Why Bloomie bailed...

So after Mikey set a lot of tongues a-wagging, he finally decides not to take the plunge after all

Why do you think that might be? After all, if ANYBODY had their finger on the political pulse of what's happening right now, it would have to be Michael Bloomberg, would it not?

But, unlike Trump, Mike's way too shy, or cheap, or maybe just too smart to drop his own dollars on a run for the White House, so he went to the MMBs. The Major Money Bags.

You know the crew...  Fat Sheldon, the Koch boys.

But they remembered that Mr. Bloomberg the potential candidate was also Bloomberg the news guy.

That was the end of that!

Koch millions not enough to revive moribund Walker campaign

The moron from Madison has succumbed to the Trump tsunami and pulled the plug on his run for the White House. That's another way of saying the Koch boys didn't see the point in throwing good money after bad to keep this stiff afloat. Politics is just business, after all, and they were well into the land of diminishing returns on the Walker file.

That leaves four Koch-owned horses in the race. According to the most recent polls, fourth place Rubio is now the top Kochette, polling at 11%, while Jeb is in fifth place with 9%. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are consistently trending downhill and will most likely have thrown in their respective towels by Thanksgiving.

Jeb and Marco combined are trailing Trump by four points.

But, it's early days in the greatest show on earth...

Anything could happen. The think tank here at Falling Downs has been tracking unconfirmed rumours that former President Camacho is considering tossing his beanie into the ring. Just imagine a Trump v Camacho death match for the GOP ticket!

Wouldn't that be a great day for democracy!

Even Bloomberg recognizes that Koch brothers are dirtbags

Here's a cover from Bloomberg Markets circa 2011.

And that's not all. Guess who's behind the big push for that Keystone pipeline? Those Canadian tar sludge developments are as much about Koch as they are about Canada.

So those GOP contenders who weren't invited to the shindig in California this weekend should see that as a badge of honour.
