What a waste of $5 million

Does anyone else see the irony in a casino owner creating a film about Bain company bankrupting businesses resulting in poor people losing all their money?

Someone should also point out to Newt that he is citing the Washington Post and the NYT as the primary sources for this film. Not so long ago, he rose in the polls for calling out the media's dishonesty and bias. Apparently he believes they got this one right.

I suppose most "Regan Conservatives" do not believe companies should make a profit.

what can 25 million buy?


The Adelsons’ $25 million contribution constituted almost the entire haul of $26 million that the Senate Leadership Fund brought in last month and more than half of the $44 million it’s raised this year. The super PAC had $45.2 million in cash on hand on July 31, according to the most recent filing.https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/20/adelson-republican-donors-sheldon-miriam-789833
