]

12. oh, did someone wake the Koch Brothers?

they are late to the party for Rubio.
