POLL: Trump towers over GOP field with unprecedented lead…
Larger than Reagan in 1980, Bush in 1988…
To meet with GOP mega-donor but says, ‘Don’t want his money’…
“With foreign policy and national security dominating the discourse for Republican presidential hopefuls, candidates will gather Tuesday evening on the home turf of the pro-Israel Republican mega-donor, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, for the last GOP debate of 2015 and the first since terrorist attacks in Paris and California brought confronting Islamist terrorism to the forefront of the campaign.
Tuesday’s debate will be held at Las Vegas’ Venetian Casino, owned by Adelson, whose deep pockets are seen as key to many candidates making a run at the White House. Adelson along with his Israeli-born wife, Miriam, donated $93 million to Republicans in the 2012 election cycle, making them the highest individual political donors in America that year.
In what pundits have nicknamed “the Adelson Primary,” many Republican presidential candidates are continuing to jockey for a position to receive a similar windfall in this elections cycle, particularly if it could help boost their standing against another casino owner — billionaire mogul-turned candidate Donald Trump.”
