WTF would any of those corporations give that scumbag a nickel?

I think at least one of them is, but, King is as useful as tits on a boar. He is one of the least productive members of Congress. He goes on Fox, he goes on social media, he gives a few rallies, but the one thing you never hear about is King leading a committee, or shepherding legislation of any kind through Congress. If you look at his own webpage there is a shocking lack of production.Link didn't work for me, but seems like several tech companies have data centers in Iowa for the cheap energy, low natural disasters and likely tax credits. I wonder if Intel has one or is planning one in his district?

I get corporations giving money to all kinds of politicians, but this is throwing good money after bad at this point.

Yep.WTF would any of those corporations give that scumbag a nickel?
King continues to attract financial support from some of America's most prominent corporations and trade groups. For his 2018 campaign, King has received contributions from AT&T ($5,000), Berkshire Hathaway ($2,500), the American Bankers Association ($9,000), Land O’Lakes ($2,500), Intel ($2,000), and many others.
But in an internal October 25 email obtained by Popular Information, Intel's Director of Policy and External Partnerships, Dawn Jones, said that Intel was ending its financial support. After reviewing King's public statements, Jones wrote, the company determined they "conflict with Intel values" and "we are no longer donating to his campaigns."
We had engaged with Rep. King because of his support for IP theft protections, which is important to Intel’s business. However, an Intel employee raised concerns about the donations earlier this month. We looked into the congressman’s public statements and determined that they conflict with Intel values. As a result, we are no longer donating to his campaigns.
There has been no response thus far from AT&T or the other corporate donors to King's campaign.
He's a "better" conservative, but still a corporate conservative. Things have gotten so bad in America that when a plutocrat donates to or supports sensible causes we think that makes them a liberal.Kind of surprised Warren Buffet (Berkshire Hathaway) donates to him. Has he pretty much handed off day to day operations to someone else?

Because he votes yes for their interests.WTF would any of those corporations give that scumbag a nickel?
Are you talking about Trump or WB? Buffett takes $100,000 for himself. Most CEOs in his shoes are taking 100x that. So no, I don’t believe you if you are referring to Warren.Wrong.
Hes far from a conservative.
Don’t just look at his giving - his companies payrolls are loaded with unqualified politician relatives doing little work for big salaries.

True enough, I forgot about those. Thanks!
Could you provide some evidence of this?Wrong.

And people wonder why I voted for Evan McMullin.
This is all very encouraging, but I will be flabbergasted if King doesn't win handily.
