"We have to replace Judge Scalia with justices of the Supreme Court like him. If Hillary Clinton gets in, she is now so far left, that we're never gonna have a country again. We're gonna end up being Venezuela. We're gonna end up being Venezuela." -DJT on July 27, 2016

2/ We're trying to piece the GOP primary & campaign together. As I've said, there's intentional disinfo given to MSM.

January 8, 2016:

The Koch brothers' "concern over the policies of Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas was especially clear."
nytimes.com/politics/first…

3/ So, Trump being the anti-establishment candidate, this either doesn't hurt him or helps him, right? The "establishment" wins by pumping money to Cruz and shoving out Trump, but they chose not to.

Then the stakes were raised in mid-February 2016 when Justice Scalia died.

4/ Right after Scalia's death, Mercer's Cambridge Analytica stopped working for Ted Cruz's campaign.

Cambridge Analytica's work for Cruz doesn't quite add up in the first place. Millions went unspent. Promises weren't kept. It's weird all around.

5/ Then on March 2, 2016, Koch brothers said they "will not use their $400 million political arsenal to try to block Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s path to the presidential nomination."

So, there was no big money standing in Trump's way.

6/ Then, on July 19, 2016, Trump gets the GOP nomination.

7/ A little over a week later, Trump tells the GOP establishment, "I'm your guy."

Thus, Trump saying, "We have to replace Judge Scalia with justices of the Supreme Court like him."

8/ Thus we end up with Neil Gorsuch, whose biggest backer is Philip Anschutz. They're both from Colorado, #CNP and right smack dab in the middle of the Koch AND Mercer orbits.

@ninaandtito knows ALL of this:

Worth a read:

9/ How did Cambridge Analytica end up so heavily involved with the Colorado GOP?

Robert Mercer & Philip Anschutz.

10/ But why would they spend so many millions to control one state's legislature?

Simple. More oil and gas profits.
