They actually line up to do it. Rand Paul, in Kansas to campaign for Sam Brownback last fall, requested a private meeting with Charles Koch in his Wichita office.
Sen. Ted Cruz stopped by to tell Mr. Koch that he was the best conservative to reflect the interests of the Kochs.
Gov. Christie stopped by David Koch’s office in Manhattan. He brought his wife along to socialize with Mr. and Mrs. David Koch.
Soon a group of 2016 Republican hopefuls will be traveling to a resort near Palm Springs for a Koch Brothers seminar. Cruz, Paul, and Marco Rubio were all invited. So was Scott Walker and Jeb Bush, although Bush said he has a scheduling conflict.
We should be grateful to Ashley Parker of the New York Times, who wrote about this ass-kissing in the Jan. 21 issue, although the term “ass-kissing” is mine, not hers.
While their names were not mentioned in the article, I don’t think Clinton or Warren or Sanders were invited to the Palm Springs seminar.
