Scott Walker was the Kochs’ chosen one, the “King of Kochworld.” The Kochs hand-picked Walker because of his deep commitment to putting the Kochs’ self-enriching agenda ahead of everything else. On nearly every single issue, Walker was the Kochs’ model candidate. Whether it was attacking health care reform, slashing funding for education, working to disenfranchise voters, or hurting working families, when the Kochs said jump, Scott Walker said, “How high?”

While the Kochs won’t get a return on their investment under a President Walker, the rest of the GOP field is just as cozy with the Kochs and committed to moving the billionaires’ self-interested, profit-maximizing agenda forward.

In the end, whomever the Republican nominee is, the Kochs won’t lose. Like Walker, the rest of the GOP field is committed to toeing the Koch line:

Jeb Bush is no stranger in Koch country, as his ties to the billionaire brothers run deep. Jeb’s association with Koch-linked groups goes back decades, and even predates his first gubernatorial election —continuing through his tenure as governor and to this day.

Marco Rubio has taken every available opportunity to show his deep allegiance to the Kochs’ “libertarian” causes in hopes they’ll spend big on his campaign. On issue after issue, Rubio’s been a strong supporter of the Koch agenda — opposing the Ex-Im Bank, fighting against net neutrality, blocking a raise to the minimum wage, and supporting tax cuts for rich special interests like the Kochs.

Carly Fiorina made an attempt to schmooze the Kochs less than two months ago and according to POLITICO, had a performance on par with Rubio and Walker in the minds of Koch donors. In addition to her campaign manager being a former Koch Industries employee, Fiorina has signaled she’s just as committed to moving the Koch agenda forward as the rest of the GOP field.

Ted Cruz, one of the Kochs’ chosen five, is a longtime favorite at Koch events and is one of the loudest advocates and defenders of the Koch agenda in the Senate — putting special interests and billionaires like the Kochs ahead of middle class and working families.

With Walker out of the race, and the “Koch-iest Candidate” title up for grabs, each candidate in the Republican field will likely renew their efforts to woo the Koch brothers in hopes they spend a piece of the $900 million they’ve promised to spend in 2016 propping up his or her campaign.
