What do you have against spending??? It is economic activity. Think of all the jobs created during election season.

Of course they will not address the point that Soros cannot run for President. Many of the 0.0001%ers cannot run for US President and that is why they pay others to run for them. But that is why our politicians work for the puppet masters! We desperately need change!

I would think that it would be a legitimate question to ask Kasich -

"Why do you think George Soros has donated over a Half Million Dollars to your election?"

Will any reporter ask that? Doubtful.
But it sure would be a dandy question.

Yahoo! Soros, Alarmed by Trump, Pours Millions in 2016 Race

"Soros has spent or committed more than $13 million to support Hillary Clinton and other Democrats this election cycle, already more than his total disclosed spending in the last two presidential elections combined. Soros's importance to Clinton goes beyond the checks he writes, since other major Democratic donors sometimes follow his lead. At the same time, it's likely that in a general election, Trump would pillory Clinton for her reliance on Soros and other wealthy hedge-fund managers.

Soros told a Clinton confidant that he wished he hadn't backed Obama in the primary four years earlier. He said he's been impressed that he can always call/meet with you on an issue of policy and he hasn't met with the president ever," Neera Tanden said in a 2012 e-mail to Clinton, who was then serving as Obama's Secretary of State. "He regretted his decision in the primary -- he likes to admit mistakes when he makes them and that was one of them.
The e-mail was one of thousands of Clinton's messages that the State Department later made public, several of which show what a warm reception Soros got from her office."

The problem is why didn't the Trump campaign use it against Kasich since the media seems loathe to report it.

I heard Mr. Trump said he sprayed around his money to everybody across the political spectrum to hedge his bets.

Maybe he knows that Kasich will emerge from the brokered convention in Cleveland as the GOP nominee. Rich people seem to know everything . . . insider information.

THIS Major GOP Presidential Candidate Took $588,375 From George Soros!





Surprising since Soros typically prefers owning Democrats.


on a side note..
Putin has an international warrant out on Soros for financial terrorism. I hope someday, sooner rather than later, Putin will get him.


These contributions have nothing to do with Kasich winning the election and everything to do with getting the victory in Ohio and denying Trump those delegates. The goal here is a brokered convention so the GOP take take back the reigns of their party and nominate someone who will go along with the Agenda.


Soros doesn't have long to live and many aspects of the Agenda are coming to a head right now. Soros needs to stop Trump so he can die knowing he succeeded in helping to create the globalist dystopia, or at least bringing us to the point of no return.

She always made time for Soros as Secretary of State and would be owned by him if she gets back in the WH.

Mother Jones was actually the first to report on this back in February. They were also asking "WHY".

Why Are George Soros-Linked Financiers Giving Big Bucks to Support John Kasich? |Mother Jones - 2/12/16

Add up the 3 donations we know of so far and you get to $588,375 From George Soros & associates. There could be a lot more - many Arms to the Soros Octopus.

Soros is just about as Far Left as anyone can be - so why the sudden support for a Republican Kasich?
Kasich keeps saying "I'm going to be President", which is a little odd considering he has not won a single State yet. He is counting heavily of being a "consensus candidate" at a GOP Convention Battle. A Convention Battle will be disastrous for the GOP -- I bet Soros would give many, many MORE Millions to see that happen. It's pretty much the only answer. The Leftist Media will do all it can to continue to promote a GOP Convention Battle. Republicans (the anti-Trumpers) are pushing the same "plan". Odd unholy alliance.

It's a good plan for the Left and will be a disaster for the Right if they both manage to pull it off.
Strangest Election I've ever seen.
