These 8 Republican Sugar Daddies Are Already Placing Their Bets on 2016 

It's not just the Kock brothers.

The 2016 election is more than a year and a half away, but conservative megadonors are already picking their favorite candidates:

Sugar Daddy Norman Braman (Billionaire car dealer and former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles)

Prostitute Marco Rubio

Rubio is "the candidate of today and tomorrow," Braman tells Mother Jones. "Read his book and you'll see."

Sugar Daddy Robert Mercer (Hedge Fund magnate and the owner of a $2 million model train set)

Prostitute Ted Cruz

Mercer's firm has been accused of dodging $6 billion in taxes; Cruz has mused about abolishing the IRS.

Sugar Daddy Foster Friess (Crocodile hunting mutual fund financier)

Prostitute Rick Santorum

Friess, who joked about aspirin's contraceptive powers while backing Santorum in 2012, told the Washington Post, "I am clearly in the Santorum camp."

Sugar Daddy Larry Ellison (Founder of Oracle and owner of a private Hawaiian island)

Prostitutes Rand Paul and Rubio

Ellison has held big-ticket fundraisers for both candidates at his $200 million Japanese-style Silicon Valley estate.

Sugar Daddy Ken Langone (Home Depot cofounder who once said, "I'm nuts, I'm rich, and boy, do I love a fight!")

Prostitute Chris Christie

Langone, who initially supported Christie in 2012, has offered to build a bridge between his donor network and the New Jersey governor.

Sugar Daddy Sheldon Adelson (Casino tycoon who dropped more than $93 million to defeat Obama in 2012)

Prostitute Rubio...maybe

Adelson has received visits from Rubio, but is staying coy. His spokesman told Politico, "He's going to keep his powder dry until he needs to weigh in."

Sugar Daddy Charles and David Kock (Billionaire bros who have vowed to spend $900 million in 2016)

Prostitute Scott Walker...maybe

David Kock reportedly likes Walker's chances, but the brothers plan to hold "auditions" for GOP candidates this summer.
