perfect timing?.....................
During a Sunday panel segment on ABCs This Week, host George Stephanopolous noted that many potential 2016 candidates like former Gov. Jeb Bush, Gov. Scott Walker, Gov. John Kasich and Gov. Chris Christie had already met with Adelson.
I think its ridiculous that these candidates for president are trumping out to Las Vegas to go kiss the ring of a billionaire casino owner, Dowd said. And they think thats somehow going to help them get elected president.
I think money matters so much less than your own capacity as a candidate, he continued. What is your message? Whats your vision for the country.
They would be much better off spending time back where they live instead of flying to Las Vegas and figuring out whats their message, whats their vision, and how are they going to covey that to the American public.
