SHELDON ADELSON SAYS NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WORTH BUYING
POSTED BY ANDY BOROWITZ

LAS VEGAS (The Borowitz Report)—The casino billionaire and Republican kingmaker Sheldon Adelson met several 2016 G.O.P. candidates available for purchase over the weekend, but decided to buy none of them, Adelson confirmed today.

After hearing speeches by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and several others who were for sale, Mr. Adelson concluded that none of them are worth owning.

“I don’t want to spend millions on another loser,” said Adelson, who purchased both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney in 2012.

The casino magnate was scathing in his assessment of the candidates he declined to buy, calling them “a third-rate grab bag of has-beens and dimwits.”

“I guess the Republican Party is thinking, Here comes crazy old Sheldon, he’ll blow his money on the first washed-out wingnut we throw out there,” Adelson said. “Well, guess again.”
 
The GOP has been making life easy for Andy here lately. Hell, these lampoons write themselves. All Borowitz has to do anymore is type it and publish it! ;)
 
I'm pretty sure Ted Cruz and Rand Paul were specifically not invited. they too crazy.
here's a better angle of the Trump-lite comb-over.

Nope, he only invited the ones that he thought might be electable. And it would appear that even they were too crazy. :D

He's not what you could call a handsome man is he? ;)

So you're predicting he won't be spending any money on Republican candidates for president in 2016? I'd like to make a bet with you that he will. How much would you like to lose?

Of course he will Stan. Probably a couple hundred million (2-3 days worth of income).

But he'll back neither a kook like Newt nor an inept one like Mittens. ;)

NO ONE who didn't attend the pilgrimage to Vegas.....will be the 2016 GOP Nominee. Which means Rand, Calgary Ted, The Incredible Huck...are out.

It's looking very likely the GOP will do a "Romney-Redux".....give a lot of money to a sane candidate, a Governor, someone the Base will call a "RINO" (at first), split the Far Right vote among 2-3 "pure conservatives"....

the Eventual Nominee cleans up on plurality wins and becomes inevitable.

The Incredible Huck? LoL.. perfect!

As for inevitable, probably about time for Dean Chambers to shake the mothballs off his old website! :D

I agree. It will be a repeat of the 2012 strategy. I just hope the RNC doesn't get away with stopping the primary election debates. I know why they want to do it, but just think of the comedy gold we'll all miss out on if they don't put the clowns on parade.

I wonder about that. Can Chambers dip from the well a second time? Can Dick Morris?

2 years from now if the polls show the GOP Nominee behind the Democratic Nominee....will the cry "skewed polls" ring hollow for the Right or even....

scare them???? :)

That's their plan. Keep the primary debates to a minimum, so the Chosen Nominee doesn't have to "get down to the level" of the Nutjobs or say something stupid when taking on an opponent....thinking of Mitt Romney's "$10,000 bet, Governor" moment with Perry.

Huh?????? Have you seen Hillary debate? It's not her strong point at all. If anyone, it is SHE who will want to keep the debating to a minimum.

And do you really think some silly $10,000 bet was of any consequence????

It'll be interesting to see how that goes for SpongeReince PriebPants. I'll wager that once two or three candidates commit to a proposed debate the others will be forced to follow.

Oh please... Huckleberry knows he doesn't stand a chance. If he gets in at all, it's to maintain brand value, nothing more. I doubt he's deluded enough to think he can go beyond his little show on Fox, assuming it's still on.

Look at that, Stan. GOP Primaries haven't even started and you Mr. "I Hate Both Parties"....is already trying to dodge and deflect to defend Republicans.

JUST IMAGINE how much you'll sound like EVERY OTHER Republican partisan...by 2016? :)

RNC going to hold a tighter leash this time. They know what we know...

the more the Wackadoodle Candidates get to talk, and the Sane Candidates have to take them seriously?....the worse it looks for their Party in the Fall of '16.
