Why Is Sheldon Adelson Sitting Out The Republican Primaries?

I told you Trump and Adelson have a deal. Trump supports Israel and Adelson does not oppose Trump. If only other Jewish elites were as smart as Adelson in this respect. Trump will not forget those who supported him and those who opposed him.

Most of the big players in the Republican Party have decided to avoid an all-out war against Donald Trump. At this point, Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee. The Republican party will change to fit Trump because he offers them a winning opportunity.

Politico: It’s one of the biggest mysteries in Republican circles: Why has Sheldon Adelson ― who spent upward of $100 million during the previous presidential campaign ― suddenly stopped pouring huge sums of money into politics?
The conventional wisdom ― that he’s planning to spend millions of dollars to support Marco Rubio but is waiting to see how the Florida senator fares in a few more primaries ― does not explain the severity of Adelson’s political spending freeze, which is more far-reaching than previously known.

According to a dozen donors and operatives who have spoken recently to Adelson or his representatives, the 82-year-old Las Vegas casino mogul hasn’t donated during this election cycle to several of the conservative political groups that have been regular recipients of his largesse. That includes groups that are not engaged in the GOP primary, such as the Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity and the Karl Rove-conceived Crossroads outfits, according to Adelson’s associates.
